Christian Gussner's Online Review Report Card

Went in because I was referred to Dr. Gussner , waited 55 min to see him for 5 min. And was told there was nothing he could do , nor was there enough wrong with me . I've been in pain , often severe pain depending on movement for quite some time . He didn't take the time to treat or ask about the pain , just asked about what previous doctors had assessed. He acts like his word is absolute , and its a very arrogant kind of bed side manner .

Front office staff are very rude and impatient.

In severe pain. Called on call. He told me to ice it, and walk it off. I have no history of emergency pain calls. This was the first time. Totally heartless

Glaring lack of empathy he has asked if I'm a hypochondriac. I have lupus and have lost a kidney to lupus nephritis. I have had my gall bladder burst and my thyroid and parathyroids removed. I have had melanoma, leukemia, breast cancer, blockage of blood supply to my liver which caused a heart attack. I have a pancreatic divism, stones in my liver, stones in my one remainimng kidney, an abdominal hernia and an aortic aneurysm that keeps increasing in size due to pain driven high blood pressure! Where can u get help?

I can't understand the poor ratings at all. He listened. He actually heard me. I've only had one appointment with him so far but i really liked him. I get the impression that he will try his hardest to get me some pain relief. I hope. One of the best doctors I've seen over my 3 years of dealing with chronic pain. The wait time was long but I was ok with that because when it was my turn he gave me 45 minutes of time.

I'd recommend him in a heart beat!!!!!

I was referred to Dr Gussner for lower back pain. He was pleasant, thorough, very professional and honest about my options and alternatives. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Gussner is personable, patient and seems genuinely interested in my wellbeing. Awhile back, I had a sudden, completely new pain issue and was seen immediately. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

I've seen Dr. Gussner for back pain for many years. Dr. Gussner has treated me himself, and has also referred me to specialists when he feels its in my best interests. Even though my back pain has never fully resolved I have a good life because of the care he has provided.

Absolutely wonderful! He had the added bonus of having to deal with a doctor's office that couldn't even tell him what caused my issue (claimed it was shingles, "lost" the titer and didn't tell us, come to find out it was a brown recluse spider bite), but he was kind and calm the entire time. When I needed the spinal injection, he preformed the procedure and he and his nurses helped keep me calm and joke around a bit. I couldn't say anything better about him or the staff he works with!
