Patient Testimonials

Dr. Gay demonstrated the highest level of professionalism I have ever seen in a surgeon. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable by clearly explaining everything and walking me through my recovery process. I never had any difficulty reaching him or his staff when I had questions or concerns. I am truly grateful that my health was in his care. He treated me with the utmost respect, for which I am very thankful. I would strongly encourage anyone looking for a surgeon to consider Dr. Gay and not hesitate to contact his office.

I had a great experience with Dr. Gay as my general surgeon for my hernia repair. From the initial consultation through surgery and follow-up, everything was explained clearly and I felt very well cared for. The procedure went smoothly, my recovery was exactly what I was told to expect, and the staff was professional and kind. I'm very grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend Dr. Gay to anyone needing general surgery.

Dr. Gay was very open to my needs and desires for my inguinal hernia repair, not wanting mesh and wanting dissolvable sutures. He completely explained to me what he does in that case at the pre-surgery appointment. Then when in the pre-op room and I'd forgotten what he'd told me, he very patiently went over the technique he uses, what he would do and use to effectively repair the hernia. I must say his combining of techniques sounds not only innovative and very intelligent but also will leave me with better longterm results.

My husband had hernia surgery that was in a difficut spot but Dr. Gay went in with his robot and fixed him right up. We appreciate the Dr.'s access to top technology without all of the hoops. It was hard not to get excited about having surgery when the Dr. had a twinkle in his eye and such enthusiasm in his voice while telling us about the procedure! Thank you Dr. Gay! My husband's buddy, Hank the Hernia is back where he belongs.
