Dr. Duane Gels, MD

i i’ve had several visits. All have been so helpful in determining what I’m allergic to and getting to the root cause . His medical knowledge is very impressive and i cannot wait to start my shots which he will mix for my specific allergies. i also wish to mention that he explains in detail everything and lays out a plan. He spends as much time as you need to understand and he answers all my questions patiently . I hit the lottery when i found him !God Bless you Dr Gels

Dr Gels was extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnose me quickly & explain everything without making me feel like I was asking too much. I would recommend this practice to anybody suffering from allergies or asthma.

the Doctor spent time but seemed marginally interested and was generally unhelpful with my concern and had no useful advice to offer

I had trouble breathing about 9 months prior to my visit with Dr. Gels and after many local tests on the Eastern Shore, I still didn't get other answers to my breathing issue other than to lose weight first. During my first appointment with Dr. Gels and his staff in Centerville, they all were so caring right from the start. When he discovered that I wasn't having allergic reactions to anything but was did have a breathing issue, he quickly explained in full detail what he thought it could possibly be the problem and referred me to a Dr. in Annapolis that could help me quickly and knew more about the issue I was having deep down in my larynx. He was able to set an appointment for me right then and there with the other office, which turned into the doctor refereed to me discovering that I had what is commonly known as subglottic stenosis and I was scheduled an immediate procedure that happened at Anne Arundal Medical and I can now breath again! I owe him my life so thank you!

After leaving my previous allergist who did not ask me any questions and immediately determined my hives had no cause, I was thrilled to find Dr. Gels. He listened to my concerns even though he had somehow been triple booked, calmed my worries by explaining the science to me, and listened to what I had to say. In just one visit, he gave me an order for multiple blood tests - which my last allergist hadn't done even after three visits. It meant so much to me that Dr. Gels listened to my concerns and was willing to take more steps with me. We are still looking for the cause, but I have not yet been back to my second appointment. Hoping for a full resolution soon.

Dr. Gels is great at explaining everything to his patient, and really takes his time to make sure each and every question you have is answered. However, because he does take his time with each patient, he is usually running behind schedule so be prepared to wait.

This Doctor gets it. The staff was super amazing and Dr. Gels does not rush you and takes time to explain everything in detail. Which is essentially important when it comes to locating causes with allergies. He methodically goes thru everything and is adamant about contacting the office with any health changes. Already recommending him to all of my friends and colleagues. I did my research and glad that I found someone with his expertise and knowledge.

Clinicians are helpful and friendly but the logistics of an office visit are terribly SLOW. The patient list appears short, but it’s not a speedy visit. Minimal communication from the front desk, so don’t be shy about confirming that you’ve been checked in and are in the patient queue. You might get lost in the shuffle otherwise. Be prepared to wait, even for what should be a quick visit. We can only hope the wait is due to clinicians spending quality time with patients.

The staff is courteous and nice. Dr. Gels has opened two offices and is spread thin and always harried. In terms of billing and overall communication, there is consistent confusion on shot fees and insurance. The location of the building is also poor with the side doors convenient to the parking lot usually locked. I wish I could switch but I have been coming here for ten years. Just be ready for a lot of confusion and disarray.

A consummate professional and caregiver, attentive and responsive, with practical and pragmatic recommendations for treatment and wellness. A fine example of what we would like all our healthcare providers to represent.

My personal experience with Dr Gels and his staff has been nothing but excellent. Their Centreville office is closer to me, so that's where I go. I have had an addiction to nasal spray for 38 years and just recently, the spray has stopped working and I haven't been able to taste or smell ANYTHING for about 2 months. Dr Gels has made me a project and is determined to get me better. I've been to Dr Gels 3 times so far and as of today, 4-8-16, I can breathe, taste and smell no more nasal spray.

I was able to see Dr. Gels the day after I called and when I saw Dr. Gels, he spent the time needed to assess my situation and recommended a course that drastically improved my situation.
