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.

THEE BEST!!!
I was in extreme pain for several years radiating through my hips and down my legs, numbness, tingling, and pain so bad I had to get up several times a night and stretch. Dr. Gerber performed a. TOPS procedure on me in mid January 2025 and the pain is completely gone! I feel like I have the spine of a 20 year-old again! Thank you Dr Gerber, you are the best!

Dr Gerber would be highly recommended by me.
Dr Gerber found a problem that was not seen by another surgeon. Very reassuring that he could fix the problem for me. Very mild mannered, makes you feel very comforting about your upcoming surgery. Very easy to put your faith in him.

Completely pain free thanks to Dr. Gerber
After several years of physical therapy and ongoing shots to deaden nerves in my spine, I was told that there was nothing else that could be done to make me pain free. I was in incredible pain daily, and was unable to sleep at night due to the pain. I went to see Dr. Gerber, and based on his confidence level, expertise and ability, he suggested surgery to replace discs in my upper spine. He was able to schedule surgery fairly quickly, and as a result of his skills and experience I have been pain free for over a year. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Gerber and his staff for resolving my pain issues.

Dr. Gerber is an excellent neurosurgeon
Dr. Gerber explained best treatment options for me and advocated on my behalf with my insurance company. He and the clinical team took time to answer all of my questions. I felt the whole office being in my corner in an effort to get me the pain relief I needed. Dr. Gerber and his staff have a great degree of compassion. It’s important to know that your concerns are being heard and accounted for. There’s no doubt that Dr. Gerber is very experienced and has excellent surgical skills. Those attributes are complemented by a very positive patient experience he and his staff offer to patients.

Dr Gerber was so kind and thoughtful. He explained everything that was going to happen before and after to the best of his ability. I went to another Dr for a consultation and Dr Gerber was far superior to the other Dr. Im looking forward to being well again and able to get around without help. Thank you Dr Gerber

Dr Gerber is so helpful
Dr Gerber carefully and clearly explained my condition, including showing me precisely on an MRI and on x-rays what was the situation with my neck. He patiently listened to my information, and answered all my questions. He gave me clear choices for the way forward, and gave me great confidence in the possible outcomes of surgery. Dr Gerber is thoroughly professional, extremely experienced in his field, and clearly determined that his patients have confidence in his care and the best possible results for their particular condition.

Newbie
Never had a need for a neurologist before. After the appointment was made I was surprised on how quickly the preliminaries and mri were completed allowing me to meet with Dr. Gerber and getting me started to getting cured from the pain. He got right to the point with how he wanted things done and put my mind at ease saying surgery would only be done as a last resort. I am optimistic that whatever happens it will be the best course of action

Dr Gerber explained the reason for surgery, options, and answered questions. What most impressed me was his advocating getting other opinions. To me that’s the sign of an excellent physician.

Expert and Caring Surgeon
Dr. Gerber performed disc replacement surgery for me in 2017, and it was a very positive experience. I have moved away from the Naples area, and returned to see him for a new consultation (different health issue). I have thorough trust and confidence in him, should I need another surgery.

Cleveland Clinic Turncoat
I live within 30 miles of the renowned Cleveland Clinic, home of many outstanding doctors. However, I was traveling to Naples shortly after I was told I needed a spinal fusion. Being open and searching all options, I found Dr. Gerber and made an appointment. No more searching. I had read his background so didn’t need any reinforcement there. To meet him though is to know he is the consummate doctor. Though I don’t relish surgery, I am at ease knowing this gentle man will be the one operating.

Dr Gerber was referred to me by my previous neurosurgeon who retired. I’m thankful everyday for having Dr. Gerber as my neurosurgeon. He’s removed a tumor from my wife’s spine and operated on my spine three different times. Trust me, surgery is not his first recommendation. You have a sense that Dr. Gerber truly cares about you. He is very thorough and detailed when explaining everything he does. Dr. Gerber also spends whatever time is needed during appointments. You never feel rushed when seeing him. Wait time in the lobby is never more than 15 minutes. I should mention this goes for the entire staff especially Sybil!

Dr Gerber did my back 2 years ago. So mad I waited so long. I was told I needed more work from everyone else I went to. He fixed me with minimal procedure. Awesome. No one else will touch my back.
