My daughter saw Dr. Gesn today because her regular physician was not available. To any parent considering her as a pediatrician, please reconsider. She is rude, dismissive, devoid of empathy and compassion and thoroughly unpleasant to parent and child alike.

I would never recommend her. At first I thought she was a great Dr. Now we are dealing with CPS. And her claims cannot be supported. She did blood work and hasn't gotten results but has reported that our baby has been drugged. Stay far away.

I LOVE Dr. Gesn. She is friendly and understanding. She takes her time and explains things to you. She does not push her ideas on you, but instead encourages you when you express how you would like things to go with your child. I have never waited over five minutes to see her. I trust her completely with my child and have recommended her to people I know. If my family lived closer, they would switch to her because I have raved about her so much. And my baby likes her too!!! Staff if friendly and professional.
