I have been a patient of Dr. Gershtenson’s for the past eight years and can attest to the fact that she’s a medical marvel and a personal phenom. I have complex, multi-systemic chronic illness and she’s always seeking to understand my unique body so she can contextualize my dermatologic issues. And she’s a fantastic listener and an actively compassionate and humane doctor. Recently, I had a neurological crisis in her exam room — the kind of emergency that most dermatologists will never witness or attend to in their careers. And she and her nurses, medical assistants, and office administrators stayed calm, kept reassuring me that they would keep me safe, and physically put themselves in harm’s way to protect me.

Dr. Gershtenson is thorough and gives a clear assessment of the intervention that is available and needed. I grew up in a time and place where sunscreen was hardly a word, and I now bear the evidence that it would have been a good idea to use! She's never been judgemental or made me feel guilty, but has provided counsel for going forward. I appreciate her expertise.

My appointment today with Dr.Gershtenson was probably the best appointment I've ever had regarding rosacea on my face. Its been a battle for 2 years and I think i finally got a great doctor. She listened and gave me a great new routine and plan. I don't want to bash any other dermatologist but in the past I was in and out of appointments so fast and left wondering what is going on and with medications that weren't working and no POA. Thank you so much !
