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.

Dr. G. is a very forthright and knowledgeable physician who's taken lovely care of our 4yo daughter since birth. She handles child moods and tantrums with aplomb, and is generous with her constructive feedback in a helpfully direct and non-judgemental manner. I gain significant peace of mind knowing my daughter will have such a fervent ally to her health and well being as she grows up.

I love Dr. G and all of San Diego Pediatrics. Dr. G is friendly and knowledgeable. She provides my 3 kids with excellent care. She always take the time to address all my questions. I have never felt any question was silly even when calling after hours. Dr. G is intuitive- when my son was in nicu, she reassured me tha he was going to be fine- something I desperately needed to hear. While caring for my girl twin, she helped facilitate communication with the nicu. My 6 yr old loves her too.

I love Dr G. I received her as a doctor when my son with autism has an infection on his foot. I told the staff that he was difficult to work with and I needed somebody who could handle him. She can definitely handle him and all my kids love her. I have 7 children and she sese 6 of them. The other one is 23 and too old for a pediatrician otherwise he would see her too. I love her because she listens to me, she listens to my kids, she is extremely smart and she never second guesses my opinion.
