BOOK APPOINTMENT

I want each patient to feel as though I have listened to them and that I’m caring and compassionate. I try to understand how their condition affects them. Patients often tell me that I’m very thorough, which translates into taking the time needed to treat their condition.

The doctor excised a cancerous growth on my back this afternoon. So far I have not had any pain. I hope I get a good night’s sleep.

Dr Gershtenson is thorough and explains everything she is doing. I like that she reminds me how important it is to use sunscreen and other sun protection items and to do monthly self checks. I appreciate her caring manner.
