Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Good doctor and mom
Dr Gilford is dedicated to her job, listens carefully to all things I am share about my daughter and gives motherly and professional advice. I'm sure my baby loves her as she knows how to treat little ones that they feel comfortable.

Refused to Administer Vaccine
When my teenage daughter was under Dr. Gelford’s care, she refused to give my daughter the vaccine for HPV prevention. She refused because she said it promoted promiscuity! Needless to say, I changed pediatricians.

I wish I could give this doctor zero. I've never had a pediatrician with more of a God-complex than this woman. My daughter had a *diaper rash* and she tried to diagnose it as MRSA! Then she tried to diagnose my petite daughter with failure to thrive, COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that her entire genetic lineage is petite. She is demeaning and disrespectful if you question her, she accused me of neglecting care for my child. Ordered unnecessary traumatic tests then refused service when I refused.

I can never seem to actually schedule an appointment with her when my kids are actually sick. The only times we get in to see her is for a wellness visit, but when my children are sick we are always told to go to urgent care. Seems kind of pointless to have a doctor that can't ever see your kids if they are sick...
