Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Pediatrician EVER
My 13-year-old has had stubborn (and painful!) warts on her feet for a long time. We had several visits with our old pediatrician who tried to freeze them - no results. We then went to a dermatologist every three weeks for over a year for a more aggressive and more painful freezing - again, no results, despite the $300 charge per visit. We finally went to Getzwell Pediatrics. Dr. Getzelman recommended a prescription ointment. Affordable and pain-free. About 6 weeks into it, the biggest wart cluster is starting to fall off. My daughter may yet be comfortable wearing flip-flops again. And that's just one example. Dr. Getzelman - and her entire team of providers - are committed to getting to know your child and your whole family. They treat root causes, not just symptoms, and are right there with you every step of the journey of raising a healthy, well-adjusted child.
