My experience today with Dr Gorges was exceptional! He is the kindest and most caring doctor that I have ever had. He went over all my test results and explained each of them. He asked questions, listened to my answers and together we got a plan to improve my health. I felt true concern and care from him. Which, has not always been my experience in the past with other practitioners. I wish there was a higher rating that was available to give him!
