Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Brian Gastman
Dr. Brian Gastman performed inner, upper posterior mouth surgery on me and left me with visible mouth nerve damage. The center of my lip is on the far second tooth. It was difficult to get him to see me post-op. He discredited my complaint and would not give me validation. People ask me how I got facial nerve damage. Dr, Gastman told me my mouth looks great and compared my outcome to his worse cancer patients. I felt belittled for questioning him. He spent most of the office visit telling me how great he is and how many cancer patients he has saved. I did not have cancer. It seems his ego is in the way of his patient care.

Dr.Gastman performed a parotidectomy on me in November of 2015. He did a phenomenal job and called me at home in NC post surgery. My stitches were done seemlessly, and I healed very quickly. I highly recommend him!

Poor communication from him & his office, saw him over a 5 month time frame and he did NOTHING for my open & down to the skull scalp wound. Postponed & manipulated my discussed procedure to fit his needs, not mine. I'm glad that I did not let him do my procedure, being it was a lengthy surgery, I needed to feel reassured and comfortable, didn't get that here!

Very disappointed in Akron, OH – Nov 09, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gastman?
Dr. Brian Gastman did a total Lymphadenectomy in my left shoulder. After removing the drain tube a month after, I heard nothing from him. When I sent a MyChart message to him, he did not answer just one of his residence. All I got was a sorry your hurting so bad call and make an appointment. after waiting on hold with CCF scheduling for 45 minutes I hung up and asked Ms. Toal if they could see me on a certain day that I was going to be at CCF. No reply. I have a lot pain. Not a good Doctor.

Dr. Gastman did my rhinoplasy six months ago. I'm aware that results change drastically even a year or two after surgery, but I can already see that I will not get the results we discussed (this has been confirmed by one of his colleagues at CC). I also had a serious complication during recovery which was ignored. His assistant is very rude. He's unconcerned, too busy, and distracted. Another surgeon will have to fix everything that went wrong under Dr. Gastman's care.

Dealing with Dr. Gastman, his staff, and The Cleveland Clinic has been a nightmare. I highly suggest going elsewhere.

He treated me for Melanoma in 2012. It was scary and overwhelming to say the least, and while his bedside manner wasn't very warm, he and his staff took great care of me from the first visit, to the surgery and the post op care.
