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.

It's been more than 10 years we have Dr. Gao as our family physician. He is a knowledgeable, humble, kind and responsible doctor. On different occasions I got my problem resolved in the first visit. I am very happy we have Dr. Gao in this city so I have pleasure knowing him and going to his office. Thank you Dr. Gao.

I find Doctor Goa very helpful. He practices Family medicine he is concern with blood pressure, weight, heart rate, colds and flu and guiding you to the specialist you need when something requires a specialist. When his office is open he is responsive. He has stayed open for me when my family had emergencies and guided us to the right specialist when needed. I have recommended to friends and family and will continue to do so. He takes walk-in patients and those without insurance. Excellent Doc

Doctors are so worried about a lawsuit or board complaint that they forget or do not use good judgment. Assessment, differential diagnostic skills are enhanced by instinct and listening to the patient, in essence, performing a thorough H & P (history & physical). You will not get a thorough history and physical from Dr. GAO. Good luck if your health issue involves research (is not a typical cold or flu).

If you want a one-time snapshot type of care, then Dr. GAO is for you. He spends less than five minutes with you, but your overall wait time is about 1.5 hours regardless of whether you have an appointment. If you have 3 things wrong with you, too bad, Dr. GAO will only address the problem he feels is priority making you reschedule appointments over and over. Do not expect continuity of care.

Physicians should not discontinue vital medications (for diabetes, hypertension, and/or hyperlipidemia) just because you have not been in the office within the last 3 months. This has happened to me on multiple occasions. Routinely, cardiac and other meds should be refilled a minimum of 6 months. Failing to refill a medication, i.e. for hypertension, in my opinion, is malpractice. If you are in the office 4 times a year, you should not have to make another appointment just for a refill.

I ALWAYS feel rushed when I see him. I’ll go in and tell him how I’m feeling and he literally tells me I’m fine. He doesn’t even do a thorough exam, no blood work...nothing. My long time GP moved and I found Dr GAO a year and a half ago. Now I’m forced to find yet another doctor. I still have this health problem that causes great discomfort and feels worse. My husband sees him too and he barely complains about services but he complained about Dr Gao.

My husband and I are used to agreeing, but the respect we have for Dr. Gao is because of Dr. Gao's expertise, good medical care and respect shown to us. We will never look for another doctor...he's perfect.
