Dr. Gosey does not know what he is doing. There are so many people in Slidell left crippled and requiring further treatment because of his incompetence. He should not be allowed to perform surgery. He does not fix whatever problems the patient has. What ends up happening is that the patient has to go to another doctor to repair, the original problem and the damage the doctor Gosey did. Any positive reviews on this site were probably written by him or his family.

2 total hip replacements. No complications. He is professional, competent, experienced and takes as much time with you as necessary. Does not over-prescribe or suggest anything unnecessary. Would return for any other problems. (Sent husband there, too!)
