Testimonials for Dr. Gazelle’s work:

“Dr. Gazelle provided a true, constant guiding light that my family could count on during my mother's illness. Dr. Gazelle was able to translate the doctor's "medical speak" into language we could understand so we could decide what actions would be best to pursue. She was always available at any hour of the day. Her Harvard expertise was evident. She also showed a level of caring and compassion that showed she cared about all of us -- this clearly wasn't "just a job." We were blessed to have had her guidance.”

“It was a pleasure working collaboratively with Dr. Gazelle in my patient’s care. It would be wonderful if all patients could have someone like her to help them work through their problems and as an extra physician resource.”

“My dad’s stroke was so sudden and a lot of decisions had to be made. Dr. Gazelle was immediately available. She spoke with the neurosurgeon then explained things to us in a way that we could understand. Dr. Gazelle gave me so much comfort that I was making the decisions my dad would want. To think some people have to go it alone, without her unique combination of professional expertise and compassion, is unfathomable. I was able to navigate and ultimately accept an unbearable situation because of Dr. Gazelle.” 

“Your insight was tremendously helpful. We thought we knew what we were dealing with but had never considered the options you thought of. You pointed us in the right direction and we now know the next steps we need to take. My whole family thanks you for your time and expertise.”

“It is always a pleasure working collaboratively with Dr. Gazelle. She is a very skilled and compassionate physician. Her expertise is a great asset to my patients.”

"I have worked with Dr. Gazelle for almost 10 years- she combines her breadth of 20 years of experience in caring for individuals and their loved ones who face life limiting illness with her compassion and communication skills to successfully navigate an often overwhelmingly complex medical system. She is an advocate in the best sense of the word. Not only have my patients benefited from her work on their behalf, but I can also speak from personal experience- she is now helping me through my family member's illness and has given me quite a bit of peace of mind. Thank you Dr Gazelle!"

“When my husband got ill, I had no knowledge of the system and was exhausted and overwhelmed. I panicked and felt like I needed a boot camp on how to handle everything. Thankfully, Dr. Gail Gazelle was there for us as a personal advocate. Dr. Gazelle put us on the right track, gave us sound advice, a lot of support and helped us every step of the way. She was truly a Guide on the Side.

It’s the reassurance that you have an advocate. Dr. Gazelle took the technical stuff off our plate, so I could focus on my husband. She was available to us anytime we needed her. She would immediately respond to all our questions and needs. I knew I could call her at any point.”

"When my sister had cancer, we were both overwhelmed. The ebooks are simple and easy to read. They help to calm things down. We were handed so many things but Dr. Gazelle's tips were the ones that made a difference."

“Dr. Gazelle:  Just wanted to shoot off a quick message to you and let you know that I was speaking to a new potential client yesterday who will be admitted to the hospital for surgery in the coming week.  She expressed concern for the hospitalization stay, the procedure, the follow up, etc. and we began to discuss your booklet.  She thought that it was very helpful and insightful and requested that I send her a copy.  It was a very helpful tool and allowed us to discuss further the need for advocates and the SeniorBridge model to assist in the coordination of care and the navigation of the healthcare maze. We are so pleased to be using your booklet with our clients.”
