    This was my 4th time to see Dr. Gladstone, including Initial referral and follow-ups over several years. She exudes competence and experience, and Is always thorough, attentive, compassionate and reassuring. She always recalls the history of the condition I see her for and has my file in hand for reference. At every visit I've felt heard and respected, and that I've received excellent care.

    She's been super helpful in facilitating appointments with Dr. Wallin. I really appreciate that. She's also very approachable and explains things in a way that is easy to understand.

    Dr. Gladstone was phenomenal. While I never hope to have an issue that requires surgery with her expertise, she made the entire unpleasant experience as enjoyable as it can be

    Dr. Gladstone is very efficient with my appointment time. She took time to take my history and asked pertinent questions, explained in detail about the surgery & post-op recovery. She didn't sugar-coat the difficult recovery due to pain, pros-cons, etc. (which I appreciate) and she answered many of my questions and worries. She made me feel at ease and confident for my upcoming (painful) surgery, and her team is easy to reach for communications and questions. All and all, I feel confident with her judgement and expertise.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Gladstone and this visit. She had a PA observing and so explained things as she went, which was also nice for me to hear. I am a physician, and she treated me with respect and care.
