Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If I could give zero stars I would. He is the definition of a doctor with a God complex. Don't waste your time with him try someone, ANYONE, else. I've never met a more disrespectful and arrogant doctor. You'll waste your breath trying to get him to understand the pain you're experiencing because he will just disregard it all and belittle you. The amount of relief I felt when I stopped seeing him was tremendous. So much stress was immediately removed from my life by choosing to look for another doctor. I don't want anyone to go through what I had to. No human being deserves to be treated this way, especially by someone who is supposed to be helping them.

Dr Gast has hands down been the best Dr I have ever encountered. With the current political climate...the politicians, etc trying to insert themselves into our medical care I was terrified of having to somehow live with my pain. From the day he saw me I felt like I was listened to and truly cared for, which is sadly not the standard with all physicians. I would recommend him to anyone seeking excellent care and compassion.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Gast. I would highly recommend him. I have seen many many doctors and it's sad but very few listen well and talk to you like a human and with much compassion. He is always there for me when I need him and he does his research. I have a rare illness with no cure and he is constantly trying new things to help me. LOVE HIM AS A DOCTOR I also love his nurse's very much. They are so sweet and kind.

I was privileged to see Dr. Gast for the first time today. He performed an EMG-NCS on me. I was so impressed by his kindness and compassion. He made me feel very comfortable and treated me with the utmost respect. I have a very rare muscle disease, and it was so nice hear that he was very knowledgeable about it. This is a man/Doctor that knows a great deal about his profession,even the very rare conditions/diseases. I am very grateful I was able to see him today. I highly recommend Dr. Gast.
