Gabroy, James B MD

Went there for my pre operation tests for knee surgery. I was told by the doctor that he felt my ortho surgeon was wrong and he thought I had gout and rheumatoid arthirits brought on by my smoking and not a torn meniscus as thought by my referring doctor. He sent me for additional bloodwork and all those tests came back negative as he was incorrect in his diagnosis. I had to leave 5-7 message for him to forward the results to my doctor. He never returned phone calls and his office is very rude.

I would not send my worst enemy to see this doctor. He does not appear to know what he is talking about. He also tries to diagnose things outside of his field.

I find Dr. Gabroy to be morally reprehensible. My mother has been battling an illusive illness for months, one with tangible, visible effects. Dr. Gabroy was her Primary Care Physician. We began attempting to get her seen by several specialists. New to the area we didn't know one doctor from another and simply used those doctors listed by her HMO. Little did we know that Dr. Gabroy's office was not only NOT helping her to get seen or comunicating with these other doctor's, he has been actively slowing her progress. Three weeks ago she went to him to ask what is differential diagnosis was because she felt he was not taking her seriously. He rattled off some things and she went further to make sure that he did believe there was a real medical problem, and he said yes. Today while my father was attempting AGAIN to get some information passed from one of the specialists to Gabroy the nurse going between him and the Doctor let my father know that Gabroy feels my mother's problems are all in her head. My father was amazed and couldn't believe his ears. He made her repeat what she said to be sure. We began calling her specialists only to discover that he had made his feelings known to these other doctor's making it more difficult for her to get seen. I can not imagine anyone doing more harm to my mother's health and well being. The biggest question I have for Dr. Gabroy is: If it's all in her head why didn't you make an immediate appointment with a psychiatrist or psycologist? Why let her butt her head against a wall trying to get seen by specialist after specialist while actively keeping their help at bay? Disgusting.

This is the worst doctor's office I've ever encountered. Went in for checkup and to see about some stomach pains and other issues. After waiting for nearly two hours to be seen (I can accept that in light of our current medical system flaws), I was rushed from one area to another --only to be seen for a whopping five minutes by a doctor that didn't seem to care about any of mys issues, symptoms or questions Gabrow seemed like he wanted to be somewhere else. So all I got out of it was a referral for lab tests.

So I went for lab tests and then was sent a bill and notice saying none of it would be coveredcontacted both the lab and my insurance -- both of whom said that it should and would be covered, but that the doctor's office incorrectly submitted the paperworkI was to contact Gabrow's office again and tell them to resubmit. So I did and waited, and waited and waited. I called again, then again, then againin all I called about 8 or 9 nine timeseach time I was told their office is very busy, to be patient and they'd get to it. After a month and a half of this nonsense, I paid the amount due to the lab out of pocket.

Disgusted, I wrote a letter to Gabrow, telling him of how I was treated and expressing my disappointment. The response, I got a CERTIFIED letter back a week or so later signed by Gabrow. It stated simply that he would no longer consider me as a patientNo help, no apology, nothing to try and reimburse my or even resubmit my paperwork like his office was SUPPOSED toNo, just a big "screw you."

A couple of months later, I got a bill saying I was overdue for paying the office copay and that I needed to pay it immediately. Thing is, I paid my copay at the office when I went and have the receipt and canceled check to prove it.

This doctor and his office is apparently far more interested in your money than they are in actually helping you, treating you or simply caring.

I went to Dr. Gabroy because of the rating and reviews below. At first he seemed really nice and caring, but he is very nonchalant and doesn't listen. The visits are too quick and he sometimes assumes rather than tests. The billing department was horrific when my fiance visited. He ended up paying out of pocket since they would not bill the insurance. Afterwards, Dr. Gabroy sent a certified letter to my fiance stating that he did not want a troublemaker for a patient.

Dr. Gabroy is excellent. Love him as a Dr. However, his staff is not as wonderful. I have had problems with being billed for proceedures not performed such as pluse/oxygen readings. I have also had problems with the billing department failing to submit insurance claims properly and then going after me for the full amount. When I FINALLY got a copy of what they were submitting there were errors with my ID number, billing codes and the submission procedure. They were very prompt about hiring a harassing bill collector though! If the same effort was made by properly submitting my claim to insurance and working with the insurance company there never would have been a problem.

Doc has helped me, my mother and my husband for years. He has given us bad news, helped us through it and carried us to the other side with his constant care. His referrals , when necessary, to other surgeons,specialists, etc. is always followed closely by himself. He "owns" his clientele and is a rare breed of doctor like we used to see at our doors in the old days of house calls. Caring, thorough and consistently there when you need him.

Dr. Gabroy goes the extra mile, and takes time to get to know you, and what problems you may have. He is very thorough, extremely intelligent and precise on his diagnosis. Waiting room times have always been very minimal and getting into see him has always been a very easy process. His staff has always been friendly and very helpful. I had to have emergency back surgery, and Dr Gabroy made sure I had the best doctor in Vegas to take care of me.
Dr Gabroy is very personable, professional and an excellent doctor.
I recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Gabroy is really great. He takes the time and interest to discuss things and look into any problems. His office staff is efficient also.
