Dr.Gaynor is an exceptional doctor. I have changed my childs doctor in the past because for poor experiences and after working Dr. Gaynor i feel satisfied that my son is in good care. He listens to your concerns and talks through any matters you may have. His care extends beyond the general practice and he ask questions to aim to understand the complete picture of care/health regarding your child. Lastly, he keeps his patients engaged and entertain which helps a lot for kids that are nervous. About working with doctors and makes the experience a good one. Thank you Dr. Gaynor!

Weve been going to Dr. Yee for a few years and absolute adore him. My daughter actually looks forward to her well visits because hes always made it such a fun and pleasant experience. When my daughter hit certain milestones, such as potty training, shes actually asked me to call Dr. Yee to tell him the good news. Weve seen a few of the other doctors at the practice and theyre all great, they dont rush you, they listen and are attentive, they all provide excellent care. I have never had any issues with front desk, check-in, or wait times. I have been nothing but pleased with our

Front desk are horrible. She didn't answer two times I called and then when arrived said 3 people were in front of us so we went somewhere quick and gave appt away. Made another appt for an hour later and they were an hour late for that. 2 hour wait...will not come back here. I have been taking my kids to Citrus Park office 16 years and no problem there...they are great.

As everyone has said, the doctors are wonderful. This is the ONLY reason I keep going. The front desk staff is dreadful!!! Calling to check in takes at least 30 mins because they do not answer the phone, and then you have to wait for them to be ready. I have 4 children and they won't schedule them together. Now I have to go twice every time I need to schedule a check up or vaccines... the schedule times are extremely inconvenient as well. It's always 8:30 or 11am. Nothing later for a well visit. What is up with that??

My children have been going to Dr. Yee for 17 years, he is amazing! He talks to the children like small adults from birth, he gets them involved in their own health care. I could go on and on about how awesome he is. When I had my third child he made sure to talk with the hospital staff to make sure I and my child had a great experience. My oldest son would be not be with us if it weren't for the doctors at PHCA. You won't find a staff that listens and cares for the parents and children more than them. Hands down best decision we ever made as parents.
