Patient Reviews
May 09, 2020
I want to say give a huge thank you to Dr. Gertser for her professionalism, attention and hard work. I have never had a doctor show me such attention and care. I was going through a bought of Diverticulitis during the COVID19 Pandemic and her office was closed as were all other doctors ‘ offices. She gave me her personal number and I was calling her day and night with concerns she always answered the phone and never once complained about the amount of times I called her. I am truly grateful to her and all her advice, I would recommend Dr. Gertser to any of my family and friends. You will be in great hands when you see Dr. Gertser.
