Dr.Gaines, very sweet Doctor. He unless you ask question, he explains them very thoroughly. He comes in the room, smiling shake your hand sits down and does not rush you . I love that about him because some doctors will come in get to the point and go right back out the door but not Dr.Gaines. My PCP recommended him And everything she explained to me about him was absolutely true. I will truly recommend him to anyone. I give him a 10 !!!
