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.

Terrible bedside manner
My 6 y/o son saw Dr. Gunay today for the first time. She was not friendly with either my son or myself- she wasn’t interested in building a rapport with us in the slightest. She was blunt, rude and frankly inappropriate. I would not recommend her to anyone who is looking for a warm, approachable and knowledgeable pediatrician.

Dr Gunay takes time to connect with my kids but even more so since they have become teenagers. She encourages then to advocate for themselves. She gives them resources and ideas about how to be healthy and make lifelong choices.

Dr Gunay is the best. We couldn’t be happier. Today, for example, even though she was more than booked and behind schedule, she was able to fit us in to urgent treat my daughter’s bee sting allergic reaction instead of sending us to the ER. Can’t recommend her enough.

I’ve been taking my kids to Dr Gunay for over a decade now and we all think she’s fantastic. She’s very thorough and has a great bedside manner. She addresses all your concerns without ever making you feel like she’s in a rush to get on to the next patient.

Dr. Gunay and all of her staff are always very kind, accommodating, and exceptionally patient. Dr. Gunay is very thorough in explaining conditions and giving instructions for treatments/medications, she makes the whole process very easy. She has been my 3 kids' doctor since birth, and I wouldn't take them to anyone else!
