Jan 2024No
Verified patient
Jan 2024I know Dr Gay is smart but I get little eye contact from him. For the second visit in a row, he did not answer my questions. No response whatsoever. He is so busy typing, even when I'm not talking, so I do not even sure what he's typing about. I would actually change doctors but know that's not ethical within a practice and I want to stay with Novant. I highly recommend that this practice offers informational handouts related to the various diseases they treat. I'm having to learn about my disease from WebMD, and feel like I need to be learning it from Dr Gay.

Sep 2023This is the 2nd time I have seen Dr. Gay so he doesn’t know me that well yet. His exam was thorough but he is very dry in his delivery of care. Not chatty just straight forward, no small talk. I hope he can loosen up a bit so he can begin to have a more personal relationship with his patients. The office staff is great.

Verified patient
Sep 2023The nurses were great, the lab was amazing. But the doctor sincerely needs some more training or a different career. I've left a Google review on my feelings and my experience. I'm not willing to take the time to type them in here as well. I will never come back to this place and I wouldn't recommend any one else to either. I left in tears, confused, and defeated.

Verified patient
Aug 2023Dr Gay has been my rheumatologist for quite a few years. I’ve always liked him and he answers my questions. When he moved his office to Winston Salem, I followed him there. Dr Gay and his staff have always been courteous and easy to talk to. I live in Archdale, south of High Point and I don’t mind making the drive to Winston Salem at all. I’d give him and his staff a “10” without any hesitation.
Verified patient
Aug 2023I been going to Dr. Gay along time. I like him and trust him with my health. Great staff there also
