I've been a patient of Dr. Durant for 10 years now. Instead of pediatricians, I moved my 3 kids…read moreunder her care as well. She's an amazing doctor at the Bellin Health in Howard. I can't say enough great things about her. When my kids have a doctors appointment, they always make sure it's with Dr. Durant because they like and trust her so much. Dr. Durant is warm, caring, patient, and funny. and goes above and beyond any other doctor I've been to. She's extremely thorough and when she sees something unusual she won't stop searching until she's found the answer. Whenever I see her, it doesn't feel like I'm seeing a doctor, it feels like I'm visiting a friend. I've got a complicated medical history, and she's always making sure I get the care I need. Sometimes I disagree with her suggestions, but when I voice my concerns she not only listens, she also does an amazing job explaining why what she's recommending is something she feels is necessary. She takes an extraordinary amount of time with her patients, and I never feel like she thinks I'm wasting her time when I keep her in the room longer than expected. I also love how accommodating she is. If my daughter has an appointment and there's something wrong with me when I take them, she's always willing to check out my issue after taking care of my kids. I love it because it saves me an extra trip and saves time. Dr. Durant is the best doctor I've ever had. If you're looking for a doctor, I'd definitely encourage you to go to her because I can't imagine anyone else who would be as thorough, caring, patient & devoted to her clients as she has been from the very 1st appointment I had with her and every visit since.

Finding a doctor when you move into a new community can be a little daunting. First of all, going…read moreto the doctor is something that guys tend to avoid for the most part, and I'm no exception in that category. I wasn't happy with the clinic thing where you go in and get treated by the "Dr. of the Day". I mean those work in a pinch when you need something fairly urgent, etc., but if I'm going to work with someone and partner on my health, I want someone that is going to be "my" doctor on a regular basis, that knows my history, and talks to me like an equal rather than acting all superior. Oh, and when I'm not feeling well, I'm not in a joking mood either, so I don't like doctors that act like comedians. Okay, that may have been sharing too much, but you have to understand why I like Dr. Gahl. He is really intelligent, but doesn't act like he has to prove it to you. He is kind and compassionate, while being prompt and efficient at seeing everyone. He has his own private practice and is not aligned with either of the two major hospitals in the area. While most doctors fall into one camp or the other, he works independently and will work with your medical needs at either hospital, your choice. Dr. Gahl has been "my" doctor for years now and I like him. He treats people with respect and is interested in your life, as well as your well being. Be sure to check out his honey that he bottles from his honey bee hobby. He usually has a few bottles for sale at the front desk as well.
