Was referred to Dr G by my dermatologist. She is kind, patient and willing to work with other doctors to provide the best treatment for multiple autoimmune issues. I trust her and have referred my mom and daughter to her!

Dr Gospodinoff is “so so” but has a lot to learn to improve with bedside manner. Condescending in an indirect way. Staff at front desk are unprofessional. Try at your own risk!

I went to Dr. G for several years. It seemed as though she really didn't listen to my concerns or symptoms. She is very nice but I don't want nice I want a treatment plan, informative follow ups and new innovative ideas about my illness. I think I was better at my treatment plan than she was so I never went back.

I visited this dr. who misdiagnosed me, never bothered to explain any thing, when I mentioned that I have some questions she left the room abruptly and told me to read the pamphlet as she stood in the hallway! She ordered multiple xrays from neck to feet but her office staff was unable to provide films or report saying that the xray machine had issues and they had nothing available to give me. For months they gave the same excuse and I never rec'd any x-ray films. Very incompetent practice.

I have been a patient for over 11 years. Since the first visit I knew I could trust her to help me with my condition. I give her information to everyone who is looking for a doctor in her field. When I was hospitalized and my family reached out to Dr. G ,she always contacted them back and checked in on my condition. Thank God for her care and compassion for her patients.

I had been looking for answers for four years when I landed in Dr. G's office. By my second appointment I finally knew what was wrong and was able to get on a treatment regimen that has greatly improved my quality of life.

I have been a patient of Dr. G's for five years, and I am not looking for a new practice. Over the past year there has been a huge breakdown in communication and access. I was in the ER, the after hours service refused to take a message multiple times, and it took almost a week to get a call back. I mentioned it to everyone including Dr. G and no one cared.

I have been seeing Dr. G for several years now. I find her to be very knowledgeable and understanding. We have worked thru a number of complicated issues and I feel confident we are on the right track. She always takes the time to explain things and lets me manage my care as I feel comfortable.

The office administration and follow-up for prescriptions is the worst I've ever experienced. I've seen the doctor twice and she has prescribed medication, but I have had to call the office repeatedly in order to get the prescriptions. Something is really wrong in this practice.

Staff is unfriendly and inattentive. I waited over an hour past my appointment to be seen and staff, nurses to Doctor herself was unapologetic about it. I didn't get my results until two days after they were in and only because I called them. The doctors notes stated that certain counts went one direction, so therefore do this. I told the nurse that this was incorrect as my counts had definitely gone the other direction so I need new instructions. Still waiting for them...
