Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.September 28, 2024WESTRIDGE HEALTH CENTERI took my son in for his 2 day checkup. She made me feel like I wasn't taking care of my son. She made me feel awful about things the hospital did, saying I should have never let them do that. This is my first living child and I left feeling less than adequate to care for my child. She made assumptions instead of asking for more details on feedings stating I wasn't letting my baby finish breastfeeding and that's why he had lost so much weight. I went to see a different provider after who stated his weight loss is middle ground and not to be worried as infants usually use weight but was within a nor.al range. I will not be taking my child back to this provider.

May 15, 2024WESTRIDGE HEALTH CENTERShes the best! she's been all my kid's doctor. I moved to Vineyard but I will still be driving to see Dr. Gellner because I feel like she just really knows what she's talking about. I've been to other doctors that I felt like they were wrong, or they gave my kids to strong of medicine. but she's always done us right. I wish she could be my doctor too.

May 01, 2024WESTRIDGE HEALTH CENTERCindy is the best pediatrician. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. In addition, she takes the time to listen and takes a look at the whole child. I would highly recommend her.
