Patient Reviews
May 09, 2023
For a person who avoided/dreaded doctors, Dr. Gaertner put me at ease and was very professional. Although I knew I should've dealt with my issue sooner, I never heard that from him or any of his staff. He was very kind, explained everything, and answered any questions. Thankfully, my end results were good and I only require future monitoring. I highly recommend Dr. Gaertner and the entire team.
