Gorton Nicole MD

We love Dr. Gorton!!! She is the best Pediatrician in the world. I totally trust her with my children. She is extremely friendly and professional. A lovely person who deeply cares for her patients as if they were her children. At one point we moved 50 miles away, but rather we drove several times over than to give her up. Dr. Gorton talks with the parents at length answering all and ANY concerns. She never rushes an appointment. It is always a delight to go see her. Also, she talks to the children to get their input on how they feel.
As far as professional practice, we have four children and visited her over 20 times. Not once was she ever off on a diagnosis. Not once my children suffered more than necessary. She visited/​examined our two new borns at the Hospital (after delivery) even on her off days to make sure they were ok. She exhibits an incredible amount of due diligence, without making your child go through unnecessary discomfort. Dr. Gorton never takes chances. More importantly she is never off. I would not give her up for a million dollars.
I could never describe in words just how invaluable she is. She is priceless in every sense of the word. We love her as our family.

Dr. Gorton, quite frankly, is the best pediatrician in existence. My son has been with her since he was 6 or 7. He is now 16. She treats him with dignity and respect. She remembers his name. She asks pertinent questions. She cares. You can see it in her every action and word. I trust her with my child’s life.

The five stars is just for Dr. Gorton. She is a really nice person. I really like how she remembers us and is sincerely interested in our welfare.
As far as Scripps goes, they really suck. They have NEVER been on time for my appointment. The last appointment I had, I was there 15 minutes early and they didn’t call us in until 30 minutes after our appointment time. That is a regular occurence. They have NEVER been on time with my appointments.
I also used to have all kinds of problems with the billing. Some of the issues took about a year to resolve which included multiple calls to the insurance company and Scripps. It was their mistake everytime. They changed the way they bill now and so far, so good.
I have almost switched doctors a couple of times because of the problems mentioned above. But I really like Dr. Gorton.
Oh yeah, it sucks to pay for parking too. They don’t validate the parking tickets long enough. It might be long enough if they were on time, but since they are always late, I always pay for parking.

Dr. Gorton is a gem. My children have been with her for years and she is consistent in her care. She is thorough and takes her time with appointments. She talks to both the parent and child. My children love her.
I highly recommend her.

Wow! I can’t believe I am the first person to review Dr. Gorton.
We have been with Dr. Gorton since my oldest son, 10 years old, was born. She has a pleasant demeanor, she asks appropriate questions and she takes the time to listen to the parents as well as the children.
We usually only see her twice a year, once for each child’s wellness check-​up. Once in a while someone will need a visit in between check-​ups. When we go to see her, Dr. Gorton acts like she is so happy to see us. She remembers the sports my kids are in, the school they go to, and how they are doing in school. We even ran into her at Knott’s Soak City one time and she stopped and introduced us to her family.
