"He's a really nice man and he means well and tries his best. He is sweet and earnest even if his wife is difficult to deal with but he does try his best. Only problem is that he has many unintentional gender based biases which ended up being detrimental to the care I was able to get from him. His earnest nature caused me to stay with him much longer than I should have. When I was expressing the symptoms of a rare heart disorder he insisted it was anxiety, until I stoped bringing it up because I was seeing a cardiologist, when I was loosing weight unintentionally despite eating more (I dropped down from 94 lbs to 89 lbs and was skin and bones) he told me not to worry unless I dropped into the 70's. I'm pretty sure if I were to get down to 79lbs I'd be dead or close to it. When some unknown thing was causing me to throw up frequently and I asked for a referral to gastro or the guy doctor he said "so you're bulimic" and told me to follow up with psych. I don't want to hurt his feelings as ...he's a kind person but I also think it is important to be truthful and let others know what they may be getting with him. If you're reading this Dr. Gacote I'm sorry you are a nice man and could have been a fantastic doctor for me but you've got gender biases that impede your ability to be a good doctor to women. If you do read this I hope rather than be hurt you try to think about what biases you have so you can better see patients and truly listen to what they have to say. Thank you for being my doctor for two years I wish you the best. "Read more
