Excellent bedside manner. Tends to run behind schedule because he communicates.

Dr Gagel is one of the most caring, considerate and humble M.D.s I have ever encountered. When I saw him at my last visit in Nov 2011, he still took his time to answer my questions and give me advice. Of course, because of his expertise and reputation, he is limited in how many people he can see in a given day. I would not be here today without his keen mind and caring attitude thru the years, having three primary cancers and one metastatic episode in my lymphnodes.

How does this doctor keep his job? He's made up his mind before he sees the patient. Entirely condescending and doesn't hear a thing.

I've heard this doctor used to be good, but now he thinks he's God. He lets incompetent staff make your diagnosis and interview you rather than speak to you himself -- and when he does speak to you, it's all about him. By the time you get through the process, you are so frustrated at the huge waste of time. The write-up of my visit was both medically inaccurate in a significant way (history, risk analysis, status) and insulting.
