Patient Reviews
May 15, 2020
Dr. James Gates has been my OB/GYN Dr for over 30 years. He delivered my son in 2000 and I couldn’t have picked a better doctor than him. He is a very thorough, gentle & caring Dr. He takes time to explain everything to me in terms I can understand. I have never seen him without a smile on his face. It makes things so much easier when you have a doctor who cares. Dr. Gates....you are the BEST!! I love ya! Melissa Hunt
