Her agenda was to push the COVID vaccine and it made me very uncomfortable. I told her several times I was not interested. Moreover I was getting over the flu She never bothered to check my lungs or ask me about it. Instead I feel like she's super masked up and try to stay away. I did let them know that I tested twice negative for Covid before my appointment but that did not matter. I will not go back there

Dr. Gaff is very competent. I feel her bedside manner is lacking, however. At an appointment for a physical I want to have some "banter" time. I want to ask minor physical ailment questions that would not warrant a usual full appointment. I want to ask oddball questions and have a reflective answer.

I called to make my well check appt. and they couldn't schedule me for 3 months. After a month goes by, they call to tell me they need to move my appt. to an hour later. I told them that didn't work & the original time worked best. They acted annoyed and said I could either take this later time or wait 3 more months. How is this good customer service? They need to change my time for their now scheduled meeting but they won't be flexible regarding my schedule?

The doctor sent me immediately to the hospital which was very necessary.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This provider has been dismissive of the issues I've brought up numerous times and seems to have no time for me. After reviewing the notes in my online account from yesterday's appointment and seeing that numerous things were written down as having been discussed, when in fact they absolutely were not, I will be switching primary care providers.

I like that Dr Gaff provided me with printed materials about my condition which I can refer to after my visit. It's sometimes hard to remember everything that a doctor says so the printed info as well as the on-line summary of the visit are helpful.

back in 2015 Dr Gaff saved my life. My regular Dr. moved to north carolina so i decided to see Dr Gaff. I think she is an excellent provider. I trust her to give me sound advice.

The most comprehensive and useful physical exam I have had in years.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was a surprisingly good visit! the instructions said I could discuss any medical problems that should be dealt with by a separate appointment. I had some concerns and asked them anyway. I was listened to courteously and received excellent responses that assured me that doctors really do care. in the past, I have left feeling like the checkup visit was a waste of time, since we only talked about what I had already answered on line. since the things I was questioning weren't on the firm, they were never discussed. These questions were not urgent medical questions worthy of a separate appointment which wastes their time and my money.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Gaff and her staff are wonderful. My only comment is that my appt was at 8:10am and I didn't see the Dr until 8:40/ 8:45. There was a staff meeting that occurred from after check in until 8:30, so perhaps appts should be scheduled more appropriately.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was my first visit with Dr. Gaff. She seemed to be very thorough.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Gaff is always welcoming and, based on my experience, knows her patients and their conditions. She's courteous, knowledgeable and communicates effectively at a layperson's level. She definitely has the human touch. She's an asset to the Legacy team without doubt.

Other than the fact that the office was very busy and the appointment took quite awhile Dr. Gaff and Debbie were great as always. The unusual times, COVID and its byproducts understandably create backlogs not normally experienced. I get it...

As always care is shown

everything went well
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Gaff has always gone out of her way to ask me if there is anything else I have a problem with besides the reason for the appointment. I always feel comfortable asking questions, even stupid questions. She always answers and does not act like she thinks they are stupid. If I ask her if she thinks I should see a specialist for a certain problem, she is always willing to give me a referral to one although I really think she is capable of doing whatever I need. She seems to be a very smart Doctor as well as knowing how to make me feel comfortable informing me what I need to do, without telling me I have to! My last three Drs died, retired and moved out of state. I really hope Dr Gaff stays as long as I am alive By the way, I feel comfortable during this pandemic going to her office because of the way this office and the staff operate.
