Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Gade really listened when I said the pain meds weren't cutting it. He adjusted my plan without making me feel like I was complaining, and checked in himself to see how I was doing. The recovery was still hard, but having a doctor who actually managed the pain made all the difference.
I've been seeing Dr. Gade for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and doesn't just treat whatever symptom I walked in with that day. He's consistent. I trust his judgment because he's never rushed me into anything and always explains the 'why' behind a treatment. In a city where doctors come and go, that kind of steady care is hard to find.
Needed a doctor for a bad stomach bug. Got an appointment with Dr. Gade at Medicover. He was direct, told me what it likely was, prescribed what I needed. No fuss. Got better in a couple days. Would go back.
I walked into Medicover Hospital with what I thought was just a really bad backache. I was nervous, the parking lot was packed, and I had to wait a bit. Dr. Gade didn't just glance at me. He sat down, asked a ton of questions about my job (I drive a rickshaw), how I sleep, everything. He had me move in specific ways, and then he said he thought it might be a kidney stone, not a muscle thing. He was right. The scan proved it. The way he pieced it together from just talking to me, before any machine, really stuck with me. He treated the person, not just the pain.
