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.

I can honestly say there’s not a nicer human on the planet, his people skills, care and knowledge of his craft are second to none. My twins have only seen Dr. Gotthold. I definitely trust his advice and and can see why he is one of the best at what he does.

My kids and I enjoy seeing Dr Gotthold so much that I doubt he ever believes we are sick. Seriously. We always have way too good of a time. Seriously, he is simply the best. We trust Dr Scott just as much. They have different styles, and are complementary to each other—you can’t go wrong here.

Dr. Gotthold has been our pediatrician for over 10 years. He is incredibly kind, excellent with kids and very personable. He always gives you his full attention and will take his time with you to discuss any matter at hand. He is extremely intelligent and regarded highly in the medical community as well. He has given us advise on many matters and has helped our families in many ways over the years. I trust him fully and know that he cares for our 5 children as he would his own. My kids love him!

Dr. Gotthold is an outstanding pediatrician whose cared for our triplet boys for 13 years. I appreciate his thoroughness and the time he takes to answer questions. I also appreciate that he listens to our concerns, no matter how small, with kindness and compassion. My boys really like and trust him. This is a great practice and I highly recommend Dr. Gotthold.

Dr. Gotthold is a wonderful pediatrician. He makes the kids feel at ease, and he always takes the time to talk to the parents no matter what. He does run late at times, but I believe that this is because he never rushes his families out of the office. In this day and age, that is rare.

Dr Gotthold is a nice man, and I like him as a person, just not as my family's health care provider. He has no respect for his clients or their time.
