We couldn't have asked for a better visit with Dr. Gajewski and the entire staff around him. After a very tough week, we are so thankful to have been so well cared for and affirmed in caring for our family.

He was very professional, answered all our questions and concerns and explained everything to us in a way that he made sure we understood what was going on.

Dr. Gajewski was very, very, very wonderful during our very trying time. Me and my son, we've never dealt with anything like this before. And just from the very beginning, he doesn't know us, we don't know him. He just has been a really wonderful person throughout our whole process. And I am really grateful for him. He was very understanding, very kind, very patient. He answered all of our questions. My son, who doesn't talk to a lot of people, was very comfortable with him. He would be like almost excited to go see him so he can ask him questions. So it was a wonderful experience, a very dark time. So thank you, Dr. G. And thank you to the staff, because all the rest of the staff were good too. But thank you, Dr. G.
