Karsten Gammeltoft, MD

“Once you get used to Dr. Gammelt...”

Once you get used to Dr. Gammeltoft, you realize that he is a delight and cares greatly about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone and feel completely confident in his abilities. He is compassionate, and willing to listen to the parents of his patients. He will push back against anything that he feels would not be beneficial, however, he does so very tactfully and compassionately. I appreciate a straight shooter, and can't speak highly enough of Dr. Gammeltoft.

“The doctor was very interested i...”

The doctor was very interested in my son. He quickly recognized our son would benefit from an in school support person and home support.

“I already recommended a patient ...”

I already recommended a patient and they scheduled an appointment

“He gave no explanation of testin...”

He gave no explanation of testing or treatment plan. He asked very few questions. His only exam was looking in my son's eyes, no neurological exam. He offered to prescribe medication; but didn't explain what it was, side effects, warnings, or define how long to take it. After looking it up the treatment although probably common is off label and has a black box warning for suicide which seems important to mention for a teen boy. I expect a higher level of care from a specialist. If he had any idea what was causing my son's headaches he didn't reveal that to us. I left feeling discouraged. There was no mention of comfort measures other than we could try some medicine. I was discouraged and disappointed by the appt / provider and not interested in seeing him again.
