Brett A. Gerstman's Online Review Report Card

Thorough, caring, great bedside manner and smart. Highly recommend him

Dr Gertsman is the Best Doctor. He is extremely caring about his patients and is very easy to talk with. i highly recommend anyone who is experiencing pain ,arthritis to make an appointment with Dr Gertsman and his PA Gabrielle Davis at NJ Spine Center. I saw Gabrielle and she gave me a knee injection and she was wonderful as well. i didn't feel anything. when getting the injection.Everyone at NJSpine Center is extremely professional and work very hard to help you. You will not be disappointed with the kevel of care you will recieve.

I had an appointment scheduled over a month ahead of time. I was given less than 24 hours noticed that it had been cancelled and was told Dr. Gertsman was no longer accepting new patients. It seems odd they would have taken my appointment in the first place. I reach back out to schedule another appointment, hoping the excuse for cancelation was a mistake. This time I was told that the doctor would not take me on because of my medication history. The receptionist was very short with me and ended the call before I could ask any questions. Extremely disappointing that the doctor would turn away a person in need of help so quickly. When I originally schedule my appointment, I had my current pain management doctor fax my patient history to their office. It seems like I could have just not shared my information at all and they would have taken me. Makes no sense. I really wanted a second opinion from a doctor that came highly recommended and was looking forward to my original appointment. It's a shame that Dr. Gertsman does not care enough to help. I hope he treats his existing patients much better.

Dr Gertsman is a AWESOME DR, makes me feel extremely comfortable talking about my medical issues, I was a nervous wreck thinking I had ALS, he talked me right off the ledge, reassuring me I didn’t have ALS, not only that treAted me w 1 new prescription that turned my whole world around, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone 1000 times over!

Called the first time and woman with whom i spoke sounded efficient. She said that they would check something with my background (maybe formulary information, I wasn't sure) and then she'd call me back in the afternoon to advise about whether they could schedule an appt - no call. Since it was getting close to the holidays I figured that they were busy so gave it a couple of days. I called back about 3 days later to leave a message saying that I was waiting to see if I could make an appt and asked that they call back. No call. Dr Gerstman you may or may not be a fabulous professional but it seems I'll never find out...too bad.

Great Doctor. A friend recommended Dr. Gerstman as my pain management doctor after my spine surgery. He is awesome. After surgery I had a bad pain in my groin when I walked. I thought maybe the neurosurgeon trapped a nerve after spine surgery. He from his experience thought it actually might be a problem with my hip. He was right, after visiting an orthopedic doctor that specializes in hips, the doctor found I had very bad arthritis in my hip and needed a hip replacement. I went for a second opinion, the 2nd doctor was even more adamant that I needed a hip replacement. He's the best. I have been very lucky lately I have found a number of really good doctors. There are a lot of lousy ones out there. Thanks Doc Gerstman.

One of the best pain doctors NJ has to offer, appointments are easy to make, practically no wait times. Dr. Gerstman listens to your problems and comes up with effective solutions. I have been seeing him for a little over three years now, due to a couple nerve damage issues. He is a very caring and professional doctor. I would highly suggest him to anyone who is serious about their pain management and getting medical issues under control.

I saw Dr. Gerstman for a herniated lumbar disc. He is very smart, personable, attentive and explained my condition thoroughly. He is everything you would want in a doctor. Truly excellent and five stars. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with spine pain.

So BEWARE: They will judge you. I really wanted a second opinion from a doctor that came highly recommended and was looking forward to my original appointment. It's a shame that Dr. Gertsman does not care enough to help.
