Testimonials from patients of Dr. Cekada

I am soooo glad that she did not make me go to the ER when I described my symptoms for a heart attack. I thought it was a long shot and also thought that most docs would err on the side of caution.

As her patient, sometimes it can be as simple as stress or as serious as cancer and she treats each visit just as important. Iqf I read or have question about a medical condition, Dr. Cekada will always have information for me. I feel important to the doctor.

from Elaine in CA March 7, 2018 for Gayle Cekada, MD

Dear Dr. Gayle,
We are so grateful to have you for our doctor! Your expertise and compassion make difficult health issues more tolerable. We actually consider you more than just our doctor, but also our friend. You have been there for us right here in SLO but also across the state in Roseville, CA and across the world in New Zealand! We would like to commend Chantel also....she is great… See more

from Linda in CA March 7, 2018 for Gayle Cekada, MD

Dr. Cekada is amazing! She caught my valley fever early -- when it's difficult to diagnose and easiest to treat. Without her diligence, follow-up and expertise I would have been much sicker. Thank you, Dr. Cekada, for being there for me!

from Betty in CA March 5, 2018 for Gayle Cekada, MD

Ive been so blessed to have Dr. Cekada as my physician. She diagnosed me with an active heart attack in her office. (I thought I breathed too many cleaning products) and I was sent to the ER. She cares about me, and her patients, she listens, shes a great motivator. She is wonderful to her staff. Im so greatful for her expertise, I trust her completely.
