The doctor and the intern were wonderful to us and we greatly appreciate that!
Physician is awesome. Would have liked though to see her interact more one on one with my child. Previous physician did and would get on the ground and talk to my child at his level, would ask him all types of questions, etc. Dr. Guttentag is awesome but would have liked to have seen more interaction between physician and patient. She is always sweet and patient with us. She does ask me all kinds of questions about my child and takes her time with us. I do appreciate that.
Great
No comments. Excellent.
My time with Dr. Cathy Guttentag has been awesome. It had been [...] months of her being my son's psychologist. And, he gives me the right directions. (INAUDIBLE) is an amazing doctor and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much. Hopefully, see you later. Bye.
