John Gage's Online Review Report Card

Dr Gage is the greatest Dr I have ever known! He did a couple of surgeries on me and they were excellent ! Thank you so much for your time and efforts!

I had a life saving surgery by Dr Gage three years ago, I was transfered from another hospital here in fl to him, since he was familiar with my case he knew the other hospital made serious flaws and took me to the er the next day possibly saving my life. I have grown very fond of this man and his staff and would and have recommmended him to many other people. He is a delight and has a sense of humor that is not for everyone but he knows his stuff and i trust him with my life again if it came to it.

This doctor (loose terminology) spent less that 2 minutes with me. I have had chronic severe neck pain for 11 months now and was referred to him. I have developed recently (2 months ago) a hard knot on my neck that has not changed (thankfully). When he came into the room he left the door open and asked what was the problem. I proceeded to attempt to describe this to him in detail but was abruptly cut off when he touched my neck lightly and said "I don't feel anything". I kindly explained that this was not where it was a little higher and well beneath the muscle and skin. He reluctantly found it and exclaimed, "that...thats a muscle spasm! I proceeded then to tell him that my pain has been gradually increasing and now I am suffering from headaches and blurred vision. "Well thats certainly not the cause of it." He prescribed x-rays and a ultrasound. I then explained I had 3 separate sets of x-rays already. "Well, where are they?" I tried to explain my situation, including the fact I am sleeping less that 2 hours at a time at night now (even with 100mg of trazadone) and this did not elicit any sort of marked response from him. I am to say the least, at a loss for words, as I had to drive an hour and take sick leave from my work to see this "doctor" for 2 minutes of his time. Live and learn!

My mother spoke with the doctor regarding some side effects that she was having post surgery that were really bothering her and he LAUGHED at her. He best just be glad I wasnt there. What a JERK!!!!!!!!

Dr. Gage was and has been very knowledgeable of the Whipple procedure he performed on my wife. He was very informative at all times and took the time needed to accomplish this. His head nurse and staff has been very helpful when contacted. I would use him for any surgery. He worked good with the team to handle my wife's problem.

This doctor is the worst doctor I have ever had. He has a rotten bedside manner, and he looks and talks like walking death! He sucks the life out of the room when he enters. He waited & delayed to perform routine surgery on my spouse due to a personal conflict with another doctor, and when he finally relunctantly performed the surgery, his first words out of the OR were "I doubt that got it...that couldn't have been it"! He & his staff are like walking zombies - no smiles, no personality, & he sounds like Krusty the Clown. In my opinion, I would rather die on the side of the road than have him work on me! Just my opinion. He may know his subject, but his manner, personality and treatment of his patients is less than stellar. There are plenty of other doctors who actually spend time explaining their methods and thoughts to their patients and have good interaction with their patients. Don't settle when you deserve better care & a doctor that has concern for you!
