Patient Reviews
Feb 22, 2022
Dr Gerstenfeld is my doctor. He has restored my vision that only a miracle could have done better. He gave me my sight back. Dr Gerstenfeld performed Cataract surgery on me 6 months ago & what a life changing experience. Even with COVID around, I enjoy my life better than I have in years with my new eye sight. I highly recommend him to everyone!
THANKFUL — Feb 22, 2022
