Dr. Gantwerker listened, went over all MRIs that had been done and left me with the sense of knowing what my symptoms meant and what would help and what would not help. Very positive visit.

Our family felt deeply seen/heard/valued/supported/cared for and encouraged during our (almost three year) journey with Dr. Gantwerker. He is a gifted surgeon, and he was able to explain complicated results and possibilities in ways that we could understand. Dr. Gantwerker and his staff helped us through one of the scarest, most vulnerable times in our lives. They are incrediblely good with senior citizens/and the people that love them. And for us, even though we are released for his care, Dr. Gantwerker and his team are family for life. We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Grantwerker!

I was treated with the upmost concern. Doctor Gantwerker took his time explaining my situation to the fullest. With my questions, his response was to the point, taking time to make sure I understood- and beyond. It’s refreshing to have a Doctor who truly is concerned about his patients and not rushing to move on. Thank you Dr. Grantwerker. Truly your an asset to your profession.

My experience with Dr Gantwerker regarding the appointment of 5/21/2021 was satisfactory. While I consider the decision for the proposed spinal surgery I would like to start the investigation of the headache disorder which is my top concern right now. I will get the brain MRI inmediately as prescribed and wait for the doctor to advise on the results. Thanks, Ruben Cossettini

I liked being asked periodically if I had any questions rather than just at the end of the visit.

Dr Gantwerker is a very caring physician and an outstanding surgeon. This is most likely my last office visit, after seeing him for the past almost four years regarding a tumor in my lower spine. The surgery was almost eight hours long and complicated. Thanks to home physical therapy he offered, I made a rapid recovery. Three years after surgery, I have had no reoccurrence of the prior pain that made it difficult to walk. I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and would gladly recommend Dr Gantwerker to any person needing spinal surgery.
