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.

One of the good guys!
Dr Gorman really takes his time with both my wife and me, and works hard to resolve even our smallest issues. I’m pretty sure he does not double book appointments, because he’s always on time…which I appreciate so much. He always asks us to think through our bodies and simply let him know any problems, no matter how small. So happy we found him about 5 years ago…he’s one of the good guys!

The attention, care and standards of Dr. Gorman and his exemplary staff were of the highest distinction. They put the "care" back into Health Care. Much respect.

Have had Dr Gorman as my GP for 18 years, and is unquestionably the best that I have ever had. He's both a fabulous listener and problem solver on treatments as well as having such an outgoing personality.

I had my first visit with Dr Gorman today and I was very impressed. He was genuinely interested in my health and well being. He checked my paperwork and answered many questions that I have had about my health. He explained medical and-health problems and helped clarify many issues that have concerned me for a long time. I feel confident that he will work to give me the best medical care possible.

Dr. Gorman is an exceptional doctor. He is thorough in his physical examinations. My husband and I were very pleased and are so happy to have Dr. Gorman as our internal medicine doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and takes time to explain all of your lab results with you. We highly recommend Dr. Gorman.

I am a five-year patient of Dr. Gorman and recently had my annual physical, and as always received excellent care and service from the doctor and his staff. Dr Gorman is cautious about unnecessary or extreme treatment, yet advises treatment, procedure or specialist review for important health concerns.

Yes....absolutely. Dr. Gorman and his staff stayed in the office for my care, even tho, the computers and phones were shut down due to a glitch beyond their control. Dr. Gorman took his time with me, explaining clearly, yet in a very personable way, what was going on with me. Professional, yet, homey and friendly.

Dr. Gorman is an outstanding doctor who has gone the extra mile for my wife and I on several occasions. We’ve used his Concierge service and I’ve called him at least three times in the middle of the night. He was patient and professional and he always answered my calls. He also has a good sense of humor.

I would never recommend this doctor. I had a sore shoulder and i called his office asking what i should do thinking i would speak with the doctor. The person at the front desk told me to put an ice pack on it. Since when does a person at the front desk that is not a medical professional dispense medical treatment? It turned out I was diagnosed by a real professional doctor as having tendonitis.
