Cecil Gandia, certified physician assistant

"Both of my children are competitive gymnasts, so I am no stranger to athletic issues and injuries. As a mother, I know how stressful it is when your child is sick or injured, so I love being able to provide great service at CHKD Urgent Care. It is a true privilege to take care of people during some of their most vulnerable moments and offer them the best care possible."
