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.

Top Notch Doctor and Practice
I had a very important surgery with Dr. Gertel and o felt so comfortable. From the beginning he treated with me respect but also compassion. He explained and talked to me. He gave me options and included me in every step. For surgery he made sure I knew I was supported and care about. He called me at home after and checked on me, he is a score who cares about his patients. My in office visits have been on time, his office runs efficient and the people working are so nice, know their jobs and make you feel like they are actually there to take care of you not just there to collect a paycheck. I have already sent friends to see this doctor as I recommended to this office by my friend too. I am extremely happy to have found Dr. Gertel and his office, too not operation.

Pleasant experience
I visited Dr. Gertel with my son who suffered from sleep apnea and a sleep disorder. My son ended up needing surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. Dr. Gertel performed the surgery recently and overall, I was very impressed and pleased with the professionalism, communication, and efficiency of both him and his staff. My son experienced minimal pain and recovered beautifully. He definitely sleeps better now!
