Two and one-half years later, my back surgery with Dr. Gantwerker has more than fulfilled its promise.
My spine had badly deteriorated due to spondylolisthesis. Although I continued to live an active life, I always had some degree of back pain. After my operation, I could do any type of exercise. My body is strong, flexible, and pain-free. My posture is excellent.
I never experienced any pain, even immediately after the surgery.
Dr. Gantwerker is an incredibly gifted surgeon, and a wonderful person. He changed my life completely. His office is fantastic, too. I feel terrific, a testament to the genius of Dr. Gantwerker.

The staff was wonderful in every aspect
Dr Gantwerker was equally impressive. I felt that I was very important and well cared for. Everything was clearly explained to me and I was helped in scheduling a MRI. This a top notch office that is patient centered.

I have nothing but the best for Dr Gantwerker. After this July 4th fall, I wasn't sure what was in store for me with the injuries I received. But the calming effect from everyone in the office, the surgery and now the recovery time has restored my sense of balance (Literally and figuratively)! 10 weeks post op and I am feeling much better. Thank you so very much.

My first visit with Dr Gantwerker was extremely detailed and informative for me. I appreciate the Dr. G fully reviewing the prior history and images to our visit. Rarely will you find a specialist at this level that will spend an extensive amount of time with a patient, given general demand. The staff was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Dr. Gantwerker is a wonderful doctor. The reason I say that is because he explains in detail everything and answers all of your questions so that you do not leave the office questioning what’s next. I can highly recommend him to anybody who needs that type of treatment. That is if you need a neurosurgeon!

Dr. Gantwerker is very confident and he answers all of your questions, he also asks a lot of questions during your exam; he also advises you with the best options for your conditions. Time in the exam room is not rushed. He wants you to make sure all of your questions as well as your exam is fully complete. He sometimes uses these back plastic models to show you exactly whats going on and what will take place during the surgery. By the way, he is not in a rush to operate, he might try physical therapy and other methods first. He reviews your MRI scans on a very large monitor so you can see the issues, or lack of issues with these scans. He will surely answer any questions and concerns.
His staff is excellent. I had some trouble getting the correct MRI's done. The staff resent the paperwork to the imaging center within just a few minutes, getting rid of my frustrations and stress. With
Covid the staff takes great care making sure the patients are not in contact in the office, pens are clean, masks are required, we all know these guidelines. You surely won't get Covid in this office.
