My experience at South Florida Women’s Care has always been pleasant. All the staff are courteous and efficient. Dr. Gaitan takes her time to review previous visits and address any current issues in a caring and personable manner. Nurse KC is always great at explaining things thoroughly and very efficient. All around great experience with these wonderful ladies.

Dr. Gaitan is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. She always takes great care of me and is always available to respond to all my questions even if they take more time in our visit than planned. She is the best gynecologist. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Gaitan is extremely professional, cares about her patients and always listens to her patients(which I find is very important). During the check-ups, she takes the time to talk to the patient and explains everything that is happening. I am extremely grateful for her, she attended my second pregnancy and I was very pleased with her. Her assistant (Kasey) is also fabulous! I will recommend her 100%
