He's horrible. Typical, so Called Doctor that has no idea what he's doing. If your situation isn't easy. He makes the, standard comments. They didn't want me to see him, but because the prefered, Doc was booked and not taking new patients I went ahead and saw him. Some day, I'l learn. He's like talking to the wall.

I moved to TN already disabled three years ago. I had to immediately set up a health team for myself and that process was terrible. However, I finally found a Rheumatologist who treats me like I am still a person. He is the most understanding, caring, doctor and has done everything in his power to help me. His staff are also very nice and caring. He has even recommended doctors to me that were exact fits to what I needed. It took me almost a year and a half to find this doctor and I am so happy I did. I would recommend Dr. Gore to anyone. Thanks

He is an amazing doctor who is easy to talk to. You can spend enough time with him to walk away feeling like you know what his plan of action is for you and what the next may be, if the first doesn't work out. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Gore, as I know that he is there for me even when I am not at the clinic. Vanderbilt knows how to pick their staff and I truly enjoy my experience with this doctor. I would recommend him to anyone. The staff are friendly and the waits are minimal. Great system in place at this office. I drive extra because of the care i receive from him and I know there are closer Rheumatologists, but not like this guy. If you can get in to see him, he is one of a kind. :-)
