Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible, Pompous Doctor!
Gave a diagnosis based on no testing at all, just symptoms that can be related to several things. Terrible bedside manner! Didnt answer any questions. Just kept repeating himself and acting as if I shouldn't question anything he says. Pompous and an ego maniac! Actually stated I didn't have something that was on record I was diagnosed with! I wouldn't let this man anywhere near you!

He prescribed medication that I was allergic to for my post surgery recovery I responded very bad ended up back in the emergency room. The physician at one point even argued with me that I wasn't allergic to the medications even though that was the first time he'd ever seen me as a patient. Their office is slow and they do not respect the time of the patient, zero bedside manner. Use a different physician!

Had 2 surgeries with Dr. Gerber. The 1st one was so painful I knew something was wrong. On the 2nd one which was corrective surgery he never explained things and the pain I described to him was one of a abscess, I even told him it felt like a cyst. He commented that it may be a abscess, still he never treated me for it. Had to be referred to another Dr by then it was so painful and infected I had to have 3 major painful surgeries back to back to back. He’s the worst.
