    Dr. G has always shown great involvement in his patients and parents, which is why he's been my son's provider since birth. He is calm, listens to any questions and concerns and has great interactions with my son, involving him in his own care in a clear and respectful way. Any questions we've had or concerns raised about symptoms or treatments have always been addressed in a knowledgeable and clear way, with no pressure to take steps or do anything we weren't 100% sure about.
