Carl Gessner's Online Review Report Card

Visited he several times for endoscopy and colonoscopy plus diagnostic work. Very caring about his patients. Makes you feel like you are part of his family.

Dr. Gessner is a physician who, in addition to ordering needed medical tests, he really listens to his patients. I needed to have a particular scan that wasn’t available in Greensboro for a couple of weeks, and he and his staff spent lots of time locating this particular scanner in a close town so that I would not have to wait. He spends time with his patients and shows genuine concern and care. I highly recommend him. His medical staff are also very caring!

He took great care of me and made me feel at ease!

Great procedure! Dr. Gressner and his staff were friendly and caring ! Five stars all around !

I saw Dr. Gessner a few times over the course of several years. At first, I thought he was wonderful, caring, took time, etc. I don't know if he just developed a God-complex over time or what but a couple of years ago I started experiencing weird, multi-system symptoms, primarily digestive. Naturally, I went back to him.He ran a few tests and was repeatedly dismissive about my concerns, patronizingly saying it was probably just anxiety, as I "have a history of that" (I don't). When I requested further testing, he actually had the kahunas to say, "it's not like you're dying or anything." What an insensitive, arrogant thing to say!A few short months later, I was in Duke Hospital for a month indeed fighting for my life, and no, it wasn't from anxiety. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to Dr. Gessner!

Seems very nice first meeting but as you get to know him you learn he is very controlling, insensitive, and arrogant.
