Dr. Dib may very well be a good doctor. It’s hard to tell because he will only show you the “stage” version of his professional demeanor. From the minute he walks into a room, he’s in entertainment mode, and that is all you will ever see… unless you criticize him. Well, in a minute... My wife, Donna, developed an atrial fibrillation, which is what brought us to Dr. Dib. To be fair, he was very thorough in making sure that she had no parallel conditions that might lead to stroke during the electrical cardioconversion procedure he planned to perform. However, when I asked him (at least a couple of times) what happens if this procedure fails, all we ever got was, “You will be fine, we don’t need to worry about what comes next, we will fix your heart for you,” with a tone like a parent annoyed with a child asking too many questions. As a result of this “I will take care of you,” fog, we were taken completely by surprise when Donna had to be admitted to the hospital, after three attempts failed to shock her heart back into a proper rhythm. The next step, it now became known to us, was to administer a drug through IV for 24 hours, to accomplish what the shocking couldn’t. Had Dr. Dib answered our questions, we would have been ready for this. Instead, we were totally unprepared and I had to make an extra trip (100 miles, round-trip). Hospital admission after this procedure is not common, but not rare, either. Dr. Dib should have explained this possibility to us before the procedure. Dr. Dib likes to play practical jokes, at your expense, as part of his presentation. Some people like this, I hear. We didn’t. For example, at our first office visit, he spent a few minutes talking perfunctorily about the procedure, then grabbed a pair of rubber gloves and told Donna to get on the table for her “rectal exam.” Huh? After we fumbled a few confused words about this, he smiled and told us it was just a joke. We were trying to listen carefully to what he was saying, trying not to miss anything, when he tossed in this ridiculous “humor,” knocking us completely off-balance, just to satisfy his sense of showmanship. This left us squirming in our chairs, wondering how we should respond to anything he was saying. Joke? Medical information? Hard to tell. Clearly, though, the jokes were more important than offering substantial answers to serious questions, several of which were still hanging when he walked out of the room. Time, and time again, he would respond to technical questions with deflecting, condescending “reassurances,” failing to offer any information. The final insult came at discharge. The intravenous procedure ended at noon, the next day, and we were told that Dr. Dib would be in thereafter to finalize the discharge. Even though we were told, repeatedly, that he was “on the floor” and would be in to see us “shortly,” it was 3 ½ hours later that he finally walked in the room, said in the most off-hand way, “Oh, I see that you are fine; you can go,” and started walking out. At this point, I lost my temper, a bit, and asked him if there were some medical reason that required us to wait over three hours, at the end of a completely unexpected hospital stay, for this 5-second proclamation, and why weren’t we told about the possibility of hospitalization before hand? He did not take this criticism well. After a few more words, he told me that “You (meaning me) needed to find a new cardiologist,” and stormed out of the room. The problem with this is that I didn’t need a cardiologist, Donna did. She had nothing to do with the discussion that Dr. Dib and I had about his behavior. In fact, she did not approve of my interference (rightly so; it was her procedure). Yet Dr. Dib dismissed her without the slightest recognition that she was a different person, his patient, and had made no verbal quarrel with him. Subsequent attempts to bring this logical fallacy to his attention elicited no response. His sense of pride turned out to be much more important to him than fidelity to the Hippocratic Oath. In my opinion, Dr. Dib failed to provide good medical care for us. He repeatedly failed to answer technical questions, substituting his version of humor and condescending dismissal, all of which left us confused about what to expect, and unprepared for the hospital stay. When confronted with this inadequacy, he displayed childish arrogance, which is unacceptable anywhere, but much more so when it comes from someone you hope you can trust with you r life. He refused to follow through his obligation to provide medical care to his patient, all because he didn’t like the patient’s spouse. I recommend that prospective patients look elsewhere for a cardiologist, unless you enjoy being the butt of crude jokes, are ok with inadequate information about the treatment you seek, and don’t mind a capricious attitude toward your needs as a patient.

