Dr Gantwerker is the most intelligent, thoughtful, patient, kind and dedicated doctor I’ve ever had the good fortune to be treated by. He really takes the time to review all aspects of my condition and clearly explains what he sees and what treatment options he recommends. He goes the extra mile !!

Dr. Gantwerker is both a great listener and a great clinician. He always takes whatever time is required to understand a patient's concerns and observations and explain well his diagnosis, options, recommendations, etc.

As always, my appointments with Dr. Gantwerker go smoothly and efficiently, from the front office with Annick and my entire time with the doctor. He is thorough in his examinations, as well as in his explanations of what is going on. One never feels rushed. I had back surgery performed by him about 1 1/2 years ago and my back still feels great. (He is presently seeing me for issues with my neck.) I recommend him highly!

Two and one-half years later, my back surgery with Dr. Gantwerker has more than fulfilled its promise. My spine had badly deteriorated due to spondylolisthesis. Although I continued to live an active life, I always had some degree of back pain. After my operation, I could do any type of exercise. My body is strong, flexible, and pain-free. My posture is excellent. I never experienced any pain, even immediately after the surgery. Dr. Gantwerker is an incredibly gifted surgeon, and a wonderful person. He changed my life completely. His office is fantastic, too. I feel terrific, a testament to the genius of Dr. Gantwerker.

The staff was wonderful in every aspect Dr Gantwerker was equally impressive. I felt that I was very important and well cared for. Everything was clearly explained to me and I was helped in scheduling a MRI. This a top notch office that is patient centered.

I have nothing but the best for Dr Gantwerker. After this July 4th fall, I wasn't sure what was in store for me with the injuries I received. But the calming effect from everyone in the office, the surgery and now the recovery time has restored my sense of balance (Literally and figuratively)! 10 weeks post op and I am feeling much better. Thank you so very much. Geneva
