Finding a doctor when you move into a new community can be a little daunting. First of all, going…read moreto the doctor is something that guys tend to avoid for the most part, and I'm no exception in that category. I wasn't happy with the clinic thing where you go in and get treated by the "Dr. of the Day". I mean those work in a pinch when you need something fairly urgent, etc., but if I'm going to work with someone and partner on my health, I want someone that is going to be "my" doctor on a regular basis, that knows my history, and talks to me like an equal rather than acting all superior. Oh, and when I'm not feeling well, I'm not in a joking mood either, so I don't like doctors that act like comedians. Okay, that may have been sharing too much, but you have to understand why I like Dr. Gahl. He is really intelligent, but doesn't act like he has to prove it to you. He is kind and compassionate, while being prompt and efficient at seeing everyone. He has his own private practice and is not aligned with either of the two major hospitals in the area. While most doctors fall into one camp or the other, he works independently and will work with your medical needs at either hospital, your choice. Dr. Gahl has been "my" doctor for years now and I like him. He treats people with respect and is interested in your life, as well as your well being. Be sure to check out his honey that he bottles from his honey bee hobby. He usually has a few bottles for sale at the front desk as well.

The only drawback is billing. Contacting someone about a bill was a tedious undertaking for me (I had to call a central billing number in Milwaukee - or maybe India, I don't know). Fortunately, if you go directly to the office, they will personally resolve it for you (even though it means that THEY are the ones on hold). Highly recommend.

This physician's attitude is firmly rooted in the 1950s when the physician was considered "God."…read more Shockingly, this doctor came highly recommended by my family. physician, someone for whom I have a great deal of respect. I was offended by his attitude, his rudeness and condescension to my husband and, most importantly, his complete disregard for my rights as a patient. His medical assistant lacked competence in basic skills and completely lacked common sense. His RN had good skills but her attitude and complete disregard for my rights as a patient were unacceptable. Diagnostically, I think he's fine but it's not worth the attitude, rudeness, condescension and lack of respect. I'm still shocked the doctor followed my husband to the parking lot, yelling and spewing verbal abuse.
