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.

Surgery
I am very pleased with my surgery by Dr. Gay. The surgery was performed at the Flagler Surgery Center. The staff at the center did outstanding job making me very comfortable before and after surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Gay and Flagler Surgery Center.

Never saw him
Terrible experience. Now Dr. Gay is trying to charge me for making an appointment. I went to Dr. Gay's appointment and Dr. Gay would not see me without a mask. I obviously got the referral to see Dr. Gay which I did not have to wear a mask for. Do not use this Dr. He only wants $$.

Initial appointment with Dr. Gay based upon PCP recommendation and preliminary diagnosis. He's a very nice person, has a great nurse assistant and spend the appropriate amount of time with me. Gave me a quick exam, ordered some tests as expected (MRI) and scheduled follow up visit all at the time I was there. Very efficient. Can't speak much further at this point. Pleased with my decision to see him.

I am writing this review a couple of years after I was a patient of Dr. Gay. Luckily I do not require his services for myself at this point. I am revisiting this satisfaction survey and writing this review now because I am in need of an Orthopedic surgeon to address my son's sporting injury. That should answer whether I would recommend Dr Gay to others. He is who I would go to if need be, and who I trust with my son's care.
