Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Gerhardt ordered lab tests and a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy showed areas of concern. A biopsy was performed which resulted in negative results. I am left with more questions than answers. He recommended another colonoscopy in 5 years and that's it. In the meantime, I continue to have gastrointestinal issues that are unresolved and I have no understanding of what is causing my symptoms and characteristic changes in my colon. A fair doctor orders testing to try to diagnose what is causing the problem. An excellent doctor continues to dig for the root of the problem when testing fails to give immediate answers.

I love Dr Gerhardt and Elizabeth! The staff at the Endoscopy Center is always wonderful as well. I have a chronic condition so I am a regular, but they still go over everything and always make sure I am very comfortable!!!

I put off a colonoscopy for 9 months because 1) I don't even like to think about it. 2) I was afraid he might find something troubling, 3) I had trouble with MY scheduling. The whole team, from the receptionist to the prep nurse to the nurse anesthetist and OR nurse, were so kind, friendly and reassuring! Dr Gerhardt was professional and personable. I'm glad I got it over. Thanks to an amazing team!!

Excellent in every way from the registrar to the discharge, nurse it was all superior in every way. Of course Dr Gerhardt was super, and maintained professional bedside mannerism. I have a nurse friend who recommend him - she worked with him a few years back and she stared directly into my eyes and said “I trust him with my life!”
