Review for Dr. Gerstenblith
“Everyone here is amazing. They genuinely care and it shows. Dr. G is highly skilled and one of the kindest and most compassionate health care providers I’ve ever met. He saved the sight in my eye after I was blinded in an accident 7 years ago. Today I can see better in that eye than my other eye! It is always a pleasure to go to this office. Thanks for the great care!”— Dolly
