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.

Gracious, talented, trustworthy, efficient

My experience with Dr. Gail Cansler
I was referred to Dr. Cansler by a friend. The moment I met her I felt at home. She was caring, professional, attentive and she's a really good listener. I took my mom to meet her, and my mom felt at easy after the meeting. If my mom trusts you, that's all I need. Before the surgery Dr. Cansler came to give me some words of comfort and reassurance. After surgery, she was the first face I saw. That was amazing because she is really busy and had a long day ahead of her so that attention and care was huge for me. It's been 5yrs and I've never felt better in my life. I can't wait to change my insurance so she can be my doctor again. I would recommend Dr. Gail Cansler to the moon and back. If you are unsure of the care you will receive, take a family member or a friend to meet her. She is open to that because she wants you (the patient) to feel assured and comfortable

I do not recommend Gail Gansler as an OB/GYN. I originally chose her based on the other reviews but my experience was the complete opposite. Before she even entered the room, I heard her SIGH very loudly. Mind you I don't know this woman, I'm a new patient. I found it extremely rude, like I understand people can have a bad day but I've worked in customer service before and can't imagine doing that as I'm approaching someone. It's very unprofessional. Also, as I was expressing my health concerns she talked over me and I felt like I couldn't complete my sentence. The worst part is she had the AUDACITY to put her hands on me without asking my permission and explaining what she was checking for. I was not at the exam table, simply seating in my seat. I remember her pulling my mask from my face and pulling out my blouse to look down my shirt. I was confused when she reached for my mask, and started touching me. She also overcharges, and orders unnecessary tests.

I had fibroids removed on a Tuesday. Dr. Cansler was going to release me on Thursday. I was adamant that something was wrong & I had headache that wouldn’t go away; despite, the medication that given to me. After talking with my aunt who knew I never had headaches urged me ask to have my blood drawn. They discovered my blood count was 4 & I needed 2 pints of blood. Dr. Cansler said she had it checked. She thought the lab recorded wrong. She never asked to check again. I had to request it.