This doctor gave me a drug that my pharmacist warned me about, so I only bought 6 pills. In a few days I got a letter from my insurance company sent me a letter stating this drug is unsafe to give to those over 65 for the side effects were awesome. I passed out so many times but the most dangerous time was I got in my car. Thank God I got a phone call and did not drive the car. I was going to get my puppy from my groomer and could have killed myself and others on the road. After the call, I passed out in the car at around 3 :00 until 7:30 in the evening. Bless the groomers heart for she knew I would not leave my dog and EMS. God Bless that man for I really would not have been able to walk into my home. I confronted Hecker. Asked me what had killed my pain before, told they gave me a drug in the called percoset. I did not really know what it was. I said to him in a very calm manner I could ring your neck, I thought a common saying. He.left the room and in a few minutes, it struck me that this man was angry. and I was upset for I. had profiled his behavior and got up walked a little improvised office, no doors, where I experienced something I have never seen, a temper tantrum to beat the band. In my life time, I flew for a major airline as a flight attendant and a teacher of 12th graders. I have never seen anything like it !!!!. But found my former doctor who told me that he had been fired from that medical system but to cover themselves did not publicly announced it. NOW this powder keg is Brevard County's problem.. The thought of being put under by this man is horrifying to me and should be to anyone. In my opinion, he is an extremely, insecure person which certainly shows if you question his authority. I was thrown out of the pain clinc and given a bottle of oxycodone-7.5_325 It was issused to me on May 17 16 and I still have the bottle with plenty of pills in it. After that day with Hecker, it was amazing of how people called to say how sorry they were. Oh, I went to the NC medical Board, they thought it was perfectly ok. Am sure the hospital backed him completely, but they finally figured it out and let him go. Now my final thought, this was done to a lady who has a spine desinitagrating, a knee that isi in horrid shape and is painful and was 72 years old. Be careful Hendersonville, you have tome bomb ticking but so sure this fool would have another story.

I met with Dr. Gaday for the first time today, her office called 2x's and insisted I make an appointment for my father. Threatening me that if I don't they will not fill my fathers prescriptions. I made an appointment to introduce myself and ask about my father prescriptions and review a report from my father Eye surgeon. She with a huff, walks in the room plops down leans back in her chair and says I am your father doctor. I tried to speak with her several times and she cut me off each time. I TRYED to explain, my father and I have been estranged for several years, but have now over the last year have managed to patch things up. She cuts me off again and says "yea i know the whole story". she then proceeds to lean into my face and say, "what are you doing here", "What do you hope to gain", Why did you come?, Whats in it for you?:" Again I try to explain and AGAIN she cuts me off, stating, your father does not want you here, you need to leave, she then gets up and walks out of the room. I comment my sister and brother-in law want to speak with her, without the common courtesy of turning to speak to me, she walks away with her back turned and says "go get them" and keeps on walking away. So I get them, and Dr. Gaday walks in the room, says hi sweetie to my brother-in law and they hug.....Dr. Gaday states she wants only one family contact and Mike your it! I was living with my father and caring daily for him after I had moved all the way here from MI at my father multiple months of request.. She then turns and introduces herself to my sister...who by the way has stated time and time again she takes dad to his Dr. appointments. Caught in her own lie once again! What kid of professional behaves this way, and what kind of Dr. tells her patients to get a reverse mortgage, without consulting with the family? This Dr. was WAY OUT OF LINE, after phone conversations with my Brother in law, she had already made her mind up about me without even meeting me. She was RUDE, OBNIXOUS, AND TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND VERY BIASED. I would think twice about using this so called Dr. she cannot be objective and is totally one sided. I have worked in the medical field for all of my adult life and NEVER observed a Dr. overstep her bounds the way this Doc did. This Dr. needs to check her EGO at the door!

Category: Professor

Former professor retired then back to teaching. Very experienced and knowledgeable, cares for the students. Expects one to study and attend class. Teaches beyond the text. Develops life skills and is excellent mentor. Will write a recommendation if the class work and aspiration is serious. He has a good sense of humor but doesn't tolerate silliness. If you want to learn about history and the arts take this professor's class. If you want an easy class with no work and little learning do not take this class.

I just want to start with a quick description of my symptoms/experiences prior to Dr. Kessey’s assistance. I also want to point out that I am typically hesitant with doctors. For about 6 months I was “sleeping” (or trying to…) on the the floor with my dog. I would brush my teeth while on my knees, in between short periods of standing, every morning. I felt determined to get through pain pretty much all through each day, but found no relief, and ultimately felt pretty consistently angry. Eventually, I started to miss time at work and essentially gave up. I reached out to Dr. Kessey. Now, after receiving his help I feel like a different person. I feel like I can get back to doing the things that I want to do. I can rebuild my body and life. That being said, I am writing this review to also do my best to compliment his demeanor as a person, his sense of humility, his bed side manner and his personality as a whole. For his conversations, guidance and ultimately his skill in the operating room I will be forever grateful. Thank you Mr. Kessey.
