About Ask Gary
In 1996, Gary Kompothecras, D.C., "Dr.Gary," opened one of the first multi-disciplinary medical clinics to help people injured in automobile accidents. Dr. Gary's pioneering vision led to the establishing of a clinic where a team of diverse healthcare professionals collaboratively treated patients. This team, featuring M.D.'s, D.O.'s, Orthopedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Radiologists, Physician's Assistants, D.C.s, Nurse Practitioners, and Massage Therapists, was committed to holistic patient care.
The clinic distinguished itself by integrating advanced medical equipment, a move that significantly improved the ability to diagnose complex injuries. This innovation was crucial for patients, offering them precise diagnoses and effective treatment plans. The combination of medical doctors and chiropractors in the clinic ensured the highest standard of care. Over time, Dr.Gary was able to refine the practice into an efficient and cost-effective way of treating auto accident victims.
Dr. Gary's approach catered especially to those without health insurance, focusing on patients who relied on the $10,000 No-Fault benefits from their Florida automobile insurance. His practice provided these patients with access to quality care and advanced diagnostic tools essential for post-accident recovery.
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 led to the practice becoming the first of its kind to be accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, now known as the Joint Commission. This achievement underscored the clinic's commitment to maintaining the highest healthcare standards.
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.
In response, Dr. Gary established the 1-800-ASK-GARY (1-866-939-4794) accident helpline. This initiative aimed to educate accident victims about their rights and provide them with free access to legal and medical consultations. One of our very first patients was actually an employee who would eventually become well-recognized as "ROZ" in television commercials.
Roz's story, from a patient receiving care to becoming a key figure in the clinic's advertising, exemplifies the genuine impact of Dr. Gary's clinic. Her unscripted, heartfelt narrative in the commercials resonated with viewers, highlighting the clinic's commitment to patient advocacy and education. Dr. Gary trademarked the 1-800-ASK-GARY (1-866-939-4794) name, which is currently licensed to W.S. Media, Inc.
This helpline, managed by W.S. Media, Inc., continues to offer invaluable support to accident victims. Dr. Gary's contribution extends beyond the clinic as he and his companies support various local community causes, demonstrating a commitment to societal well-being.
For over a decade, more than 200,000 people have called 1-800-ASK-GARY for their auto accident and injury needs.
The 1-800-Ask-Gary helpline, available 24/7, stands as a testament to Dr. Gary's unwavering commitment to providing accessible, high-quality healthcare. It remains a vital resource for individuals seeking guidance and assistance in the aftermath of auto accidents.
