Dr. Gajewski has seen my daughter many times over the past year and has always been fantastic. He is kind, knowledgeable, and explains things in a way my daughter can understand.

The wait times were beyond ridiculous. I understand that there will be delays in the office. But when you have a 10am appt and don't see a provider until 11:15 that's a problem!

We have really, really appreciated Dr. Gajewski. He always makes us feel like we're an extra special patient. And he has been super at explaining things. And it's just been a really good experience for us.

We expected this to be a standard follow up visit and for things to continue as is, however Dr. G came up with a game plan that included some immediate changes as well as a plan for the future based on how the next appointment goes. We were happy to have a somewhat new plan in place based on our daughter's current state.
