The following are reviews from patients of J. Christopher Gayton, M.D.

  • “Every aspect of care for my broken ankle experience has been top notch! True caring physician! Dr. Gayton is by far the best doctor I have ever had. Working in the medical field before, those words carry more weight than ever. Truly pleased every visit. Hope to be walking again soon.”
    – Patricia L.
  • “I am very pleased about my experience with Dr. Tupis and the whole Conway Medical System. My left knee was due to have a total knee replacement and I was feeling apprehensive because my memory of my right knee replacement 6 years ago was still very painful in my mind. I also didn't want to affect my ability to enjoy golf and daily activities. I went to a seminar and Dr. Tupis answered all of my questions in a calm and knowledgeable way that truly inspired confidence. Then, the preoperative class answered all of my concerns regarding postoperative discomfort, activity limitations, how to get your physical therapy, and also how to take charge of my recovery. Every person who dealt with me from admissions to preop to surgery to recovery and postop was friendly, attentive, and informative. It helped me to relax and to work with the process. The calls from the ortho office and the hospital after discharge made me feel like a person, not a number. The outpatient physical therapy located under his office was great. They made me feel like my recovery was going as expected and that they were as invested as I was in reaching my goals. They also showed that hanging on to your sense of humor can help stress as much or better than pain medicine. Thanks to the whole team for all your efforts and making my life pain free again.”

  • “Dr Alci and staff are very nice and helpful. He shakes your hand and looks right at you when he walks in! He operated on my back and I feel so much better.”
    – Lynn C.
  • “Dr. Tupis is amazing! I trust and appreciate him so much! I feel is not only my doctor he is also a friend! Would and have recommended him to anyone!  ”
    – Susan H.
  • “So often people aren't told how much they are appreciated. To everyone on your staff, thank you for all that you do.  We were greeted with a smile and left there with well wishes. Your staff was so attentive to my daughter's needs and as well as mine. All questions answered no corner unturned. Richlyn is doing very well and she only used pain meds the first day.”
    – Sheryl W.
  • “Dr. Tupis never seems to be in a hurry to get to his next patient, rather is focused on the one in front of him. He is clear in his diagnoses, prognoses, and alternatives of treatment. It is very refreshing to feel important when with someone who could easily say an operation is the only option, but seems to prefer to avoid it if possible.”
    – William D.
  • “My husband's doctor was Dr. Ramsey and he replaced both of my husbands hips and he's doing great, back playing golf, walking daily and bike riding. So when I started having trouble with my knee I saw Dr. Ramsey and he's been great so far, I will have to have my knee replaced and I don't trust any other doctor to do it except Dr Ramsey. I recommend Coastal to all my friends and it's the only place I'll go!”
    – Suzan G.
  • “Good specialist, awesome staff too.”
    – Kishor S.
  • “Dr. Gayton explained the options available for the treatment of my problem, so that I could make a decision of which way I wanted to proceed. His explanation of he options was very thorough as was his explanation of the recovery process.”
    – David W.
  • “I am very impressed with the quality & care of the doctors at Coastal. (I have also seen Dr. Ramsey.) I feel like Dr. Tupis and Dr. Ramsey both listened to my issues, offered least invasive options first, but explained when and if I should return to consider further options. I never felt rushed nor that my issues were trivial nor was I told that I might just need to live with the pain as part of aging. Thank you so much for offering such wonderful, caring doctors!”
