Dr. Gabbard is an OUTSTANDING Physician. He provided me with truly excellent care. Dr. Gabbard promotes the excellence in health care that you hope to find in a World Class Academic Hospital as Cleveland Clinic. He is so very kind, very caring, very easy to talk to AND HE LISTENED to what I had to say. I feel that he really wanted to help me and he did. My first appointment was on a Monday and we traveled over 6 hours one way because we had heard that he was excellent In his field. Even though he was very busy and I was NOT scheduled prior to my office visit for his extra testing, I could truly feel that Dr. Gabbard wanted to help me and he arranged his schedule for me to have ALL of my testing that very same week even with his busy schedule. He explained everything to me In great detail every step of the way. I felt so very Informed. He constantly keeps you Informed of the results of your testing so quickly. He wants you to be Informed and he educates you where you really understand what Is going to happen In each part of your testing and care. I had so much trust In Dr. Gabbard that I felt so much comfort being In his care and that is so very Important. All of his Staff are so kind when you call and In person. I had some anxiety before beginning a procedure and his Nurse, Markeeta, who administered the testing, was excellent. Her compassion, kindness and personality made me feel so calm throughout the entire testing. Even after arriving home, Dr. Gabbard checked on how I was doing after my procedure through my health portal. I replied back to him and he took the time to write back to me. I highly recommend Dr. Gabbard. I am so blessed that I found him.
