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.

He knew right away that when I came from the ER, I needed emergency surgery. He spent several hours overnight doing my surgery to decrease the amount of damage that I could've had on my spinal nerves. From what I learned now, if it had not been for Dr. Gerber doing my emergency surgery, I might have been unable to walk, been incontinent, or may have many more health problems. He was so assuring and gave me much hope. Even when I was at a rehabilitation hospital for recovery, He gave me a visit there to see how I was progressing. This has been over 10 years ago but I am still grateful for what he has done. Thank you Dr. Gerber!

Thank you Dr Gerber! I can walk again! After 6 agonizing months from a herniated disc, you did an exceptional job on my surgery. Thank you so much. His bedside manner was calm and patient and he thoroughly explained everything going on with my spine and best of all, did not push or pressure surgery whatsoever if I didn't want it. I'm so happy with the results. I'd highly recommend him, this was my first surgery experience and I was very nervous, but I would absolutely choose Dr Gerber again if I needed to.

Smart, honest, talented and caring. Can't say enough good things about Dr Gerber. I had a misdiagnosed back problem that was agonizing. Went to him for a second opinion. He read the previously mis-read MRI, I had surgery 3 days later, and woke pain free! Went home the next day. I know several others with similar stories. There are other great surgeons in Hawaii. But honestly, you will not find better than Gerber.

He is very thorough in explaining what procedure he needs to do. Dr. Gerber is very gentle and has excellent bedside manner. All my pains and discomfort were gone when I woke after surgery. Need I say more?
