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.

Does Dr Gayle still have photos of the children that he would post on his board in his Office? He was my Sons Pediatricion 39 yrs ago, and he was the best!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gale?
This grumpy old jerk should not be in pediatrics. He is not good with children. He is not good with people in general. He traumatized my son to do his physical by making us pin him to the table to check his ears. He scolded us for feeding him a snack before he needed to check his mouth. He was not helpful when we asked for a referral for behavioral therapy, we were told to ask the nurses. The nurses simply told us the doctor didn't order anything. We left without our referral. Fire him.
