- Cathy m.
Best GP I have ever had. Dr David Childs has been my doctor for over 10 years. He is so patient & kind. He treats me as if I am the only person he has to see & listens to what I have to say no matter how long it takes. He has a real concern for his patients. He has always treated me & my family with respect. He does not act "better than you" like most doctors I have been to in my 60 yrs. I highly recommend Dr Childs if you are looking for a GP to treat you right.
