Dr. Gomes was exceptional. He took the time to listen to my concerns and questions and provided information of potential diagnosis that I have never known before but was cautious about drawing a definite conclusion and recommended further testing which I'm scheduled for. On a 1-10 scale I rate Dr. Gomes a 10.

He was very understanding and compassionate! He made us feel comfortable. When we ask questions he didn't make us feel stupid for asking. He answered every question we had. He explained to us what was going on and things I could do to help. Even though there is nothing he can do to fix my leg he gave more information in one visit then all the other doctors we seen put together. He waited outside for me to get dressed and then walked us out to the waiting area. He gave me his card if we had any more questions.

Dr. Gomes is the best Doctor I have seen. His bedside manner is amazing and truly takes time to explain everything and get your questions answered. I have never had a Doctor this invested in his patients despite how busy he is. He also calls/messages back within hours which I have never experienced before either. It is very difficult going to main campus as it is super busy and parking is a nightmare but the way he treats you will make it worth while.
