    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.
