Dr. Gamble is the absolute best! His knowledge and bedside manner are top notch!! I love that he speaks to my daughter first and me second. He makes sure she fully understands what's going on and watches how she responds to what he is saying; example, my daughter got upset on the last visit due to some frustrations, and Dr Gamble watched as her feelings were becoming visible and acknowledged what he saw her going through. He truly treats body and mind holistically

Dr. Gamble is the best!

Our visit was pleasant. The provider interacted with my child, and that really helped to make my child feel comfortable, safe, and validated. Very down to earth provider that was definitely caring, and informative. I couldn't have asked for a better visit!

Dr Gamble is a great doctor but also a very caring man. He makes my daughter feel like she has a true friend included in her care and makes her feel like she is his only patient! This is extremely comforting for a mom especially a mom who knows how busy and sought after he is. His schedule filling up fast is testament of how lucky we are as parents of patients to have found Dr Gamble to be our child's doctor but also their friend. Thank you for hiring and keeping Dr gamble on staff! We truly feel lucky to have him!
