Dr Gantwerker is fantastic and his office staff, Annick and Helene, are absolute gems. So far each step has been quick, clear, easy and helpful. Annick and Helene are personable, friendly, fun and with wonderful humor!! Dr G is very kind and very thorough. Prior to him, no other MD had done a thorough and comprehensive physical exam of me - which seemed odd. Dr G did. And he showed me my MRI and explained it in detail. I have been very scared about what's happening with me, and after meeting him, my fear is actually gone (may it stay gone) and I feel taken care of. Don't hesitate to see Dr Gantwerker, he's excellent.

He's a great doctor who spends as much time as you would need to discuss your issues. He's caring, intelligent and makes you feel like you're in good hands. His front office is equally as good (Annick) as they are friendly and caring, too.

Dr. Gantwerker and his team are a pleasure to visit. They are warm and caring people, explain everything clearly, and don’t rush you right out the door. So happy that I found a Doctor that still cares about the well being of his patients.

Annik in the front office is not only efficient, but is kind and so accommodating to the patients. Dr. Brian Gantwerker, is a thorough and highly conscientious doctor. Was there for a consult and he came in prepared and was careful not to tell me definitively what would be done until he had more test done.

Dr. Gantwerker is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled physician, and is truly dedicated to his patients. Unlike most physicians today, he took the time to thoroughly review my health history and test results,, ask me in-depth questions, and to analyze my back injuries in order to effectively guide me on the best course of action. He is a real gem, combining tremendous skill with empathy. I highly recommend him.

Absolutely the best. I have put my spine health in his hands twice now and if need be would do it again. I love the positive vibes that radiate from Annick, Halina and Dr. Gantwerker. The encouragement before and after the needed surgeries was phenomenal. I cannot say how much I appreciate all of the care and encouragement that I have been given over the years. Many thanks and lots of love!
