Board-Certified Dermatologist
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.

Dr. Gershtens is a treasure. For a couple of years I was having a difficult time getting a diagnosis. Dr. Gershtens was determined to help and after several tests found the answer. Not only was it a relief but a daily life changer. Thank you, Dr. G for your compassion and devotion to a job well done.
