Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2023
I've seen Dr. Gerszten for about 10 yrs and he was my 2nd opinion on the beginning and the only one that could help due to my being 30 at the time. He's done 2 spinal fusions & 3 other surgeries. I respect Dr. Gerszten as he's always very straight with you & has excellent bedside manners. His staff was very caring too and were prompt in returning my calls as well. I no longer live near PA unfortunately but if I could drive there for visits I would do so.
