Leslie S Gaskill MD LLC

I waited for over an hour to see Dr. Gaskill for a follow up to a CIMT exam and when I told her, her response was, ""well you can go to one of your other doctor's if they run on schedule."" I told her I may. Then when I asked what I should do about some ""high risk"" levels this CIMT exam detected she said ""well since you are going to another doctor my job is to just to go over your evaluation. The new doctor can request your records."" She would not explain any further, and walked out of the room red-faced and angry. \r \r She seems to use nurses in training to train on her patients. In early April my annual exam took 2 hours, the nurse was unable to fill the little blood vials, and that was with the needle in the vein, and one vial already full. She pulled the needle out and said I need to do it again. I asked for another nurse. She was unable to perform the hearing test without assistance and had to have help with the EKG machine.\r \r So defensive and very unprofessional. I'm sorry I've waited this long to find another GP. Be warned: patients are little better than guinea pigs at Dr. Gaskill's practice. more

I was informed this by one of the nurses after going there. The nurse was very honest with me after i complained to her about my treatment there thus far. Now i will admit, the wait times are TERRIBLE!!..1 to 2 hours. The front desk smile at you but can be very rude. The nurses are very nice and caring, very nice to meet the one male nurse there.. knowledgeable and gets tasks done. Dr Gaskill and her PA know what there are talking about i would say 60 percent of the time, the other 40 percent they hit you with a barrage of tests some unnecessary!!! After the huge bill you get they better figure out what is going on!!! And you better not have your own opinion or else you the friendly smiles of the doc and her PA go away and you are blindsided by superior complex attitudes and condescending conversation and scare tactics... And why is it that her nurses stay for a year at most?? She explains results thoroughly but nothing i cant get from webMD or my iphone..... Oh and DON'T let her obliterate your wallet with her hocus pocus laser treatment!!! I learned the hard way! no results!!! more

Dr. Gaskill is very thorough and caring. No one has ever taken the time to explain my test results to me like she has. I go in regularly to see her for monitoring my medication and weight loss progress. I can tell she truly cares for her patient’s health. I highly recommend this office. more

I moved to Georgia a few months ago, and my daughter’s pediatrician recommended Dr. Gaskill’s office for me. I could not be happier with the care she provides. Having already had a small heart attack, I appreciate her aggressive approach to heart disease. Dr. Gaskill thoroughly explains my test results so that I can understand them, and is always willing to answer my questions. The nurses are excellent too. They are very courteous and professional. I am glad to have a doctor like Dr. Gaskill, and I highly recommend her practice. more

My family has been seeing Dr. Gaskill for years, and we have never had any problems at her office. Being in the medical field myself, I appreciate all of the time and information that she provides to her patients, and understand that you cannot make everyone happy, but I know Dr. Gaskill strives to. The office staff is always prompt and professional with return calls and scheduling office visit, and the nurses are great at drawing blood. You won’t find the kind of medical care that Dr. Gaskill provides at any other office, she is the best. more

Most unproffessional Doctor I have ever visited. Inconsistent responses from Gaskill and her PA over past 3 weeks lead to my having to question some things at the beginning of my scheduled physical exam. WIthin only about 10 minutes she became flustered and WALKED OUT OF THE EXAM ROOM. She said she thought I was not happy with her and her PA would finish the exam. I did not stick around with such unprofessional behavior. This was of course AFTER an inappropriate comment from the male nurse ( later told he was an ""extern"") who commented on my legs while he was supposed be information gathering at the beginning of the appt. Sexual harrassment perhaps? Don't waste your time like I did. more

I have been a patient in this office for many years and have followed Dr. Gaskill as her practice has grown. I have always been very happy with her competence as a doctor. She listens and is always helpful and supportive. The staff is friendly and professional. I have seen Dr. Gaskill and her PA many times and I am always very happy with the care I get. more

My OB/Gyn referred me to Dr. Gaskill several months ago, and I could not be happier. Dr. Gaskill is a caring person with a passion for preventing disease. She has explained the heart tests to me and now I understand my risks, which I did not think I had, but I do. We are working on getting my weight and cholesterol under control. With her help and the support of my plaquebusters team we are being successful. I am glad my OB/Gyn recommended Dr. Gaskill and now I recommend her too! more

I have known of Dr. Gaskill for many years because we see many of her patients at the dermatology office I work at, and I am also one of her patients. Everyone always comments about how caring she is and I agree. Dr. Gaskill’s passion is prevention of cardiovascular disease, but she treats the entire person. Only she has been able to help me with gastrointestinal problem that many other physicians could not treat. To me it sounds like that previous patient is just an unhappy person. We have patients like that in our practice, maybe she is just a jealous person. I have learned in my many years as a nurse that you cannot make everyone happy, and that long wait times in the doctor’s office is an indication of focused individual care. That is the type of care Dr. Gaskill provides. more

