Dr. Joel Thomas Gates

Have had great interactions with Dr. Gates. However there is a woman in that office who is horrible. Doesn’t get things right, doesn’t follow through on what she says she will do. Asked for the results of an INR test. Never called with results. Told her I was out of an insulin. She said she would take care of it. Nope. Went without one of my insulin for 3 days. Unfortunately a doctor can only be as good as the people in his office. This woman is a menace

Dr. Gates was our physician for the 8 years we lived in Ridgway. He and his staff were fantastic. He was consistently caring, empathetic and very professional. He was knowledgeable, and yet personable. We miss him and his staff!

Dr Gates is a competent doctor but has become isolated by and incompetent clerical staff. On several occasions they have not acted in accordance with medicare laws on prescription refills and getting the information to the doctor in a timely manor. Then when wanting to speak with the doctor or medical assistant they have refused to connect me.

I have utilized Dr. Gates as my physician when I am in Colorado for a number of years. He listens, takes his time, and has proven to be very competent. He is obviously well read and stays current with the latest research and medical practices. The office staff and nurses are professional and caring. In short, I have been very pleased with the care I have received at Mountain Medical. I have utilized Dr. Gates as my physician when I am in Colorado for a number of years.

As a care giver to an elderly lady, I was to drive her to her appointment with Dr. Gates. The lady was running late and I called his office stating the problem and we would be there in 10 minutes. The receptionist ask what time was her appointment? I said 1:50. The receptionist replied it is 1:51 p.m. You will have to reschedule. The elderly lady has prior history of stroke and heart attack. I have scheduled an appointment with a different doctor for I will not tolerate a non-caring attitude for the elderly.
