Patient Reviews
Aug 06, 2019
In a word: wonderful! I saw Dr. Ertel today (in his Somerville office) for a follow-up visit re my wonky right wrist, and he was so generous with his time and expertise. I love how explains everything with such satisfying granularity, even down to the story of Colles' fracture's namesake. I wish all doctors were like the compassionate and meticulous Dr. Ertel.
