David Gamburg's Online Review Report Card

The service that i received from Dr. David Gamburg was excellent. The stuff is always helpful and kind. I highly recommed becoming his patient!

Never go see a doctor whose office is inside of a strip mall. What a joke. Dr. David Gamburg came into the examining room (located inside of a slummy, dirty two-room “doctor’s” office that was inside of a cheap, grungy strip mall). He greeted me with a weak handshake. He had this enormous ego, acting as though he was oh-so important, which was laughable… He asked inane questions regarding the medical records I’d already previously emailed to him (that he never bothered to look at after REQUIRING that I send them before our first visit)…. Then he decides to tell me that he doesn’t accept my insurance (after his surly secretary told me twice the week before that they DO accept it). He said that he wanted me to BUY the Botox drug for my migraines up front (for $500) and then told me that it would need to be shipped to me and that I would need to bring it refrigerated into his office, where he would charge me $500 to inject it - while not taking my insurance. Seriously?? He wanted to inject 50 mg over what my first neurologist injected. Wasted a day out of my life and a full tank of gas.

I went to Gamburg with sharp pains in the back of my head. He was very dismissive and talked down to me and said "It's tension headaches". No, I said....I've had tension headaches.....this is not a tension headache. He stood firm on tension headaches and i asked if there were any way possible it could be something else. No he said...I can't help you, lots of people have tension headaches and they don't require pain management. Feeling the need to add insult to his 5 minute diagnosis....possibly thinking i was drug seeking. I went somewhere else where they actually listened to me and did an MRI of my head and found out i have Chiari malformation, a downward displacement of the brain and the brain pushes against the back of the skull....and it's even more painful than it sounds. I've mentioned this to other people who went to him and they all agreed that he was rude, arrogant and dismissive, and really didn't seem to know much about anything. It's bad enough living with chronic pain, and then when you seek help from a 'medical professional' they treat you like dirt. I highly suggest going to someone else.

He was my dr for over 20 years and one day I get a call from secretary he is no longer my dr !!! Good luck

I have been a patient of this doctor for many (15?) years. Dr.Gamburg is the top in his field but the staff under him is less than sub-par. Most of the patients are suffering from work-related injuries and the staff does not follow through on necessary paperwork, calls are not returned and prescriptions are overlooked or ordered inaccurately. Calls from the pharmacist are also ignored. I feel he is spread too thin with multiple locations which exacerbates the difficulties.

I’ve been treated by Dr. Gamburg for over 16 years. The best !!

The staff turn over and office changes are suspicious. The doctor barely examine you and then sends you to another state to wait on a gurney for 6 hours to get and minute procedure. Avoid! Scammy!!

I have had numerous treatments with Dr. Gamburg over the past 5 years. He always listens and explains procedures and options clearly. His manner is concerned and reassuring. On more than one occasion he has fit me into his schedule to accommodate me. The staff in his offices could not be nicer. I depend on him to keep me out of pain and active. I have recommended him to numerous friends and family who all feel the same way.

pompous and arrogant
