Dr. Gibson is amazing and hilarious! She does not play around with the health of her patients which I truly appreciate. It seems that Dr. Gibson truly cares! I love how direct and honest she is. I appreciate her honesty and that she wants me to take care of my health.

Dr Gibson was excellent in introducing herself to me as my new doctor since [staff] left in December. She was very patience with me in understanding my concern in having to have another NEW DOCTOR since she is my 5th doctor since I have been attending my health needs to JOHNS HOPKINS. She explained and checked everything with me.

I enjoyed how direct and honest Dr. Gibson was about my health. I was pleased by her ability to give difficult news but trying to remain optimistic. I was also pleased with her nonverbal communication, it was refreshing to have a doctor seem human and not robotic. I feel like a strong rapport can be built with Dr. Gibson.

Very thorough exam and discussion and she began a treatment plan that makes sense and is reasonable.
