I chose this doctor because of the great reviews but was very disappointed on my first appointment. I received multiple appt confirmation texts and emails beforehand, all of which I replied and said "yes" to. But when I show up to the place, which is over an hour away from my house, the receptionist tells me he is out sick today and claimed she called me about it multiple times - the only phone calls I got were about appt confirmation, NOTHING about him calling out sick.
This receptionist then tells me I could be put on a waiting list for an appt 2 months away. She had no empathetic emotion and didn't apologize. Based on the other reviews I imagine this doctor is fine, but whatever happened today was confusing and unprofessional in my opinion, so other people should be aware. I have never had an issue like this before with other doctors.

Hands down the the absolute BEST Dr. In the world! He has saved my life in so many ways, but when I see him he Is the best spirited person I have ever had in a Doctor. He has saved my life every visit I see him! I thought he was a phychiatrist, but was astounded the he was not, because of the talks of how to make it through with his caringness of my feelings and the mental health talks were better than ANY other phychiatrist. I Love you Dr. Gerry!

This seems to be the ONLY Doctor who my Son helps and not by writing a bunch of drugs but by listening and trying to understand his needs. Anyone with a child over 18 or under should go to this man!
