Review for Dr. Gwynn
Dr. Picco always rushes through the appointments, doesn’t answer questions, and makes you feel like you are on an assembly line. I have not had issues so have seen her for annual exams for 5 or so years. However, this time she broke my IUD during removal process, yelled at me, and I never saw her...

My experience with Dr. Smalheiser has been great. He explains things, listens and treats me like I have a brain, which isn't always common in the medical profession. Highly recommended

Dr. Norcross is an absolutely wonderful doctor. Not only is he a a great surgeon but he has a very good ability to listen and explain. I can not recommend him enough. So happy we crossed paths.

Dr. Koch did nothing to help my husband. Dr. Koch saw him on a Tuesday morning and he died in the early morning hours on Friday.
