Patient Reviews
Oct 25, 2018
My family members have been Dr. Gifford’s patients since early 90’s when he was practicing in Burbank. Dr. Gifford is not only a great specialist but also has the heart of gold; once when my grandmother was desperately in pain (end of life issues, not an ER case) and her PCP refused to assist, Dr. Gifford waited in his office after hours to attend to my grandmother’s needs until we were able to establish hospice care. Dr. Gifford tried and did everything he could for my grandmother for years!
