This is my first visit with Dr. Gimpel. I was pleased to see that he had fully researched my history, and was able to answer my questions about statins, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular issues. He took the time to explain to me why I should be taking statins, as I had many questions from what I had heard, especially the misinformation. I am taking statins now because Dr. Gimple was able to fully explain the benefits. Overall, I am very pleased with my visit with Dr. Kimball. The visit was a benefit, and I have a overall better understanding of statins, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular questions I had to continue my healthful journey.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kenneth Barr for ten years. When Dr. Barr retired at the end of the year, he told me he was going to recommend Dr. Stephen Gimple as my new cardiologist. I recently had my first yearly checkup with Dr. Gimple and found him most personable and helpful. It was apparent that he had studied my records from Dr. Barr as we reviewed the last ten years. He listened to my concerns and gave me my options and what he recommended. He also reassured me of the statical reality for any future issues. I left his office feeling that Dr. Barr had left me in excellent hands and would highly recommend Dr. Wimple to any friends.
