Biography of Ask Gary In 1996, Gary Kompothecras, D.C., "Dr.Gary," opened one of the first multi-disciplinary medical clinics with the purpose of helping people injured in automobile accidents. This marked the beginning of a new era in medical care, where Dr. Gary brought together a diverse team of healthcare experts to address the comprehensive needs of auto accident victims. His clinic's staff, which grew to include M.D.'s, D.O.'s, Orthopedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Radiologists, Physician's Assistants, D.C.'s, Nurse Practitioners, and Massage Therapists, worked collaboratively to aid in patient recovery. More innovation was to follow. Dr. Gary's clinic took a leap forward by incorporating advanced medical equipment. This technological progression enabled the team to diagnose injuries that traditional physical examinations often overlooked. Patients benefitted from more accurate diagnoses, moving beyond general assessments of soft tissue injuries. The synergy of medical doctors, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and chiropractors under one roof elevated the standard of care to its highest quality.
Over time, Dr.Gary was able to refine the practice into an efficient and cost-effective way of treating auto accident victims. Understanding the challenges faced by patients without health insurance, Dr. Gary tailored his services to be accessible to those reliant only on the $10,000 No-Fault benefits from their Florida automobile insurance. This innovative approach ensured all patients received top-tier care and access to advanced diagnostic tools post-accident.
For Dr.Gary, the patients who have entrusted their medical care to Physician's Group, LLC are and always have been the priority. His dedication to quality care culminated in his practice being the first of its kind to receive accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, now known simply as the Joint Commission. This accreditation signifies a gold standard in healthcare, highlighting the clinic's commitment to excellence. After many conversations with patients, it became apparent to Dr.Gary that they were often not aware of the health care benefits linked to their automobile insurance. This observation led to the creation of the ASK GARY (1-866-939-4794) accident helpline, a service dedicated to informing accident victims of their rights and offering free consultations with attorneys and doctors. This initiative has been instrumental in helping countless individuals understand and access the care they need.
One of our very first patients was actually an employee who would eventually become well-recognized as "ROZ" in the television commercials. Roz's journey from a patient receiving care for an accident injury to a key figure in the clinic's television campaign is a powerful testament to the quality of care at Dr. Gary's clinic. Her story shared in an unscripted and authentic manner, has resonated with many, offering hope and clarity to those in similar situations.
