Dr. Gayle leaving the practice, or something like that. He's overseen/delivered two of my kids.
quote:Agreed.
Though from having dealt with him professionally that is not a shock at all...
quote:From his fb page. Draaaama.
To my patients & friends:I know the last 24 hours have created a whirlwind of questions and doubt. For that I apologize. Because of recent events, I will no longer be practicing at Advanced Ob/Gyn.
My concerns for the care and well being of my patients placed me in direct conflict with my corporate partner. My departure is immediate. I will still continue to practice medicine in B/CS and WILL NOT be leaving town. If you would like to continue care with me, you may request your records. I will instruct my patients via Facebook and my personal website on how to contact me. I greatly appreciate the kind messages, words of encouragement and prayers. God works in amazing and wonderful ways.
All of this will work out for the very best.
Sincerely,

It is correct he has not been with affiliates for several years. I have heard from several folks that the split from his recent partner was not amicable or pleasant in any way shape or form. Though from having dealt with him both personally and professionally that is not a shock at all...
quote:They were both at Affiliates when I had my kids. And for clarification, it was Affiliates' web page that I got the virus notification from.
Elsie, I don't believe Dr. Smith was ever a part of "Dr. Gayle's " practice. Dr. Smith was and is with Affiliates for Women's Health. This group has a number of doctors.

I'm curious as to what happened as well. I've always had good dealings with Dr. Gayle. I believe it's highly likely that my beautiful eight month old son would not have been carried to term had we used another obstetrician.

So it sounds like he may have issues with hospital staff? I have it on pretty good authority that his staff in his office will move with him. That doesn't seem to be a staff that is being abused if they choose to go with him. Interesting stuff and like I said the first post, there are always two sides to the story.

My wife has had 2 children delivered by Dr. Gayle. I have never found him to be anything but professional, thorough, honest, and sincere. My father ran a very successful and respected OBGYN practice in Dallas for nearly 30 years. Dr. Gayle never had issue with me asking or pitching ideas at him that my father suggested during the course of my wife's care. He is in a profession that works extremely long hours, is extremely stressful, and sees more law suits than just about any other field of professional work. The best of doctors out there have been known to snap at a nursing staff or be short with a patient from time to time. There has only ever been one physician to walk on water. Things tend to happen when you have sometimes been up for 48 hours straight and have seen your family a total of a few hours in a week long period.
As others have said, there are 2 sides to every story, but my family and others we know have never had a negative thing to say about the man. In fact we switched to him years ago because of sub standard care from another OB group in B/CS that shall remain nameless. I've never been a believer in tearing down anyone's reputation from behind a keyboard.
