Verified patient
Jan 2024I know Dr Gay is smart but I get little eye contact from him. For the second visit in a row, he did not answer my questions. No response whatsoever. He is so busy typing, even when I'm not talking, so I do not even sure what he's typing about. I would actually change doctors but know that's not ethical within a practice and I want to stay with Novant. I highly recommend that this practice offers informational handouts related to the various diseases they treat. I'm having to learn about my disease from WebMD, and feel like I need to be learning it from Dr Gay.
