Gutierrez Elaine, MD

Dr. Gutierrez and her staff are AWESOME! Kind, friendly, and helpful. Love the fact that it’s a small office and not over crowded.

Dr. Gutierrez is awesome! She is very honest and provides great feedback/​advice for new parents like my husband and I. We like her positive attitude and that she gives the children their shots herself as opposed to some nurse doing it. I also like that when she’s out of office, there is an alternate doctor to see her patients. This was great when my son was sick last minute and there was still someone to see him. We’ve been seeing her for 2 years now and will continue to do so.

I LOVE Dr. Gutierrez and I sincerely hope she is still practicing when I have children :) She was my doctor from birth to 18 years and I was crushed when I had to go to an «adult» doctor. I am now 23 and still wish I could see Dr. G! Some of the kids who I babysit go to her as do my cousin’s children. She is the BEST :)

LOOOVE Dr. Gutierrez! She was my pediatrician as well as my sisters and is now my younger brothers’ doctor. Very sad when I turned 18. I didn’t want to leave! I still haven’t found a doctor that measures up. She sets the bar super high :)

Dr. Gutierrez and her staff are AMAZING! I have been taking my two sons to her since the birth of my first and I just love love love her.
To start off, her office is immaculate and bright and orderly. Usually pediatrician offices looks the worse for wear and tear but her office always looks as new as the day I first stepped in. Her turnover on her staff is non-​existent since I’ve been there. Stella and Javita have been there since I first started going there almost 8 years ago. The «new» receptionist Victoria, who is always helpful, has been there for years too. It’s always great to be greeted by staff who have known your children since they were born.
Waiting time is what… like 2 minutes? We are always ushered in from the waiting room speedily. I am always STILL amazed as someone who is used to waiting at my own doctor or dentist’s office for an hour+. The patient rooms are always immaculate and have firetrucks or buses as the examining tables which are so cute. Dr. Gutierrez is always competent and professional and patient. I always marvel at how she can see all her patients in such a timely fashion yet always be thorough with her consultation and her answers to questions. Also, she speaks Spanish which makes my mom and grandma ecstatic, since they can also «participate» in the consultation as they like to do. Dr. Gutierrez also shares her practice with one other doctor. Dr. Barbie Lucas many years ago, and now Dr. Czaplinski. I know both as sometimes they have had to see my kids when Dr. Gutierrez was unavailable, and it has always been such a comfort that always the associate pediatricians have been just as kind, caring and professional as Dr. Gutierrez herself.
My only grief has been that occassionally I have had to visit other pediatricians because my sons have been on state programs and the programs constantly change medical groups, etc. When my sons have had to go elsewhere that has been devastating to me. I consider only Dr. Gutierrez as their pediatrician. Seriously, I get really emotional and anxious when I have to take them elsewhere. It is so upsetting that when my second son was born, I walked out of the state-​assigned pediatricians office and paid cash to go see Dr. Gutierrez for his first post-​birth checkup. I didn’t care about spending the money… I didn’t want the other doctor to touch my baby.
Right now, I have my eldest on a PPO program that I pay out of pocket and although the state would have been much cheaper, I don’t care. I am ecstatic that he can still go see Dr. Gutierrez. My youngest is under a state program since we can’t afford both under the PPO and it seriously turns my stomach to take him to another office. I can’t wait for my husband to be done with school so we can get my little one back to Dr. G.
5 stars all the way for Dr. Gutierrez and her staff!
