7/12/2022 Alan is very knowledgeable, but I sometimes have concerns he is set in his ways. He doesn't offer advice when an concern about his recommendations is raised. It feels more like "I recommended it so it's the only way to go." And he doesn't provide the care like vaccinations, support staff do that.

2/1/2021 Dr. G is great! I sometimes feel a bit rushed in our wellness exams, but I know he was running behind from a previous appointment and a wellness exam doesn't really need to take a lot of priority/time if the child is doing well. It's a good place where he could make up time if needed.
10/28/2020 Sometimes I want to take about behavioral issues @ the well check, but not in front of my child. Is there a way to do this? Follow up call?
