Dr Gay is an excellent physician, I have been seeing him for about 25 years for my rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. He's very good at treating what is going on with me and making excellent decisions to improve my health. He's extremely thorough in his assessment and includes my opinion in his treatment plan. He's kind, thoughtful and considerate. I only wish all of my physicians were this way!!

Dr. Gay showed great compassion and empathy when I informed him of a new diagnosis I had recently received.
