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.

I found a new provider
I’d been a patient of Dr. Gentner’s for years. After some blood work I was concerned because I had an elevated fasting blood sugar and I asked him about it. He told me to “stop trying to be diabetic.” A couple years later I was complaining of hip pain. He referred me to physical therapy which I did but I still needed to be taken seriously. Finally after getting nowhere for about a year and a half with him I asked him to refer me to orthopedist. After imaging, my orthopedist told me I had severe hip dysplasia. I needed a hip replacement on both sides. I did not delay because I have been in agony for so long. When I went to Dr. Gentner to get the surgery clearance from him, I walked for him and he told me, “I think you’re just limping because I’m watching you. You’re 50, that’s too young for hip replacement.” Never again.

Dr. Getner took the time to answer all my questions and explain things to me. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He listened and I did not feel rushed as is so often the case with doctors. One of the best doctors I've seen.

Getner is an incompassionate fool. Don't go near him unless you want your children to be traumatized for life after a medical procedure. Take it from me, a now grown former patient left with a horrible memory I will never forget by this quack.. this guy is a heartless creep. Please, find a much more compassionate doctor for your family.

My family and I have been seeing him for over 10 years. We like him a Lot and he spends time and answers questions. However his office staff are terrible. You cant speak to his tech (they are not nurses) to just ask a question, you have to spell medical words for the receptionist to leave a message!
