I have been a patient of Dr. Phil since he graduated from MSU's medical school and first opened his medical practice. From the start of our physician-patient relationship, Dr. Gaca has gone above and beyond to help me maintain a healthy life style. As I have aged, Dr. Phil has been there to see me through the difficult times with good information and treatments that work for me. If I have a medical issue or medical question, Dr. Gaca responds within a few hours. Dr. Gaca has a real-world sense of humor when it comes to medical advice. I like that he is able to take complex medical concepts and winnow them down into layman's terms of comprehension. Dr. Gaca demonstrates compassion when needed and solid advice during the challenging moments when I really don't need things to be sugar coated. The very fact and he has retained his staff for decades speaks to his professional approach to medicine. He has practiced medicine long enough to have developed a wide array of competent specialists for referral when medical issues dictate that a specialist is required. I unequivocally recommend Dr. Phil to anyone who wants an extremely knowledgeable, caring and available doctor. JHesse PhD
