I could not speak highly enough of Dr. Gerber. She has been our vet for twelve years now and in that time has cared for six dogs and three cats of ours, dealing with some very complex and demanding medical challenges, including pregnancies, ligament surgeries, and a serious, rare digestive disorder that would have killed one of our dogs had it not been for Dr. Gerber's refusal to give up on her.
Dr. G gives her full attention to every patient and makes sure to explain everything carefully. She always lays out treatment options in detail, and compares the costs an benefits of each alternative. And if she shines in the clinic setting, she is absolutely stellar in her followup and after-hours accessibility. When you need her, she is there. Period; no ifs ands or buts.
Negatives? About the only thing worth mentioning is the fact that she runs a one-person practice, so when she goes on vacation, or attends continuing education sessions (and she is diligent about keeping her skills up to date) there is no second doctor to take over, so it's a good idea to get to know a backup vet in case of emergencies while Dr. G. is away. Some of the other area vets are wonderful, but we learned by experience that there's at least one who is not. read more
