I have children with asthma, one who was a preemie, sleep apnea, and some other issues. We have seen many doctors and have been extremely pleased with Dr. Gorum.

She spends time listening and has a conversation with you about what the best plan of action is if needed. I trust her completely. She is an extremely intelligent woman who truly partners with parents to help support their children.

In a matter of DAYS, she had gotten us in with the specialists we needed to see. Within two weeks we had a diagnosis and are currently working on a plan of action for dealing with my daughter's condition. Throughout the process she has been supportive and dealt with issues and questions quickly and thoroughly. She's a good communicator and has been vital in organizing all the information coming from the various specialists. To top it off, she's great with the kids, down-to-earth, and friendly!

Our primary physician is Dr Marsico, and she is an incredibly skilled, compassionate and informative doctor and we feel fortunate to have our two boys (six and four) seeing her. The way she connects with the kids during appointments, explains medical issues in easy to understand ways, and proactively offers other resources, classes and information to us makes her a true pleasure to have on our team caring for our children.

She helped guide my teen emotionally and physically during a very vulnerable point in her life. Dr. M recognized when another specialist was appropriate and connected us with other great resources, diagnosed issues correctly, and acted as an advocate for my kid. Don't let her sweet nature fool you - she's as smart as a whip, connects well with teens (which is important in terms of getting straight answers from them), and respects their privacy by asking parents to step out. I'm SO glad we found her. Great person to boot.

Dr. Dave is a very smart, knowledgeable, caring, and respectful Doctor who has been practicing…read morefamily medicine for over 50 years. In his office, he has an Ultrasound machine, a microscope, and some other medical instruments. He can always know what is going on with the patient based on objective & subjective findings and his 50+ years of experiences, and so offer proper advice or options based on the patient's individualized conditions. Timely best possible referrals have saved many people's lives because he knows very well where to direct the patient to go for their further care and treatment. BTW, your heart won't break after you get the bill. The charges are extremely reasonable. His staff, Andrea and Monica, are warm-hearted people who love to help people as well. I know this because I have been in this office for a few years practicing Chinese medicine, providing acupuncture and related services. Just give you a couple of examples: Dr. Dave found my patient's huge tumor with his ultrasound machine upon her first visit and offered her a timely & best possible referral so my patient got very well taken care of; he spent hours and hours trying to find a super specialist who can really solve another patient's very difficult problem in his budget; ... Dr. Dave works beyond office hours everyday. He may follow up with patents, making referrals, talking with his colleagues ... . Even when the patient himself gives up and becomes hopeless, he doesn't. He is trying to work out a solution for everyone no matter how difficult the problem is. I highly recommend Dr. Dave. I sincerely wish he can work until at least 100 years old and can see more patients!!!

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us. He's made a big positive impact on my family.
