    If I could rate Dr Girdler higher, I would. He is by far one of the best physicians I have seen. Very knowledgeable, explains things well, listens, asks if I have questions, no judgement, approachable. I really feel that he is a partner in my care, and I think that has impacted my success in making a huge lifestyle change.

    He had actually read my record before I saw him. He was aware of past medications I tried. He was personable. I never felt judged or dismissed. He too is someone you should be glad is your employee.

    I had never had my dietary situation explained in a way that really made sense to me before. I'm not sure why it never made sense to me, but the way Tyler explained it really stuck and I'm actually excited about implementing it.

    Transcription software repeatedly misgendered me. One section of the clinical notes left simply did not happen. I understand the doctor's reason for not including this section in my appointment, but it appeared to be copy and pasted from a standard appointment summary or generated by AI.

    Dr. Girdler is an excellent physician and I highly recommend him for any kind of patient care.

    Unfortunately, Dr Gridler is moving to another specialty clinic that does not meet my needs. I will miss him as my primary care provider. He was responsive and professional and I had a complete comfort level with him at all times during the past three years of care.
