Jul-2024
Very nice. Explained what certain symptoms were cause by and different ways to address them. Answered questions thoroughly.
Jun-2024
Very efficient! We had to wait awhile to see him bc someone had come in that had an accident. Just our bad luck. Nevertheless, he explained everything proficiently and even though he spoke really fast (which I suspect is his nature), I didn't feel rushed at the appointment. He answered all my questions. He is a shoulder expert so I would definitely recommend him for that part of the body. He may treat orthopedic conditions as well, but I was referred to him for my shoulder.

Dr. Gannon is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. He replaced my right socket and ball joint, which during recovery I had very little pain or discomfort. I reached out to Dr. Gannon twice during my recovery and he proved that he would make every effort to be available to address concerns. Dr. Gannon is very personable and genuinely concerned regarding his patients. I very highly recommend Dr. Gannon concerning Orthopedic concerns, and if necessary, I recommend him for Orthopedic surgery.

Best ortho guy on the planet!
May-2024
Dr Gannon is very sweet but, like his colleagues is not willing to go out on a limb for his patients. Way too afraid of what they consider risky surgery. They don’t care if patients suffer from pain. They are afraid of getting dinged for something if surgery goes wrong
May-2024
He listened, explained the problem of the knee with patience and suggested the remedy. He looks very knowledgeable. We like the Doctor very much and give him 100 out of 10.

Dr. Gannon is an exceptional human being, Dr., and surgeon! He is genuinely kind and caring, and makes sure that you the patient know everything you need to know about your care, surgeries, etc.!

Very thorough exams and explanations. Very patient with me as I have difficulty hearing mid range speech, especially when we are wearing masks. I forget how much I rely on being able to lip read. Next time I’ll wear my hearing aids.

Dr. Gannon is a kind incredible human. He took amazing care of my son. Appointments are not rushed. He takes the time to listen and actually 'hears' you. A quality that is paramount when helping someone heal. I have recommended him to several people and ensured I was able to have him on my care team when a workplace accident landed me in his office.
Nov-2023
caring, thorough, and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns
Oct-2023
Answered every question thoughtfully and thoroughly.
Oct-2023
Dr. Gannon gave me a clear explanation of my knee problem and suggested what next steps would make sense. I was a little puzzled by his question to me of why I was seeing him instead of Dr. Haeder, who saw me at my first appointment. He asked if I was seeking a second opinion. I told him no, this appointment with him to follow up on the MRI scan that Dr. Haeder requested was made by his staff, not due to a request from me. I had wondered why this switch in doctors was made but told Dr. Gannon it wasn't a problem for me since I felt that all the doctors in the Proliance clinic were good.
Oct-2023
Very professional
Oct-2023
Thank you for your patient explanation of the condition of my knee.
Oct-2023
Great guy
Oct-2023
Waited for an hour I had to reschedule
Sep-2023
He was nice enough, but feel I was a bit dismissed in the symptoms I have been having and didn’t have an opportunity to discuss the big picture of what’s been going on with me. I’m in excruciating pain and sometimes unable to use my leg, but was told that I should basically be fine with PT and stretching, which I’ve been doing for quite some time already. When I said my pain can be up to a 9, he all but told me that only people needing hip replacements have that level of pain. I have physical symptoms he didn’t even listen to or go over. I was once again sent on my way.
Sep-2023
Dr Gannon is the most gentle man. Has been there for me for years. Excellent doc!

May-2023
I appreciated his concern and attention to detail around cortisone injection, he worked really hard to get the info needed from previous doctor to expedite injection before travel. My only reason I gave 4, not 5 starts, is because I had to wait nearly 2 hours to see him! He did apologize, but geez, that's a lot of wasted time for me!

Apr-2022
I was an hour and a half past my appointment time before I was seen but I give credit to Dr. Gannon for not short changing his patients just because he’s running late. That snowballs and isn’t his fault. Not once did I feel hurried so he could get to his next patient

Dr Gannon is an excellent physician and surgeon. Maybe the most personable physicians I have ever met!
Jan-2022
Yesterday was my first ever meeting with Dr.Gannon. He was everything and more that a doctor should be with their patients. He showed care and concern for my situation, as well as being thorough and concise with my exam.
My only wish is that other doctors were able to put new patients minds to ease as well as Dr. Gannon did for me. He was the utmost professional yet extremely personable. I never look forward to ever needing to see a new doctor, but my experience with DR. Gannon made those thoughts disappear.
Jan-2022
Great Doctor, excellent patient care. He always made me feel important, no matter how busy he was. Thank you for everything Dr. Gannon
Jan-2022
I was called at home to come to the office, I am a PeaceHealth RN and recently fractured my ankle and was recommended to Pacific Rim,, I signed in and waited and after 40 minutes a women comes out and says the Dr says t go to the ER we don't have the ability to handle covid(I had been honest and let the receptionist(when I was home, before I came into B'ham from Everson)) that my husband had been exposed) I had been Covid swabbed. She continued to tell me in front of the other waiting pts the same thing, I could not stay and they could not deal with this!! Being an RN at St Joe's I was offended, appalled and shocked at this kind of treatment of someone obviously in need who was called in to their office to literally be kicked out on crutches and in tears! What kind of a medical office is this?!

Very kind, probably knowledgeable (short visit). I’d definitely go back if needed
Dr Gannon is so helpful and reassuring. I appreciate his expertise and caring manner.
My wait from check in until I saw the doctor was 1 hr and 30mins.
Very nice. Explained what certain symptoms were cause by and different ways to address them. Answered questions thoroughly.
Very efficient! We had to wait awhile to see him bc someone had come in that had an accident. Just our bad luck. Nevertheless, he explained everything proficiently and even though he spoke really fast (which I suspect is his nature), I didn't feel rushed at the appointment. He answered all my questions. He is a shoulder expert so I would definitely recommend him for that part of the body. He may treat orthopedic conditions as well, but I was referred to him for my shoulder.
Very personal, understanding, and tentative. All around great experience. I felt like I was important.
He listens and cares about me.
very good doctor
Very professional
