Dr. Gettleman listened to us and our son. He went to school raving about his doctor! Thanks Dr. Gettleman for your thoroughness and still able to make it fun and not scary.
Dr Gettleman took his time and really talked with my son and i
Dr Gettleman was amazing as usual!
AAA+!doctor great experience
Dr. Gettleman is wonderful! He brings such a nice POV on Autism and we love his kind, human approach. Just lovely!
Dr. Gettlemen was amazing. That was the first time we've seen that doctor and we was caring and funny. Even made my 14 year old laugh, which if you know teens, that's a huge feat. I've been going to this practice with my kids for over 16 years and will continue as we continually receive the best care.
Everyone was so nice and accommodating! Very efficient and clean practice! It was a sick appointment and Dr Gettlemen is not my children's primary pediatrician but he immediately made my children feel at ease and was very helpful and kind. Thank you so much to everyone in the office! From the front staff, to the person who took vitals and Dr. Gettlemen himself it was a great visit!
This was a new doctor for us and the kids LOVED him. He had them giggling and made them immediately feel at ease. I can't say I've had another provider gear care towards my children like he did. I was really nervous about the location change and so many providers leaving, but if we can have him every time, we'll be long time patients.
While I was upset that we had to move things around and go to a different facility I am actually grateful it happened. Because of the circumstances we were able to meet Dr Mark Gettleman and were thoroughly impressed! Dr Gettleman single handily renewed my faith in the medical profession. He is Incredible!
This was our first experience with this doctor and he was fantastic. Listened to all our concerns, was thorough with thoughts and explanations and even spoke directly to my 10 year old. Will request him from now on.
Great doctor my son love his vibes and want to go back soon
I loved the way he connected with my son. Was thorough and explained everything perfectly to me. His bedside manner was amazing!
