I have never met a doctor like him. Professional yet personal. He makes you feel like your his only patient. Takes time to answer all your questions and explains everything to your satisfaction. Terrific bedside manner. Has a sense of humor.

Excellent physician. You definitely feel secure in his care. But the wait time for appointments is absolutely absurd.

Dr. Gibson was the perfect orthopod for me. He let me wait several years before I finally gave up and had simultaneous bilateral TKR. He told everything I could expect including how much I'd dislike him for a year after the surgery but that after year, I'd be happy with him and the surgery. He was spot on. Wish I'd had both knees done years before. Able to play golf and SCUBA dive post surgery Very happy with results.

Full knee replacement & couldn't be happier/couldn't be unhappier with the consistent hour ++ wait/six month follow up waited my usual hour+/politely inquired as to when/got a rude response/left without being seen & never going back/my 2 cents/find an MD who cares.
