I love watching babies grow and develop into healthy children and, ultimately, young adults. I am grateful to teach and emphasize preventive health care, and am humbled by what my patients and their parents teach me!

Dr. Gapen gives fantastic info. These days I feel most doctors don't verbalize their diagnosis or explain their treatment but Dr. Gapen takes time to explain and treats us all with dignity.

Dr. Gapen gave us new information at this appointment, about {patient name removed} needing a scan at 5-6 weeks old. For possible hip dysplasia due to being breech in the womb for so long.

Dr. Gapen and his nurse, Kate, are both fantastic! They are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Gapen knows his stuff, but, unlike some other doctors, he does not let that get in the way of really listening and considering what the parent is saying about their kid.
