We chose to bring our son here after meeting with Mike towards the end of my pregnancy. In our meeting he spoke about being a holistic based practice and supporting parents decisions in their child’s health care. At our 1 month appointment we saw Marcelle, she was great until the end. We had a screen done on our son that came back positive and she wrote it off as probably being a false positive and not to worry but would send us referrals for a specialist. We waited a few days for that referral and it never came. I had to reach out to get it, and turns out it was not a false positive and we were so caught off guard after telling us not to worry about it. Then at our 2 month appointment, we saw Mike. At the end of the appointment he asked if we were doing shots and I said no, not at this time and that’s when his whole demeanor flipped. He began his fear mongering speech and telling me I am going to kill my baby by denying or postponing these shots. He came at me as if I am dumb, which I am not - I am also in the medical field and have done extensive research in this area, which he should have known if he actually listened when I told him what I do for work. After he realized I wasn’t going to change my mind, he couldn’t get out of the room fast enough and was so rude and arrogant. I was in disbelief as this is completely opposite of what he preached in our consult with him a few months prior. After speaking with friends who also take/have taken their kids here, they stated that the providers that actually practice holistically and support parent’s choices have since left the office and agreed they all had similar experiences with Mike. We really wanted to love this place, but after that experience we chose to not bring our son back here.
This doctor was great. She offered us a lot of great information through our ambivalence to get our child vaccinated. We felt very connected and value during our appointment. We are excited to continue to experience this great quality of care.
I LOVE GHT. I will become my own doctor before taking them anywhere else. Everyone is patient and kind. I would recommend to anyone bringing their kids here!
We’ve been bringing both of our kids to GHT for years now and have no plans to change. A welcoming environment with great staff who provide exceptional care.
GHT is amazing, I am glad we found them. The Nurse practitioners and staff are very friendly and great with kids. I love that they have holistic options to care for our children. Unfortunately, they no longer take our insurance, but we are still bringing ours. Places like this are not easy to find. We drive a little over an hour for appointments and I think its definitely worth it.
