Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2023
Dr. Gertler is knowledgeable and patient. I never felt any tests were just status quo but that there was a purpose in doing them which I understood. He was not quick to put me on statins, but considered all factors before deciding not to have me take them. I had had aching when taking them before.
