Dr. Gantwerker is a superb physician, surgeon and human being. After years of leg pains, I viewed surgery as a last resort. I come from a medical family, and have always had excellent physicians, so when three of them recommended Dr. Gantwerker, I booked an appointment. After our initial visit, where he explained my condition in detail, I was convinced he could help me. He performed a lumbar decompression (L4-5) on June 1. The next day I walked 2 miles, just as he predicted. Now I’m completely pain free. Dr. Gantwerker is nothing short of a magician. In addition, his office staff is the very finest I've ever encountered, showing incredible care, efficiency, attention and kindness with every interaction.

Dr. G goes above and beyond. He rushed out of a meeting just to make our appointment, then personally walked me down to CT, and delivered the results a half-hour later. He practices medicine the way it was meant to be — caring and personal. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks, Dr. G!

Dr. Gantwerker performed Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Cervical 3-4, Posterior Cervical Laminoplasty Cervical 3-5 on 18 June 2020. As with all surgeries there is an element of danger and complications. During my office visit with Dr Gantwerker prior to the surgery everything was explained in detail i.e., risk/reward issues and post-op expected effects. Dr Gantwerker gave me the confidence needed to believe this surgery would be totally successful. I can only give you 5 stars but my wife's and my thanks to you are worth at least another 5 stars.

I was very happy with Dr. Gantwerker. He recognized my situation and did not dismiss it as something that would go away shortly without some medical attention. Thank you.
