May 6, 2024 - I was scheduled for robotic hernia removal. With a previous bariatric surgery, it was a concern because of all the scar tissue The surgery could not be robotically because my colon was so badly twisted that he had to untwist my colon as well repairing the hernia. I am so impressed with Dr. Gay's thoroughness and his focus on all detail He Tells you upfront the truth - no sugar coating. He is easy to talk to, personable and always a smile for you. I highly recommend Dr. Gay

I highly recommend Dr Daniel Gay. I had experienced gallbladder issues for a very long time. Dr Gay diagnosed and we had planned for surgery, but I had a severe gallbladder attack soon after our consultation. Dr Gay went above and beyond to fit me in and perform surgery outside of normal business hours. Thank you kindly, KB
