I've been going here for several years now, ever since Dr. Dandalides saved my life by convincing my paranoid former-self, a desperately-ill and equally-petrified woman who was loath to trust anyone in a white coat, to let him try treat my severe disease. I've never met a better doctor before or since and I love the GATGI staff - the nurses are so nice, especially the lady who does my blood draws every few months: she's absolutely lovely. These are the sort of people that make having a chronic illness bearable. I've had billing issues handled quickly and easily whenever I call. The doctor always gets back to me on health questions, especially those I submit through the portal, which not every doctor does. I even have had run of the mill IT problems with the patient portal, phone system, etc, handled effectively when I've brought it up to the staff.

It's such a busy place and I've been seen everywhere from on-time/early to an hour behind schedule, but it's well worth the wait if there is one, because Dr. D takes his time to really understand you and thoroughly handle your problems, even things that aren't directly specialty-related. He's performed my procedures flawlessly and always takes the time to listen and answer my questions afterwards, patiently explaining things I don't understand well despite his tight schedule. I would trust my health in his hands any time, and his PA, Ms. Carter, whom I've seen a couple of times, is quite a decent practitioner as well.
