Patient Reviews
Dec 06, 2023
Dr. Gelber was top notch and saved my husband's life. Without his experience and knowledge he would not be here with us today. His bedside manner and patience while explaining everything to us was amazing! The follow up care after brain surgery was amazing and his bedside manner and attention to our concerns was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this doctor and his team.
