I liked him immediately for his professional manner and getting to the point on what I will require and how he and other associates can meet my needs. However, the pic you show isn't Dr. Geltzer, if that really matters. He is also young and vibrant as the fellow you show, but it doesn't meet the lineup. I have some requirements to meet based on past records and I will have more to come as it happens. Thanks for lining me up with him. Daniel

He made me feel very comfortable, and took plenty of time to speak with me, and allow me to ask questions.

Verified patient
Dr Geltzer is uncomfortable with recommending anything other than medications. I went in for assistance dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress and his only solution was that I should quit my job and get on medication. He didn't even feel comfortable writing a prescription for massage therapy. I would never recommend him to anyone. Very un-imaginative, un resourceful, and incapable of thinking outside the box. I am unimpressed and disappointed.
Verified patient
Easy to get in. Prompt. Attentive.
Verified patient
Waste of time. Belittling demeanor, made assumptions that were off base, and he was not the most informed doctor I've seen in my experience.
