I was happy with my visit overall. The staff was very friendly and professional. The Dr. was prompt, not in a hurry, and I felt like he listened and understood my problem. My concerns were addressed and they made sure I understood next steps. I feel I am on the road to being pain free again.

February 14, 2023Gerald S.Verified patient
His bedside matter is horrible. When my husband explained his situation, he would side track and ask a different question. Would not recommend to no one!!! Maria, the front desk receptionist, is the most kind and understandable person you'll ever meet. Hope Dr. Terry doesn't ruin her with his bitterness!!

April 27, 2022Iva K.Verified patient
Very Friendly & professional My wait time was longer because there alot of clients ahead of me.
The Receptionist made my next appt at a different time that would let me see Dr Gemas in a shorter waiting period. Maria was caring & observant. A rare quality in professionals these days. Best Doctor visit in 21 yrs. Dr Gemas listened to my issue and responded approprately and very gentle with my hurting knee. Its ovious how he's got so many clients.
Personally, I'm not a fan of seeing any kind of Doctor, but Dr, Terry Gemas was quite the exception to the rule. A 10+ in all areas, receptionist, and nurses included too. Great team!

he is a good dr. he didnt seem all that concerned with my pain, it was quite severe. I felt a little brushed off. same dr told me i might need knee replacement surgery, but didnt seem to remember. But he is really good.

Very thorough doctor with patience to explain everything, and what I loved most about him was that his goal to approach my pain as minimally invasive first and work up to last measures.
