Patient Reviews
May 04, 2024
Dr. Gerstenfeld and his team were clearly (very!) the right choice for my cataract surgery. He explained why this developed, treatment options, and most importantly patiently and fully answered every question this very anxious patient had. The same held true on the morning of my procedure. As a healthcare professional myself, I can confidently and completely recommend Dr. Gerstenfeld if you have any eye condition. Your eyes are precious, and I would only trust their care to Dr. Gerstenfeld and his team, period.
