Robert Gish, MD

I’ve had the honor of being Dr. Gish’s webmaster for the past 2 ½ years. I remain AMAZED month after month — at how charitable he is with his time, energy, and advocacy for viral hepatitis. He is an outstanding person in every respect.

I have HVC and Dr. Robert Gish went above and beyond to help me get approved for the very expensive Harvoni medication. He was positive and caring and gave me hope. He wrote a 3 page letter on my behalf to give to my local gastroenterologist for inclusion with my treatment request for my insurance provider. He also proactively called me periodically to check on my progress. My own gastroenterologist was negative and thought it fruitless to even submit a request. It was Dr. Gish’s positive encouragement that led me to insist my Hepatologist submit the request. Because of Dr. Gish’s letter, I was approved without a single denial. Thank You!!!

Plain and simple, Dr. Gish saved my wife’s life.
Diagnosed with Hepatitis C and liver cancer in 2005, Dr. Gish guided her through
the arduous challenge of liver transplantation. She received a new liver in 2006, but of course the Hep C virus remained, inflicting damage on the new liver.
When interferon treatment failed to clear the HepC virus, Dr. Gish was instrumental
in helping her obtain approval from our insurance company for the new (very) expensive
Hep C drugs. Today she is cured of this nasty disease, and we are so happy to
have Dr. Gish back in Las Vegas, supervising her care.
It is vital to have expert care when battling a complicated health condition.
Dr. Gish is a world recognized authority on liver disease and transplantation. I can’t
emphasize enough the number of correct calls he made during my wife’s treatment.
I had to laugh at the description of Dr. Gish as «arrogant». He is focused on the
patient’s treatment and spends your visit bringing his vast knowledge to bear on
your situation, formulating the best course of action. If you want small talk and
hand holding, look elsewhere, but if you want the best possible care based on
the latest research Dr. Gish is the best of the best.
We are fortunate to have this brilliant physician and the renowned Stanford
Medical Center in Las Vegas.

I want to apologize to all other great Doctors but for our family there is nobody else out there! My father passed away 6 years ago and he was a patient of Dr. Gish. Dr. Gish prolonged his life for a whole 5 years. He will fight for you when everybody else give up or don’t care anymore. He will tell you the truth and will stand by your side. He is a very good Man and an excellent Doctor. All Transplant Doctors across the United States know his name and pronounce it with great respect. This is my first hand experience.
Dr. Gish, knowing you. I don’t think you read Unilocal reviews but if you ever come across these notes I want to say thank you again. Thank you for your devotion and beliefs. You touched our lives and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

I contracted liver disease after a 3 day course of Augmentin, a common antibiotic. My bilirubin was through the roof and I was itching so badly and in so much pain I couldn’t sleep more than an hour a day. Prior to this, I rode my bike over 100 miles a week and was in good shape. I felt hopeless.
Dr. Gish developed a plan of attack for the itching, and he and his great staff gave me hope that I could conquer this thing. Dr. Gish even called my on Christmas day to see how I was doing. He made me feel like I was his only patient, even though I know now he is about the busiest man you ever could meet.
I’m almost over my disease now, but I will not forget the excellent care I received from Dr. Gish and his staff.

I have had the awsome pleasure of working for Dr. Gish. I have found him to be a very kind man who demanded I call him Robert. Very humble person considering all he has done. He is always avaliable via phone or email andI have found his return communication to be very promp.

Dr. Gish is a fabulous doctor. I am in my mid-​20s and have known about a liver disease I have for the past 10 years. I have been with Dr. Gish for the past two years only, and in that time, I have learned so much more about the disease that I have, had tests done that I never knew I should have done… these tests have taught me about other things in my body that could be affected by my liver disease, how to prevent other things from happening as a result, and how to care for my entire body correctly given my condition, not just my liver. Dr. Gish is incredibly knowledgable, takes time to get to know you instead of rushing in and out of the room and making you feel like you’re a nuisance like a lot of doctors do, and cares about EVERY issue I have going on with my health, not just his specialty. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Gish more. And about that review about him being arrogant? That couldn’t be further from the truth – I have seen him many times and never have detected a single shred of arrogance out of him. He truly seems like he cares.

I worked for Dr. Gish for about 4 years and was able to see first hand how he cared for his patients. His knowledge of liver disease is extensive, he keeps up with all the latest information, and is involved in research. I have no doubt he would do anything he could for one of his patients. I think that the other review of «arrogant» is mistaken for a Dr. that is smart, will focus on the disease of his patient, which could be deceiving and mistaken for arrogance.
IF I had a problem with my liver I would certainly want to consult with Dr. Gish.

This guy is one of the most arrogant doctors you will ever meet. His office is unorganized and you have to beg to get an appointment with him. When you do, his office will have lost any lab results that you had at a lab and were to discuss with him. Stay away from this guy and go to someone else!
