    By far, the best pediatrician we have seen. He treats my children like humans and talks to them and not just me. Wonderful demeanor, fantastic with children and attention to detail.

    Alan was willing to see us with no notice due to a scheduling mistake, he saw my daughter as a first time patient and was attentive, compassionate, listened, worked with us and predicted possible complications and helped us understand how to overcome them. Basically everything we could want in a doctor.

    Very friendly, great with my kid. He explained things very clearly, and talked to my kid not just me.

    He has always been extremely helpful, kind, a good listener, he takes his time with us and I’ve never felt rushed, and he makes my kiddos feel comfortable and always explains everything to them. My kids like going to see Dr G and I think that says it all!
