5.0 star star star star starHe’s the best! Friendly, knowledgeable, caring, experienced, trusted, gives good advice, explains things so easily understood. All reasons for why he’s been my doctor for more than 10 years, and why I have referred him to all least 25 people over all the years I’ve been seeing him.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Gimre is the smartest, most knowledgable, and best listener and communicator that I have ever known, hands down. Over the decades, in addition to the average practitioners, I have known some very good and truly excellent doctors, dentists, PA's and PT's. The best of these people leave me feeling healthier and feeling better about my life in general - and not just the specific health issue. Dr. Gimre is at this highest level in technical knowledge, empathy, and exceptional listening and communication skills, and also treating me extraordinary courtesy and respect. I have the highest confidence in his medical knowledge and diagnoses.

5.0 star star star star starI think he does a thorough exam and does a good job explaining things. He only recommends treatment that he thinks will work. He doesn’t recommend something unnecessarily just to get more money.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Gimre is thorough and explains all options available in terms you can understand. He will make a recommendation and tell you why he prefers a certain procedure or medication. He is patient and kind. He truly cares about his patients and gives you the time you need to explain your problem. I never feel rushed or like I'm being brushed off. I have recommended Dr Gimre to my daughter and she has seen him also. Dr. Gimres' assistant, Jeff, was great! He is friendly and efficient. I only waited about 3 minutes and was called back to the room. Everything moved along quickly. I had to wait for a short time for Jeff to return. He checked in with me to apologize for the delay (there was barely a delay) and that he would be in shortly.

5.0 star star star star starI have seen Dr. Gimre before for the injections as well as other people when he wasn’t available and although they were professional and courteous and did their job I always had pain they hurt me. Dr. Gimre is paying for the injections he takes his time when I have concerns about other issues with orthopedic problems I can ask him things he answers me. Dr. Gimme is my hero