I have had several unpleasant experiences at this office. The wait times are unacceptably long; 2+ hours on one occasion without notice or explanation. The office manager later tried to charge me for cancelling an appointment the day before saying I was wasting their time. I then proceeded to write out an invoice for my 2 hour wait time & they backed down. Obviously they view themselves as superior to their patients & their time as far more valuable than mine. Despite her protestations to the contrary, Dr Gaskill is unaware of issues in her practice. I pointed out this fact with a letter I had sent about the above incidents that she had not been shown. She blamed this on the mail, I certainly hope 'the mail' doesn't interfere with her receiving patients' important test results in this way. I found the office & nursing staff curt & Dr Gaskill's attitude belittling, she spoke to me like a 5 yr old. (I'm a 40+ qualified nurse, midwife & mother of 3) I went to her office for a repeat Rx for medication totally unrelated to heart disease which she skipped right over & started berating me about my high pulse & quizzing me about my lifestyle. (No wonder my pulse was high, she was insulting!) I realize that Dr Gaskill is knowledgeable & passionate in her crusade against cardiovascular disease but it is almost to the point of 'tunnel vision'. She seems uninterested and disparaging about anything else. I will not be going back to her office. more

I asked my dentist who he recommended for a doctor, and he suggested Dr. Gaskill. I researched her online. Most of the reviews were very good, but I wanted more information before going into see her. When I called the office I wanted to know about the testing that Dr. Gaskill does. I was told she does not do experimental testing, but that some insurance companies, Humana specifically, considers the VAP cholesterol test as experimental, and most other insurance companies cover it, even Medicare. I have been to the office now several times and saw Dr. Gaskill and Jan, her PA. They are excellent, and seem very sincere. They do not seem like the type of office that would order unnecessary tests, and I would be angry at my insurance company for not covering something that they ordered. Where does the insurance company get their medical training. Dr. Gaskill explained the cardiac prevention testing that she does and my wife and I have signed up for all of it. I think it is fantastic to have a doctor that is so passionate about her patient’s health. more

I thought I was healthy until I had the cardiovascular testing that Dr. Gaskill recommended. It turns out I am at risk for a heart attack. We only found this out through the advanced testing that she does. Since then we have started medication and I am doing better with my diet and exercise. I feel like I owe my life to Dr. Gaskill. She is a wonderful doctor, and I know she looks out for my best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone. more

We have been with Dr. Gaskill for many years and have also fumbled through the billing errors over the years. We have had no developments, concerns or changes in our prescriptions for several years. We only see her for annual physicals and her required follow ups. Insurance has rejected a blood test as being ""experimental"" three years in a row. Even after resubmitting to the insurance company her opinion of medical necessity, the insurance continues to reject the test. We do not want the ""recommended"" test. Next year - we are told we can refuse the test (which we did this year!) but that if we do, she will not refill any of our prescriptions. Again recommended, not required, experimental 3 yrs in a row by a large reputable insurance company and the feeling of complete disregard for the patients wishes. What will she require next? We appreciated the passion initially, but she now her unwillingness to see our side makes her appear more unsympathetically fanatical and less than helpful. more

Both me & my wife have visited this doctor for general health check up after getting reference from a friend.But we found their services to be pretty disappointing. On top of that they have been sending wrong bills for doctor visits that have not been there. Wouldn't suggest the doctor to others. more

Dr. Gaskill is wonderful. She takes care of my entire family and all of my friends too! We were referred to her by a good friend when we moved to Georgia and we could not be happier with her. She used the laser to treat my husband's bad stomach problems and he is doing great. It is wonderful to have a doctor that is open minded, and willing to learn new things to take care of her patients. I have benefitted from her cardiovascular prevention program. I think she has added years to my life. Dr. Gaskill is the doctor to see! more

Very thorough and knowledgeable. Caring and compassionate. Dr. Gaskill takes great care of us. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They know us by sight. I tell everyone to go see Dr. Gaskill. She is excellent. more

I am typically a very healthy person, so I don't go to the doctor very often. When I am sick or due for my physical I go to Dr. Gaskill. She is very thorough, and comprehensive. She is big on prevention, and so am I. I know she is looking out for my best interest. I like that she takes her time and explains things to me; i.e. why she recommends certain tests, and what my benefit is, test results, etc. I won't go anywhere else. more

Dr. Gaskill is a great doctor. She takes care of all of my family's medical needs. We never have a problem with getting test results, prescription refills, or return calls from the staff. Her office staff is wonderful, and we have complete trust in them. more

Here are the pros and cons about being a patient at Dr. Gaskill's office. Pro: she is a thorough physician and is especially so for conditions relating to the cardiovascular system. Con: she can be moody, and like other reviewers said, her support staff is unfriendly. Curt, one-word answers to your questions, etc. I do also feel that she is really focused on the money. It seems she really wants to schedule office visits, even when they are not necessary. For example, she will not accept phone calls from patients, even if you're just following up with a question on your lab results. The standard answer you will receive is, ""if you want to talk to the Dr. you have to make an office appointment."" This experience was the straw that broke the camels back: Before going out of town on a business trip I noticed I was out of a perscription. I called the office for a refill and was told I would not be granted a refill unless I came in for an office visit. I was not sick, and was leaving that day with no time to go the doctor. I tried to reason with the office staff but they refused to fill the scrip. I started looking for a new doctor the next day. Overall, Dr. Gaskill just makes things much harder than they have to be. It's a shame because she is a competent physician. However, there are so many really good doctors in the Johns Creek area, there is no need to subject yourself to this treatment. I recommend you look for another physician. more

Dr. Gaskill is one of the best doctors I've met. She spends lots of time explaining and was extremely patient. She was pleasant and really easy to talk to. She's the type of doctor everyone wishes they had. more
