Veery fortanate that I have Sandy as my medical provider

She is amazing. She even drew a picture to connect how the body is supposed to function and what's going wrong with my body because I couldn't understand. I'm a visual learner.

May 2, 2022
Very helpful!
April 27, 2022
My care there was good. But I was sent to the ER which was not the best place for me to go. Something is wrong with our health care system when a doctor can't provide care and has to send you to ER She made it sound like they would take me right in. When I got there there was at least a 12 hour wait. I didn't stay at ER.

September 26, 2021
Sandy may have heard about my email situation - I hope not. But if she did, she used that information to get to a conversation regarding stress, mood and emotions, which we had not discussed before. She to the scientific route (which I appreciated) and went to my MRI scans to show the impact of the lesions in a certain area impact my disposition. That was a great conversation. It opened a space for additional reflection.

It was nice that Sandy wrote down some notes for me on a piece of paper, but she includes smiley faces and frowny faces on the note paper as well as makes commentary that makes me feel like she thinks she is talking to a child.
June 25, 2021
Good experience. First time meeting with Sandra Gibson and was very pleased.
June 21, 2021
Sandra Gibson has been my physician for many years. She is absolutely wonderful. This past Nov. my husband passed away from leukemia. His battle was sudden and lasted only 10 weeks. It was a devastating experience for me. Sandra was a exceptional source of support for me. She is knowledgeable, attentive and has helped me manage many MS. She is also a very caring, patient and supportive person. I couldn't ask for better care.
May 18, 2021
Sandra Gibson is the best provider I have had since my original MD left his practice. she is down to earth and considers the patient's point of view I have had really bad experiences with a few MDs that were very unrealistic and unreasonable. Sandra is great

February 23, 2021
This was the kind of "chat" I have needed to have with Neurology for some time. I think that the tele-conference worked very well. The provider didn't have to worry about entering physical data. We just had a nice, long talk. I didn't really need a physical examination. So, this was great.

November 3, 2020
I told Sandy Mayzent was not working well for me. She suggested I try a new drug called Kesimpta. She never talked about risks and side effects. But the most important thing is the co pay. I was quoted $3000/month from your pharmacy and $5048/ from OptumRX.She needs to send a request to Novartis but has not done this.
November 2, 2020
Sandy is very thorough and easy to understand and talk with.

I have already recommended the MS clinic at Upstate to a newly diagnosed MS patient, based on the quality of my experience with the Upstate MS clinic. My spouse doesn't understand how great my PA is. "Shouldn't you be seeing a doctor." But I understand her MS knowledge and that she is part of a clinic of MS neurologists that are there as needed.
March 17, 2020
We love Sandra Gibson

September 24, 2019
I am so at ease when I have my appointments. Sandra Gibson is patient and understanding.
August 5, 2019
Discussed the pros and cons of a variety of treatments.
July 21, 2019
Sandra Gibson is patient and attentive to my needs. She does not make me feel rushed and ensures all my concerns are addressed.
April 23, 2019
I really don't know how much time is allocated to each patient visit, nor do I know how long she visited with me. However, the time she spent was sufficient. If she was behind schedule, it was only because she spent a little extra time with a previous patient. This is totally understandable. For all I know, the time she spent with me might have put her even farther behind, but any extra time I used was well worth it.
February 1, 2019
*Sandra never makes me feel rushed - takes the time to listen to my concerns.
December 11, 2018
Recently experienced a problem with leg and back pain.Seen, exmined,navigated successfully. The best!
November 11, 2018
Sandra Gibson has been informative, kind, patient and very reassuring throughout all my visits. I feel she understands my disease, MS, and doesn't dismiss the emotional side involved with this disease. Feeling confident in your health care provider is very helpful. Sandra gave me the reassurance and knowledge needed to get through a difficult time. Not only did she address my physical well being, she was just as concerned about my emotional state. She actually takes the time to listen to me and know me on a personal level.
October 2, 2018
With a challenging health history, I'm not a normal or easy patient. This was one of my BEST, First evaluation appointments-EVER!
September 4, 2018
good
August 15, 2018
Sandra Gibson is my provider and she listens to my thoughts, explains my condition throughly, knowledgeable and very specific when doing a physical exam. She puts me at ease allowing me to ask questions and express my concerns. I feel that my health care decisions are made with her not by her.
August 10, 2018
I had an excellent experience with Sandra Gilbert and Dr. Jubelt. They were both easy to talk to, and I never felt rushed through my appointment.
July 31, 2018
*Sandra always takes the time to listen to, address & follow up on my concerns. I never feel like I am being rushed.
July 18, 2018
I felt listened to in the office and a variety of tests were ordered to help figure out what is going on with my health. However, when I arrived home and looked through my tests that I had taken previously, a lot of them were repeats (and the earlier tests were within the normal range). Therefore, unnecessary time and money was spent duplicating tests that were only a couple of months old and didn't show any new information. She seemed quick to seek surgery for carpal tunnel instead of prescribing less invasive measures first.
June 12, 2018
Sandra was absolutely amazing! She set up a plan and relieved my anxiety about my medical issues.
June 5, 2018
FINE
May 30, 2018
Sandra Gibson is an outstanding PA and Provider. I have the utmost confidence in her.
April 24, 2018
This provider was the best provider I have seen in a long time and so was the Doctor. I felt they were very knowledgeable, patient, and what was in my best interest at hand.
March 27, 2018
I have MS. There is no cure. I was in a traumatic car accident in Feb 2016 and I am still in pain. This provider was not being seen for the pain, but for the MS. Her need to control my pain is not what I was seeing her for. I also refuse to take powerful pain opiods, so I did not bring the situation up to her.
March 27, 2018
Sandra Gibson is terrific -- the perfect combination of very smart and very caring. I have a serious medical condition that is currently in remission. She is doing a great job of managing it and keeping me calm through her excellent knowledge and willingness to listen. I would recommend her very highly.
January 29, 2018
Very thorough.
July 26, 2017
Miss Gibson was incredible!!!
July 24, 2017
Sandra Gibson is a great provider. I never feel rushed and she takes the time to listen to all of my concerns.
June 2, 2017
We were right on spot with my medical issues.
April 24, 2017
I thought my care provider was very thorough in her exam of me, and I believed that she is extremely capable in her specialty. She was a bit short of compassion, though when I expressed fear abut the eventual or potential worsening of my disease.
April 20, 2017
She sighed OFTEN. Because of me? Or something else?
March 21, 2017
always explains everything in great detail and spends as much time as needed to go over everything
February 28, 2017
Sandra Gibson, PA is wonderful, and extremely knowledgeable. I was referred by another Neurologist office, and have since changed to Upstate, much having to do with the exceptional treatment I received.
January 19, 2017
sandra Gibson is a great do care provider, she made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions.
