Dr. Gritchen is a wonderful pediatrician. She has taken care of my five year old and my 11-month old since they were born. We found her through a friend’s recommendation andfor the past five years we have been driving to Fountain Valley to see her. She was worth the drive. Now she is in Long Beach which makes life so much easier. My older one has asthma which we now can control and the little one is prone to ear infections so we seeher a lot. She is attentive, willing to take the time you need and I never feel rushed out or like I am asking too many questions. Her nurse is also really nice and friendly. No kids like shots and the nurse helps then feel as comfortable as possible, plus there are always stickers afterwards. We are so fortunate to have her in Long Beach now.
