Dr. Heidi Gamboa, DO

I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one today. Simply put, if Dr. Heidi Gamboa treats her patients and parents as she treated me and my daughter, I am unsure how she stays in business. The doctor was very disrespectful and borderline. After only a few minutes of conversation and almost without seeing my daughter, she abruptly left the room, leaving behind the paperwork she brought in and without informing us whether she was finished or if we should wait. After waiting for several minutes, the nurse arrived with a medical release form. Following another extended wait, the nurse returned and informed us that we could leave. Most alarming was the doctor’s response when asked whether a test or exam could be done to assess gut health. Her answer was that no such test or exam exists to determine if a person’s gut is healthy. Overall, it was a horrible experience, and it felt that she treats her patients preferentially.

We have been beyond impressed with Dr. Heidi Gamboa! My daughter developed abdominal pain and an increased sensitivity to a growing list of foods over an 18 month period. We started with our pediatrician who then referred us to 2 different specialists, both disappointing. On recommendation from a family friend, we we able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Gamboa. Our first appointment surpassed any expectations. I think what stands out most to me is the reaction of my 14 year old daughter. She really felt listened to and respected as an active participant in her diagnosis and treatment plan. I observed Dr. Gamboa taking copious notes, processing, and asking follow up questions. She did not rush us in any way. We came away with a viable plan and a sense of hope. Dr. Gamboa is compassionate, tenacious, and extremely knowledgeable. Excellent provider!

Dr Hagerott is fantastic and took time to make sure that my son was comfortable and understood what was going on as well as taking time to make sure I understood everything. She is very personable and is super easy to work with and just wants to see her patient get better. We are sad to see her leaving our clinic.
