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.

Wellness check-up
Dr. Gifford seemed very annoyed in our visit today. She did not act like she wanted to be at work or answer simple questions in regards to concerns. She had very short retorts for answers to questions.

Best Peds Ever
We recently moved away, but saw her for 8+ years before that. One kid since birth, one kid since age 3. Note my children have allergies, sensitivities and other medical issues, some of which require medications daily. She's absolutely the best Pediatrician ever and we wish to find someone like her again! Listens to concerns, from both Mom and children themselves, listens to a Mom's gut instinct and is willing to order tests or referrals for said instincts to be explored further. Doesn't push things on you and is not shy to order testing and referrals as stated above. Highly recommend!

I don't understand the poor ratings. She has been caring, sympathetic, and knowledgeable. She's been great with our son.

Wish I could rate a zero. Didn’t even acknowledge the rash on my baby’s neck. Acted as if it was perfectly normal. Always over an hour late to all 3 appointments I’ve had with her. On top of everything, she miscommunicated which vaccines i wanted and gave my child 2 vaccines I declined.
