Spent last 6 months attending appointments and interacting with hospitalist in my mom’s care. The Doctors we interacted with either complain about the medical system and their inability to make money, check watch as your talking, and shrug shoulders and give flippant answers to questions. They demonstrate the epitome of the medical system’s brokenness. More discussion on what cannot be done vs what can.

I now have MAJOR PROBLEMS AND ISSUES with the nurses, medical assistants, schedulers and administration! I have seen my rheumatologist for over 6 years at other locations, she just started at gessler a year ago maybe! I unfortunately have very poor health problems with my 6 autoimmune disorders, 3 genetic disorders and other gi disorders and had to go north with my snowbird folks last 3 years and it’s never been an issue!! My cousin passed from Covid this month and I had to delay my trip back to fl and reschedule the appointment twice! I had labs on the 12th, follow up on the 13th with more labs

I’ve been with Gessler Clinic for years, and now is the time I part ways. I do realize life happens and many things are out of our control. Yet, I had an appointment set up for nearly 2 months, even took off of work for the appointment. I get a call the morning of saying that I can not be seen because Dr. Jones could not come in. Only offered me another appointment a month out again, absolutely not. Why would I wait another month to possibly be cancelled again? This is bad business regardless of the reason. You’d think I would get a better offer on the next appointment being that I was cancelled

I switched from gessler clinic and have a relative who still attends who is currently looking for a new primary. She has a few underlying conditions and has the hardest time even trying to get an appointment in with Dr Desena when she isn’t feeling good. There has been numerous times the doctor or nurse hasn’t even called her back when they say they will. She recently tried to schedule an appointment and they told her she would be better off going to the ER to get some answers. This has been going on for 4 months now. I do not recommend this place at all and would find a doctor who actually

I had a bill from LabCorp $192.00 from Free T4 blood work done in 09/2020. I have called the insurance it wasn't covered. I have called the clinic they couldn't help me because it wasn't a bill from them. They shouldn't send blood work where our insurances isn't covered. I ended paying today before it goes to my credit report.

Great clinic and excellent, personable docs. Came here for COVID testing and their protocols at the Fever and Cough in-car testing with phone conference was prompt, efficient, thorough and extremely safe... the nurse who came to do our swab was donned in proper infection control attire. As someone in healthcare who has researched this, I appreciate this on so many levels. Excellent job... and I’m not just saying this because I’m happy I tested negative, either!

Last March, I went to Gessler Clinic. Dr. Mendez spent about 5 minutes with me. I did not even get to fill out all of my patient history before she left. I took a plethora of tests and received no explanation or further action to figure out what is going on with me. It's a year later and I'm still suffering with chronic fatigue and nerve pain. To top it off, I missed one follow up appointment and they sent me a $30.00 bill in the mail. It is a crime that they can charge $30.00 for NOTHING. They sent me a bill every month for a full year for this ridiculous fine. Well, you win Gessler

Doctor Jones is good doctor but the clinic itself is horrible. They act as they don't want patients under the age of 18. My daughter was in need of seeing a doctor but because she is under 18 they won't allow her in the walk in clinic so they scheduled a appointment with a nurse practitioner Roxanne Ford for 215 today at 155 they call me and say the nurse practitioner does not see children. Poor management from administration.

Unbelievably ridiculously experiences here. i have been helping my mother manage her healthcare for seven years now without issues, yet we have experienced 3 major issues at gessler in under a month
there is a completely out of control culture here of zero accountability. staff simply behave in any manner that amuses them with impunity.
if you look at the recent reviews, they are all one and two star for the past few years. my advice to you is to heed this and save yourself the aggravation that gessler will give you

This clinic is incredibly and abnormally slow. Some of the receptionists here are very rude too. It's too bad because this clinic could be a great healthcare facility. The doctors are great here, never had a problem with any of them here. The techs and nurses are kind and helpful, but the front end folks could use some lessons in patient service. The rolling of the eyes, deep sighs, and just agitated looks are not comforting or acceptable in a medical setting. I hope Gessler Clinic could make some changes and be more consistent.
