I love my doctor. The nurses and staff at pine forrest is all top notch. The only reason I didn't give them a 10 was the NOVANT billing office at corporate. They are extortionists.

Dr. Gerrard is an excellent physician. Overall the staff at Pine Forest are very professional and courteous.

Called two days after my appointment to have the results explained to me from the blood test. I have not been contacted as of this time.

Great Doctor, great nurse, great staff. Doctor Girard is the best!

I am very pleased as always. The Dr. and all the staff are professional and caring. I couldn't be more satisfied.

As always, Novant provides fast, professional and individually tailored services. Dr. Girard is always informed attentive and extremely helpful. I use the old adage "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Novant needs to continue to provide the level of care and services it currently provides. Any changes would probably lower the actual level of service and decrease costumer satisfaction.

Dr. Girard takes the time to answer any and all questions. He follows up as appropriate and does not rush the appointment.

Dr Girard is the best and we are fortunate to have him as our primary care physician. We love this office and are grateful for the professionalism and kindness.

Everyone was curious and helpful, very little wait time and follow up the next day! Dr Girard, his nurse and staff are a great team!

Dr. Girard and his team always do an outstanding job. I'm a tough grader, but I give an A+ to the team providing my care.

Very happy with my Dr and his staff!!

I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Girard as my physician. His genuine care for his patients promotes confidence and an understanding that one’s health will be addressed in a highly professional and skillful manner. He is a fantastic listener and addresses any concern or question that his patients have. I found the office staff to be friendly and efficient. The nurses respond promptly to review one’s health history, ensure all records are accurately recorded and taking vital signs. Great patient care by the entire staff.

Doctor Girard was not prepared for the visit. He had not read the information provided to him by the referring doctor prior to our visit. He relied on us for that information then seemed unhappy when we had follow up questions. Also his lack of enthusiasm was palpable.

Love my doctor.Very caring

Dr. Girard is easily the best hcp i have had the privilege to meet.

My experience at the Novant clinic and with a Dr Girard and his staff has been consistently excellent. Dr. Girard is personable, caring and thorough. The staff is professional and friendly.

The staff is excellent, from checking in to the nurse getting background information to the actual visit with the doctor. They all seem to enjoy their job and that has not been my experience with other doctor's offices. Not only were they polite and supportive but they were very knowledgeable. I felt like every concern and question I had was addressed professionally and I didn't feel apprehensive about asking them about anything.

Treat with high respect

Dr Girard listened carefully to my concerns about my health, and addressed each of them. After getting the results of my lab work, he called to discuss it with me…it was early Friday evening when he called…I’m assuming he would have preferred to be home with his family.

It was wonderful to have the doctor take the time to listen to my questions and concerns.
