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.

Dr. Gayle performed a Scope Left Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair on me 1 year ago. During rehab, the should responded well to therapy. The net result is that the repaired shoulder is even stronger than my non-injured shoulder and feels great. I was able to resume my normal activities which include beach volleyball and now weight training. Dr Gayle is a very skilled surgeon. My shoulder was very torn up inside as shown in the "before pictures" and was very tidy in the after surgery pictures. I really cannot believe the fantastic end result every time I use my shoulder.

Dr. Gayle operated my 19-year old son to remove a loose bone fragment in his knee. It was supposed to be a relatively simple operation but it was not successful. My son's symptoms got significantly worse and the post operation X-ray revealed remaining fragments in his knee. A different orthopedist conducted the post operation exam. We never heard back from Dr. Gayle.

I had acl reco and meniscus repair. Right to the point, the surgery was not successfully done. The result is that I barely walk today, my knee swollen frequently, grinding and I can't even explain how it effects my life. He is nice but, I would not recommend doing surgery with this doctor. If I could roll the time back I would defentialy done my surgery with someone else. I had/ have alot of suffering and pain.

Dr. Gayle performed ACL reconstruction surgery on me this year and I couldn't have had a better experience. The surgery was painless and my knee is now totally stable. Dr. Gayle has an excellent reputation and for good reason! I felt well cared for through the entire process. I can't speak highly enough of the entire office. Excellent care, very friendly, very professional, and very responsive to all my needs.
