Patient Reviews
Jul 21, 2023
Dr. Gerstein has been a sight saver. I had the most disappointing experience with another Dr. When I had cataract surgery. The lens that was put in my eye to correct my sight was the wrong not only once but twice when I finally left that Dr. I found this wonderful Dr Gerstein which during the exam informed me that I needed 3rd surgery to correct my sight, I am so grateful that he was able to correct my sight. I recommend him 100% he definitely knows his profession and I’m living proof. Thank you Dr Gerstein
