We have a special needs daughter who is 58 years old. Dr Gates ALWAYS talks TO HER and includes her in every conversation/treatment. She treats her with such respect, kindness and compassion. She also is so kind, patient, professional and knowledgeable. We all just love her. I wouldn't have anyone else for our precious daughter. My husband also has her for his pcp and is very satisfied. We are so thankful we found her in our search for a family Dr. I highly recommend her.
