Not only is he an excellent surgeon, his care, compassion and beside manner is amazing. He really sets the standard for excellence in medicine, and I wish all physicians would follow his lead.
Excellent listener, kind mannerisms, focuses on the medical concerns from the patient!
Dr. Gove was fantastic in answering all of our questions, explaining options, going over the upcoming procedure and very attentive to our son and engaging with him during the decision making process.
I felt comfortable and and confident with Dr Gove as my medical physician. I will continue to see him with any future orthopedic conditions. I would refer him to others as well
Excellent clinician. Great bedside manner and very compassionate.
Great experience. Feeling better!
Dr Gove shut down with me and thoroughly explained what was happening and what was causing my issue. He was truly a breath of fresh air because unlike most surgeons he did not try to push surgery on me. He told me all the other options I had and with much confidence he took care of my problem without any Surgical procedures and I am so grateful to him and I’m doing much better after just one visit and I’m hoping that I won’t have to see him again for a while and I mean that in a good way but when I do see him again, I know that he will only give me options that are appropriate unnecessary, therefore I would like to thank him and his staff thank you🤩
Very caring and polite physician. Would recommend Dr Gove to anyone.
I think Dr Gove is awesome. I don’t feel like he is rushing in and out and I don’t have a long wait.
Kind, focused, knowledgeable about my specific hand condition. Gave me a prognosis and a plan for how I can long-term use my hand and what treatment modalities can be used to to help me stay pain-free. Excellent doctor!!!
