My first time to see Dr. Gimre after someone I know really liked his care. I was so impressed. He was caring, really listened to me and my history. Checked my records against his advice to make sure it worked for me. He gave me options and asked how I felt about them. I have had a few issues for many years and seen several other doctors and really gave up on my care because nobody would really listen. I have been living with undiagnosed pain which at times keeps me down. With Dr. Gimre, I feel like I finally got answers and he gave me a real plan to begin to deal with my issues and heal. Hoping it gets better from here.
