Felt like I was at a McDonalds drive thru where the clock to serve the customer started the minute he came in the room. Never looked at my knee or leg, just the xrays. Immediately went to talking surgery and letting me know he was a surgeon. Gave me a shot of cortisone with no information on how long it would last, etc. After I got to my car, I called and got the information I needed.
I will not come back to see him. Tge whole experience was similar to being one of the cows in a herd that being shipped to the different chutes. Horrible.

Upon receiving his MD, he was commissioned in the US Navy and completed an Internship in General Surgery. Serving on the USS Nassau (LHA-4) for Caribbean, Mediterranean and Middle East deployments, Dr. Gibson received personal awards including the Navy Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal and various unit commendations.
