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.

He saved my hand
I was referred to Dr by a friend as I thought I was going to have to travel to Vegas for surgery. Dr Gaberial met with me said we can fix this . I can even do my best to repair the damage to the nerves. He was very good at explaining so I understood and he is very compassionate. I’ve had my surgery and I’m on the road to healing . I’m out of my brace which I had learned it was just accessory to my wardrobe!! I have all the faith in Dr Gaberial and owe him a million thanks .

Awesome Experience
Dr. Gabriel did surgery on my right thumb this past fall. Winters are a busy time for me so I hadnt had time to say this earlier. I also just realized this for myself. I wasnt having to think about hiding my thumb. In the past I was constantly aware and made every effort to hide my right thumb from others. I was embarrassed of the mass that had grown on it and I was afraid to let anyone see it. Dr. Gabriel immediately scheduled the proper testing and surgery for my thumb. Surgery and the following visits were awesome. I really cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Dr. Gabriel and his staff. I had this growth on my thumb for 35+ years. I have had past doctors look at it and not know what to male of it. Now, You cant even tell it was there at all. I am so happy and I am happy I dont have to hide my thumb. I really want to thank Dr. Gabriel!

Don’t recommend
I have breast cancer and want reconstruction. My mastectomy surgeon referred me to Dr Gabriel for reconstruction. The referral was sent March 5 th. It’s now April 4 th and still no consult with Dr Gabriel. I have called countless times and even the front desk person has lied to me about when they received the referral. In the meantime here I sit with cancer. I wouldn’t recommend this Dr to anyone. No regard for your condition apparently..totally incompetent and other reviews confirm this. I had a referral sent to a different surgeon on Friday April 1. Hope I get better and quicker results before I die!!

Terrible. If you don't mind a doctor who doesn't even bother to say hello when he walks in to the examination room, or makes you wait hours for surgery, this is your guy.

I guess he knows his profession well but has a complete disregard for the patient as a customer. This is a guy who tells his patients to start lining up at 8:30 but never sees the first one until at least 9:30. 3 or 4 appointments and always sitting in a crowded waiting for well over a hour.
