Patient Reviews
Oct 14, 2020
Dr. Gerner is one of the best doctors I've ever had. Extremely kind, extremely smart, and he knows what he is doing. He has a ton of experience. He cares about his patients and will get back to you at all hours of the day if you have a serious problem. He could have retired years ago, but he continues to work purely out of passion for what he does. My entire family has been seeing him for more than 2 decades. My father, who lost an eye at a young age, has been a patient for 5 decades. We stick with Dr. Gerner for a reason. You can't go wrong with him.
