    Dr. Gapen is AMAZING!!! I actually switched locations after both My Mom and I had the same opinion on Dr. Gapen when my baby was only weeks old. I had seen someone else at a different clinic who I liked very much! Then For circumcision I scheduled my son with Dr. Gapen. After this, I ONLY, ALWAYS Wanted my child to be seen by Dr. Gapen!!! He is knowledgeable, approachable, genuine, kind, awesome with little kids and adults, both, and he is in my view a TOP-NOTCH pediatric Physician.

    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 was a very caring provider. He gave us 4 reasons to what was going and what each case could be. He explained that he was going to treat with an antibiotic and to use it for 5 days. I loved how he interacted with my son. Dr Gapen is awesome.

    Dr Gapen has been the provider for both my girls since they were babies. Been seeing him for over 13 years. I also was his former medical coder 8 years back. I have nothing but great things to say about him. He shares he is a father himself. He truly takes the time to talk to my children when we visit. Always considerate. When the valley closed we followed him to the south hill as patients even though it is far from us. I love how caring he is with children. And he takes our comments and concerns seriously.
