I was very upset to see the terrible articles that were published in the Bismarck Tribune about Dr. Gale. My wife, Dragana, and I are refugees from Bosnia and are patients of Dr. Gale’s. I was injured by a gunshot wound in 1992 through the right knee, upper hip, and right arm muscle. This was corrected by surgery but unfortunately I lost most of my feeling and functions of my right leg and foot. I have seen several doctors for my problems in the past but no doctor can compare to the service I received from Dr. Gale.

When my wife and I went to Dr. Gale for our first initial visit, I knew right then and there that I had found a doctor that I could trust. Dr. Gale listened very patiently to my wife and I about our problems. He took his time evaluating our conditions. Afterwards, Dr. Gale spoke to us in great detail on which measures he thought would benefit my wife and I. We are very happy with Dr. Gale and the options he presented to us. We followed Dr. Gale’s advice and we are feeling much better.

We feel that Dr. Gale is a very gentle, warm, sincere, and patient man. He would never harm anybody intentionally. He has given us great results, which we did not receive from some of the other doctors that we had seen. He has always treated us with a great amount of respect. If ever my wife and I need anything from Dr. Gale we will not be hesitant to call him as we know he will help us in any way he can.

We feel that suspending his surgical license and the allegations that were brought against him are harsh and unfair. We have spoken with other people who have seen Dr. Gale and they feel the same way as we do. It is a shame that the board has not followed the rules of the Century Code. We have to abide by rules and regulations. Why doesn’t the board follow through with the Century Code? To our understanding, the board members should be changed at least one a year. Why hasn’t this been done? Hopefully, something will be done to clear up Dr. Gale’s good name.

Sincerely,

Zlatko and Dragana Geib
