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.

Amazing human being
I am so grateful to Dr. Gerard for his skillful surgery on my brain.

If you are in need of a neurosurgeon, he’s the one
I saw Dr.Gerard back in May due to finding out my brain tumor had grown . He told me he was confident he could completely remove it and prevent it from becoming a high grade tumor. He told me he understood if I needed time to get things in order and if I wanted a second opinion, but not to wait longer than a year to have it removed. When he returned with my appointment papers, I was visibly upset and he reassured me that I would be in good hands. I had surgery at the beginning of November and by God’s grace he completely removed my tumor. I will always recommend Dr.Gerard for he has been a part of giving me a new lease on life. I am forever grateful! If you or a loved one need a neurosurgeon, he is the one you want to see!

Dr. Gerard Review - for Appt. October 8, 2024
Dr. Gerard was not there because he was called to do emergency brain surgery. However his nurse was able to check my wound and give me instructions on how to care for it. I have been satisfied with Dr. Gerard and his staff.

Insensitive to Patient pain and needs
He cancelled a needed spine surgery (to relieve crippling back pain) because his office failed to make an appointment with the anesthesiologist, and then blamed me for not having the pre-op appointment

Communicated well all through the procedure.
He did a very good job communicating during my treatment. I had a pain issue getting ready for the procedure and he was able to provide a good solution.

Successful Surgery
Dr Gerard performed surgery on my back and I could tell hours after the surgery a huge difference in my pain. All the pain in legs and hips was gone, the only pain I experienced was from the incision and staples in my back. I'd highly recommend him
