Dr. Gimbel mainly monitors my medication though we converse enough that I would regard our interaction at therapeutic. He is an affable physician, young but earnest about problem solving and caring about his patients. He doesn't exhibit pretense and attempts to research things he is not certain about. Most importantly he involves his patients in all decision making and is willing to consider trials of safe alternative pharmaceuticals and doses.

Would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Unprofessional, inexperienced and overall unpleasant interactions with him.

The Best. I have had an exceptional experience with Dr. Gimble. I have dealt with a number of Psychiatrists in the past that have simply been there to fill and prescribe medication. They didn't take the time to understand what my issues were and what was weighing me down. Dr. Gimble has been a welcome change. He thoughtfully probes and listens. His suggestions, diagnosis, and treatment have been spot on. Great personality. Really nice guy and has had a very positive impact on my life!
