"Such a nice person and explained everything well"

"Amzing MD"
"Doctor Gambla was personable and spent the time to read through patient records & actively listened to the patient"
"I’ve been treated for a decade by Dr. Gambla and I consider him to be an excellent physician.
He has always been on time for our office visits.
He always schedules a lengthy office visit to address any questions and concerns.
Unlike other doctors that I have seen he concentrates on my issues and concerns and does not allow himself to be distracted by a cell phone or a computer screen.
He presents treatment and procedure options and is non judgmental when one decides against any of these options.
When I was hospitalized back in 2012, a team of doctors gave me a 5% chance of survival. Dr. Gambla argued in favor of a biopsy and further treatments. After 32 days, including 10 in ICU I was able to walk out on my own.
After that he treated me for conditions and a disease associated with my hospital stay that could have proved to be fatal.
I would recommend him to anyone who has illnesses that connect to gastroenterology."
"Mi experiencia es acerca de la salud de mi papá el doctor Gregory Gambla y todo el personal nos trataron super amable y respondieron todas nuestras dudas gracias por ser tan amables y x decirnos como debemos hacer para el tratamiento de mi papá"
"Dr. Gambla is very interested in his patients health. He took 30 mins with me explaining to me my problem and how he would correct my problems. I've never had any doctor include me in his plan of care."
"Dr. Gamble is very patient and caring. He takes the time to explain things and made sure I understood. Extremely attentive. He went above and beyond my expectations."
"Dr. Gambla and his staff in Elgin were all friendly and kind. My nurse, ( a male - I’m terrible with names, sorry) was excellent, very knowledgeable and very nice. Dr. Gambla was personable and easy to talk to, and explained everything in layman’s terms for me. I highly recommend using Dr. Gambla for this very necessary and important not-so-fun procedure."

"I have gone to Dr. Gambla for 15+ years. He is the nicest guy and a great doctor. My colonoscopy last week went very smoothly with clear, concise results. The admission nurse, Nathan, was good and fun; and the anesthesiologist, Tracey, was efficient and helped keep your mind occupied. Colonoscopies are not fun but this one was about as good as it gets."
"Dr. Gambla has been my specialist since 2001 and has always provided excellent care for me. His bed side manner is wonderful and it is refreshing to have a doctor who takes the time to listen to my concerns and address them properly. He is very thorough when going over any concerns I may have and takes the time to explain things in a way that I can understand them as the patient. I feel blessed to have such a good doctor in my life."

"Dr. Gambla has been a big help to my health issues personally, but I also have to add that his kindness and personability are such a great thing, and increasingly rare in a medical field full of stressed out doctors.

"I have gone to Dr. Gambla for many years. I have always found him a good listener and a doctor who involves the patient in the process. On my last visit I had not seem him in well over a year because of Covid. Many health related problems had come up with me in that time. We discussed the events related to my health and he made sure he knew me and situation. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone. Also, his office staff is kind and efficient."

"Excellent !!"
"What a wonderful and caring Doctor. He's also very humorous, which is great when you are feeling nervous. Good job Dr. Gambla, and thank you!"
"Dr. Gambla was really professional on the phone with me. He explained to me in words I understood. He asked me alot of questions which I found refreshing, not like other Doctors. He wanted to make I understand everything that happened to me in the ER. He is a doctor that I would feel very comfortable calling him up if any of my symptoms returned.
Thank you very much Jeanne M"
"Knowledgeable and great bedside manner."
"What a fantastic doctor. Great bed side manner and is great at his job. Highly recommended."
"Honestly, he’s awesome. I’d been sick pretty much all year. I often get the run around from Dr’s because of my weight so I avoid them because they all just say, lose a few pounds. He took my concerns seriously. Scheduled a procedure and found out what I had in about a month. And it wasn’t even weight related at all. Really awesome Dr. I really am grateful for his service."
"Good guy. Still looking for the cause of my discomfort. Haven't given up yet."
