Dr. Gish is excellent. He listens to you & develops a plan of recovery with you. He has a calming nature about him which helps create trust in his expertise as a surgeon & relaxes you at the same time. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any type of shoulder surgery.

Dr. Gish is amazing. He’s very knowledgeable and does a great job clinically, but to find a doc with this amount of empathy and concern for patients is extremely difficult. He’s done a few surgeries for me and both went very well. I’m so confident in his abilities, the information he provides pre-surgery, and the post surgical appts. You can’t do better than him!!!!

Dr. Gish is the best, he’s a straight shooter but communicates with understanding and care. His bed side manner is the best I’ve seen, and that’s from my personal experience during multiple surgeries, along with my elderly mother getting a knee replacement. We moved to Ohio for 7 years, and my wife and I would drive 6 hours to come back for multiple appointments with different ailments during that time. Dr. Gish is a phenomenal physician.Patient Submitted Review

From the initial visit I felt very comfortable with Dr Gish. His calm demeanor made you feel at ease.

Dr. Gish is the best! If you ever need a “rebuild” He is absolutely the best. I had a total knee replacement in 2013 when I was 48 years old. And he just fixed my rotator cuff and bicep. I hope he doesn’t retire anytime soon. Who knows what I might need next. Look no further than Dr. Gish.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Gish listened to my concerns, clearly explained my options then partnered with me to make the best decision in regards to a problematic knee problem. The other thing to note is that it was clear Dr Gish had reviewed my chart and was informed of my injury and test results before he entered the exam room. I appreciated his approach and preparation. Combined, these things resulted in a successful consultation and treatment.Patient Submitted Review

I had excellent service and a very good discussion with Dr. Gish and I had my questions answered as well as the x-rays explained well to me. I went in with concerns that we go right to surgery or knee replacement, but instead we did gel therapy and that seems to be working very well. I am very happy with Dr.Gish.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Gish is awesome!! So friendly! Took x-rays to determine what was wrong with my shoulder. After doing some testing on it, determined it was a frozen shoulder and gave me a steroid shot. I feel better already, and I’m so thankful for his attentiveness and incredible skill, even in giving a steroid shot!

Very nice and thorough Surgeon, who did an excellent job on my 83 year old mother's hop replacement. Minimal scar that healed quickly. No complications, my mom is already back to her old self. Everyone involved was wonderful. Shout out to Christine and Troy. My mom's PT, and OT who came to the house to help her regain her strength and help teach me how to wash my mother safely.

Dr. Gish has performed two surgeries on my shoulders. I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Gish' bedside manner is the best I have ever received from a doctor. He is caring and takes time to answer all my questions. My husband was also pleased with how well Dr. Gish explained things to him immediately following the surgeries. I recommend him to anyone who asks about my surgeon. When I was originally having problems several years ago, someone who had Dr. Gish for their surgeon highly recommended him to me. They had only good things to say about him. I am glad I took their recommendation.Read more
