Patient Reviews
Sep 23, 2024
Dr. Gunnarson has been my OBGYN for 9 years. She is caring, knowledgeable, reasonable, and has always taken great care of me. She explains things well and treats your decisions with respect. Dr. Gunnarson oversaw my two pregnancies and delivered my younger baby, along with being my OB when I haven’t been pregnant. She is fantastic.
