I had problems shaking on standing, falling etc. It was embarrassing when I went anywhere. I went to Dr. Gibbons once and he helped so much that I usually had no shaking. He was a blessing to my life.

He simply didn’t have accurate knowledge about my condition and never corrected that deficit. He missed the diagnosis, even though others thought it was fairly obvious. There’s a lack of humility; even a brief literature check would have helped to update him. And he never got back to me after the test he ordered disproved his presumed diagnosis. That alone would be reason not to go back.

and was kind of arrogant about it. The reason all of his reviews are great or terrible is that he knows a lot about some things and a little about others. I don’t get the feeling he knows what his deficits are.

In my opinion, the best neurologist at BI. Better to wait for a great one than get misdiagnosed.

So the negative was that it took several months to obtain approval from the office that I could make an appointment and then the appointment was set for nine months away. However, I was on wait list which resulted in my getting an appointment far sooner than had I waited for my initial appointment date to arrive. When I arrived at the office, I was about 15 minutes early, as requested. I didn't even have time to fill out the paperwork, that is how long I had to wait. So that part was great! Meeting with Dr. Gibbons was pleasant. He listened to everything I had to say and had suggestions on how to make improvements in my condition. The jury is still out on if his suggestions will work or not, but even if they didn't work, it is not a reflection on him. The appointment did not feel rushed in any way. All my concerns that I mentioned were addressed. I would recommend him to someone with similar issues as mine, but I was persistent in getting the appointment where someone else may have given up due to the time between my first contact and the initially scheduled appointment.

Dr. Gibbons is the greatest Nearologist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I say 'working' because we both agree that it is a 50/50 relationship when it comes to actively participating in my treatment & potential recovery. He speaks with me not down to me. When I ask him about future studies for things such as stem cell and other studies, he is very positive and knowledgable about research programs that I may qualify for at some time in the future. This is good medicine and I remain hopeful that peripheral neuropathy, along with type 1 diabetes, will become a problem of the past, hopefully in my lifetime. I strongly recommend this fine physician.

He was very nice but he was very confident that all my other doctors had misdiagnosed me and went so far to say a biopsy I had was wrong. In my opinion he should had said well let's double check these things. He then did his own biopsy, it took 3 weeks, finalized it then went on vacation without notifying me of results. He just left me hanging. It was a stressful experience. Office Staff offered no help

Dr. Gibbons is the most professional Dr. we have even seen. My 18 year old son has very complex problems and Dr. Gibbons has been the only one in 5 years that has offered him any help or hope. I would not hesitate for a second to refer anyone to him. His scheduler, Mikaella, is very easy to work with and an extremly nice and professional person. All around HIGH marks!!

I spent months seeing different specialists in Boston and the southern NH area and had every single doctor completely confused. I had to wait 5 months to get an appointment with Dr. Gibbons but it was absolutely worth the wait. Dr. Gibbons was able to give me a diagnosis at my very first visit. He was able to explain everything including how I developed POTS and a plan of treatment that will help me return to my normal life!
