Patient Experience
I'd been feeling off for months, tired and with weird aches. My old doctor just said it was stress. Dr. Gorey actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was mimicking other things. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have a real answer and a plan.
Needed a minor skin cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital visit than the procedure itself. Parking was a nightmare that day. But once I got in, Dr. Gorey made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes, she talked me through each step, and I barely felt a thing. Follow-up was a breeze. Sometimes simple things done well are what you need.
The clinic at Apollo was running late, I won't lie—I waited a bit. But the front desk lady kept me updated, which helped. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and calmed my nerves. When Dr. Gorey came in, she apologized for the wait without me even mentioning it. The whole place just felt organized and calm, not chaotic like some others.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Gorey has this way of just talking *with* you, not at you. She remembers small things, like asking about my daughter's exams we'd mentioned last time. She never rushes, even when I know she's busy. It sounds silly, but she looks you in the eye when you talk. That matters more than any fancy medical term.
