Dr Gellner is the best pediatrician in the whole University of Utah health organization.

Cynthis Gellner is an amazing doctor and has been the doctor for my 4 kids for 11 years. We all love her.
She was calm and reassuring, which was helpful because my son was very panicked about his injury.
Extremely helpful and insightful and has my utmost respect being my children's family doctor thank you for everything
Dr. Gellner always remembers us. She is thorough, knowledgeable and efficient. We are well taken care of with her.
I 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.
