I was very pleased with how much Dr. Gerstmar was attentive in my recovery to better health…read more However, I did feel they approach of paying a huge sum up front was a little "used car salesman." To me, I was paying a lot of money ($185) to go see the doctor per visit to get help that I needed. I was told about paying 6 months in advance for drs visits, nutritionist service,supplements, and extra information about my disease. I didn't feel comfortable putting money upfront until I saw improvements in my health with the dr., plus it's a lot to pay up front. So I paid as I went and did everything that he and the nutritionist told me to do. I did get a comment in an email "Let me know when you are 100% committed to your health." I am sorry but that really bothered me. So, I don't put up all this cash up front does not mean I am not committed? It just means I am broke. I was spending roughly $400-$600 a month on visits when I could go, I was sick for a while. Also, the nutritionist was suppose to send me information about AIP/GAPS recipes on 3 different occasions. I never got an email from her for any additional information I asked. I felt that I wasn't getting enough service for the money I was spending. I would get charged for visits that really didn't need to happen. I honestly feel if you are not invested in the "6 month plan" then you might as well not even bother and there may be additional fee's.

Dr. Gerstmar saved my colon and my life by devising a successful treatment for my ulcerative…read morecolitis. Two weeks into Dr. G's treatment, I saw incredible results, and today, 3 years after I first contacted Dr. G, I am back to my old, healthy self. I live a completely normal life (something that back in 2012 when I was told by top 10 New York City specialists that I would die or have my colon removed, seemed impossible), my diet is back to normal, and as a result of the changes I made in the process, I live a healthier life and feel in control of my own health. I came to Dr. G physically weak, in a state of panic, afraid of a mysterious disease, of my own body which seemed to be out of control for no apparent reason, and with horrible memories of past failed treatments. A successful treatment was thus a matter of both my physical and mental health. Not only did I regain a normal existence, return to my studies and work, and avoid any kind of surgery, I also found in Dr. G a source of constant support and encouragement. Slowly, with increasing improvements in my health, I began to believe in my own recovery. Dr. G taught me how to remain calm and positive through the ups and downs, how to live with the disease, and how to rise above it. A sense of gratitude to Dr. G for giving me back my life accompanies me every day. Dr. G is the best doctor I have met, is the first person I contact with any kind of medical problem, and I remain his patient.

Dr. Broudy is the best. Since my last review, I have visited him on several occasions. When I had…read moresome break-through heart symptoms while on my meds, he arranged for me to go through a graded exercise test on a treadmill. After my test was completed, he told me how impressed he was with my results. Of course, the competition is 25-30 years older, but I'll take whatever compliments I can get. If my insurance company let me, I think I would continue to visit Dr. Broudy even if I didn't have a stupid arrhythmia to manage. He's very entertaining. A few visits ago, he was looking through my chart, and asked if I was related to a physician from another state who shares the same last name as me. After telling him we were not related, Dr. Broudy goes on to tell me the story of how the physician was attacked and killed by an alligator. See, entertaining, right?

Absolutely horrible experience seeing dr Vega.

He said yes it was the only way ,after consulting other drs I learned that this was 100% untrue. There were countless other ways he could have confirmed my condition. He was also apparently unaware that the extremely time sensitive medication he prescribed to me , was illegal to carry at ANY pharmacy within 100 miles of me (I was informed by a pharmacist at the 4th pharmacy I went to in attempts to obtain said medication) wasting several hours of my time and worsening the severity of my condition.

I walked out of that appointment after 10 minutes crying - all the while she's sitting there as if there's something to talk about still. Please don't go to her, she is terrible.

I have certainly put Dr. Sheckter to the test of all of her knowledge with my laundry list of ailments, yet she passed all the tests. First, she listens well. Second, she always has the knowledge to make the correct answer. This might mean knowing when the specialist needs to be called in. Third, she clearly communicates what needs to happen next.

I've known for years that I had hypothyroid .. in fact, I had even known that my exact condition…read morewas "extreme." However, my previous DR (in California) had never explained to me that it was absolutely necessary for me to be on medicine for the rest of my life. It wasn't until this past January that I started to feel like I was running myself into the ground. Thinking I had mono or some type of fatigue disorder I went to Dr. Kevin Hatfield (whom I've also reviewed.) He conducted some blood tests and was worried that I wasn't taking my thyroid medication. He explained some of the risks and side effects to me and told me to get an appointment with Dr. Gross. So I did! I've now seen Dr. Gross three times and he's very professional, kind, and polite. Most importantly though - he's informative! Upon examining me and diagnosing me with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis he handed me brochures, print-outs, and all sorts of information so I could read-up on the disorder (which is highly common) and better understand my condition. He also sat with me and allowed me to ask him dozens of questions to which he had thorough responses. After feeling almost helpless for a few months, Dr. Gross really helped me and his speciality in endocrinology really made me feel secure in the diagnosis and treatment. We had both initially thought it would take anywhere from 4-7 months to get me on the correct dose of medicine to balance my thyroid levels but after only 3 visits in 2 months, I'm done! I don't have to go back for another year. That's great because it means everything is under control thanks to his expertise.. but it's not so great because he's so pleasant to be around and I don't get to see him for a long time!

While he…read morewas nice, he was quite condescending when I described the symptoms that led me to his office. Both Types I and II diabetes run on *both* sides of my family - and my family is not full of people who are just lazy and don't eat right. I've had hyperglycemia for years, and my primary care doc finally prescribed me something. Since I was still having a lot of symptoms no matter what I did, I went to see Dr. Gross. Dr. Gross only took a simple test to check my A1C, which was just below the problem mark, OF COURSE, because I'm on medication! He didn't seem to consider that it's because of the medication that my A1C finally normalised. Not only did he check nothing else, he even told me to stop taking the medication that normalises my blood sugar. He didn't listen to any of my complaints re: clear & ongoing symptoms, and sent me on my merry way. So, I'm still hunting for an endocrinologist who actually pays attention to family history and patient symptom descriptions.
