    Dr. Gumbleton is the best. He is very caring and attentive. He takes the time to explain everything without condescension, and I feel no rush. He is one of my favorite doctors. I wish they all were like him.

    This doctor is an excellent doctor. He knew all the answers to any of the questions that was ask to the best of his ability. He never made me feel like I was a lost cause because of my illness. Very positive for helping me to maintain my positivity. I would recommend him to any one with the same disease that I have.

    Dr. Gumbleton took his time in explaining things to us; if there was anything that wasn't understood, he explained it a second time. He provided hand-written charts to help. He 'prodded' us for any questions that we perhaps hadn't thought of. All with a very professional attitude but so very friendly and kind. This is a difficult position to be in and he made it somewhat less stressful. The way he handled things and worked with us was very much appreciated. He has the extra-special personality that is necessary in the type of work he does. I would recommend Dr. Gumbleton to anyone, anywhere, with absolutely no qualms. I look forward to continuing to deal with him.

    The only shortcoming I experienced was that I had, at times, difficulty understanding some of what he was saying due mostly to my very poor hearing

    Dr Gumbelton listened very well, told me what he was thinking, not holding back, and I had an excellent time with him, and I highly recommend him. I'm glad that I am under his care. I could not be more satisfied than I am now.
