Absolutely one of the best doctors I have experienced. Surgery is never fun but Dr. Gay is so thorough, compassionate and skilled. I had a few things going on and am a bit of a complicated patient. Dr. Gay was very kind and really spent time with me going over things in detail. He got me fixed up and my recovery was great. Good Doctor makes for great recovery. Thank you Dr. Gay for just being awesome. 🤩

Very qualified and competent surgeon. Communicated well. And FYI he's a nice guy. I met face to face with him every time, not an assistant. I recommend him highly.

Out of nowhere I developed a mass in my neck with unknown diagnosis due to how deep under the muscle of my neck/shoulders it was, we couldn't biopsy ahead of time to see what we were dealing with. Dr. Gay was referred and he was great. He put me and my husband at ease about the process, the ease of it due to his experience and expertise and was able to get me in for surgery in under a month which was a relief as I was nervous about the unknown as it could have been a lump of fat to a malignant tumor. Dr. Gay made the process easy and left a minimal scar. Thankfully it was not worst case scenario and followup was easy. He checked in with lab results 3 days later and answered all questions. I highly recommend him to anyone
