I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gimbel’s for three years now. I’m very pleased with his knowledge and professionalism. He’s a patient listener and throughly answers my questions. I have ultimate confidence, though I hope I never need to use him again. He has put me on a path to good health, and I highly recommend him.

He was compassionate and listened to my story of symptoms. We discussed various options and ruled out possible issues. He demonstrated care and an overall concern for me as a whole person, not just as a diagnosis.

Had appointment last Friday, got in right on time and had vitals taken in no time. When Dr Gimbel came in, he was very pleasant and very thorough. We discussed my situation, discussed the risks vs rewards and made decisions that we were both comfortable with. Dr Gimbel is very easy to converse with and very down to earth, even while discussing possible life threatening situations. I have complete faith in him and feel lucky to have a specialist like him taking care of me.
