My husband and I have been with Gawelko for 10 plus years. He’s always taken good care of us. He’s like a loving dad, honestly. We will continue to follow him wherever he goes. Very thankful for his medical care over the years.

I've been going to Dr Gawelko for many years and I have no complaints about this man. He's always listening to my concerns and such. Sorry he's leaving but I certainly am going to find out if I could follow him cuz I don't really want to change doctors.

Went to see Dr. Gawelko instead of my usual PCP as his practice was much closer. After the appointment, I realized I should have just made the trip to my usual PCP. Dr. Gawelko immediately seemed annoyed walking into the exam room, and seemed to doubt the symptoms I was describing about my condition. The doctor seemed very judgemental, and I did not feel respected or cared for, or that my health was taken seriously. Absolutely will not see him again.

This office scheduled our annual exams last year. My husband, who is a heart patient, ran out of his medication. We are scheduled for our annual exams on May 9th, today is May 1. This doctor refused to give my husband his medication which cannot be stopped once its started and his reason is that my husband has not been seen in a year. HIS OFFICE scheduled this appointment, why do that? What about the oath he took. We have NEVER been treated so horribly by a call center "Shareka" or a doctor with no concern for his patients. ... read more

Great---the complaints above seem to me, to be patients that are not fully informed and want to be "hand fed", along with not knowing that doctors have to be extremely careful when prescribing any sort of drug. The doctor is great by any standard.

I would not recommend him, wasted my time and money neglecting to tell me to fast before a blood test. Refused to discuss results or any questions despite me paying for 2 visits to get a simple prescription refill. Gave poor or little advice in writing only.

Dr. Gawelko has been my PCP for the past three years. I am a retired medical malpractice attorney so I think I have a pretty good idea how to evaluate a doctor. In my opinion, Dr. Paul Gawelko is lacking many of the basic qualifications required to be a good and caring doctor. His evaluations are not the most thorough and he seems to have a difficult time listening or is simply not interested. He definitely is not one to be relied upon when it comes to your health. Needless to say, he is longer my PCP.

Beware! Gawelko had me take my annual blood test without telling me I needed to fast. Some results requiring fasting were not accurate. Waste of time and money. Annual physical was worthless when I told him I had back pain. He never examined my back. He was non - responsive when I needed an x-ray order from my physical therapist. After going to Urgent Care 3 days late, it turns out I had a fractured T-9.

This is the worst doctor I have ever been to. Run, don't walk, real fast. I am 73 years old and lived all over the country and have never been to a doctor that was worse than Dr. Gawelko. I am very surprised that Honor Health will keep a doctor like this on their staff, which is very disappointing. I have been a patient of other doctors and facilities at Honor Health and they have been great. The first thing he did when he came in was sit at the computer and say he does not do this and this and this and this.....end of discu... read more
