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.

Very caring
Dr Gibson took the time to make sure we understood the process and had the knowledge we needed to make an informed decision.

Exceptional office staff, convenient location, and a great Dr! This was my first visit and I could not have been more pleased with Dr. Gibson. He took his time to help calm my fears and reassure me. He answered all of my questions, offered options and rendered his professional opinion. He is very confident, yet not at all arrogant. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gibson and have recommended him to many others.

Dr Gibson saved my life. I was within 24 hours of sepsis from an inverted ascending colon & Dr Gibson said I had the most distended stomach he had ever seen. Emergency it was but Dr Gibson knew exactly what to do to fix me then. Now I am ready for Ventral Hernia repair.

Dr. Gibson is charismatic and seems trustworthy upon initial visits and pre-surgery, however once surgery is complete and you are still having chronic pain he can’t be bothered by you and looks at you as if you’re crazy, as if the surgery he talked you into has nothing to do with it. Dr. Gibson talked me into a hernia mesh repair that has caused chronic pain and discomfort. Now I am exploring options that won’t cover up the pain (the only options he suggested), which may be removing the mesh.

Saw him and he did not feel surgery was needed. Saw urologist who said surgical repair was needed to resolve the problem. He recommended another surgeon in the group. Dr Gibson would not permit the office to schedule us with the other surgeon. Patient care is obviously not his priority - but his ego sure is!!!

I have been treated by Dr. Gibson on two separate occasions for inguinal hernia repairs. The two surgeries were two years apart. In both instances he proved to be very knowledge, exceptionally skilled, willing to answer any/all of my questions, a great bedside manner and thoroughly explained all of the options, treatment plan, and recovery I should expect, etc. I would very highly recommend him and the staff at Premiere for any surgical procedure which you might require.

Dr. Gibson behaves as a true physician should, definitely takes time to listen any concern the patient may have, explains, he is fast at taking a history and decisions, evidently knowledgeable and skilled, excellent bedside manners, truthful, good person, he talks with the patient not with he laptop, has all ingredients that makes him a great MD. Makes honor to his profession and he should be commended. Students and other providers should shadow him, if one would take a video for USMLE purposes

Dr. Gibson is a skilled surgeon with excellent bedside manner. He answered my questions, did not waste my time (no hour long visits just waiting), and spoke clearly and precisely. My recovery time was almost zero and I did not suffer from even the most usual side effects post surgery.

Dr. Gibson is absolutely wonderful. When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer the firs time, it is all new territory for her. I was stunned, in shock and had no idea what to expect. Dr. Gibson took all the time necessary to explain the diagnosis and what he was planning to do. You feel like you are his only patient. He and all the other members of his team are genuinely caring and concerned as well as all the other members of his team. I think he is amazing.

I am so very thankful that Dr Gibson was brought into my life. Just about a year ago I had to have emergency life saving surgery due to a perforation in my intestine (sepsis, several set backs, temporary colostomy bag, subsequent reversal surgery). Dr Gibson was our angel - he was simply amazing - direct, competent, empathetic and we trusted him completely with my care. To this day I’m not sure he realizes the phenomenal role he played for our family - we are huge fans & forever grateful!

I would recommend Dr. Gibson as a wonderful general surgeon. I saw him in his office for gallbladder issues. After testing we discovered I had a bad gallbladder and surgical attention was needed. He explained the procedure entirely to me and answered all questions that I had about the recovery process as well. I had my surgery on Thursday and was back to work the following week. He has a wonderful bedside manner and I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Gibson for your general surgery needs.

Very good Doctor and surgeon. He did emergency surgery to remove my appendix about 5-6 years ago on Memorial Day. I knew the moment i met him he was special and i knew one day i would use him again. Well my gallbladder gave out and he was the first Doctor i thought of contacting. Glad i did. I would highly recommend Dr. Gibson. His bed side manner is right down my alley. He's always up front with me and i just like that kind of Doctor. T.P.
