I booked an appointment with Dr Gerber but never even got to see him. I was assisted by a nurse practitioner of Dr. Gerber. She was efficient but I still would have liked to be seen by the doctor I booked the appointment with, even for a minute.

I love doctor Gerber but didn't see him I saw his PA Stephanie . who I love . They way over booked and I got in an hour and twenty minutes late.
Verified patient
The office was clean & the staff very nice & efficient. Dr Gerber was worth the wait. He was professional & personable. I highly recommend him
Verified patient
He was highly recommended by 3 friends (all from different social circles). I had another doctor who was dismissive and never answered my questions about the pain I was experiencing for over a year. The wait for Dr. Gerber was a bit long but it was well worth it. I did not feel rushed. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I finally know why I have been experiencing pain and there is now a plan to remedy the situation. He exceeded my expectations.
Verified patient
Location was close, rooms were immaculate, everyone was so nice and helpful, and easy to talk to. The wait was about 15 min. To go into a room. I was in and out of the office in about 40 min including having an X-ray done. Dr. Gerber was awesome!!!
Verified patient
It was very easy to book an appointment. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr Gerber was very kind and explained everything very clearly!
Verified patient
Dr. Gerber took out my partial knee replacement & gave me a full replacement in 2021. I saw him for pain in the same knee & after x-rays he explained my diagnosis & reassured me the replacement was intact & my range of motion was great.
Verified patient
It was wonderful
He is a good doctor but there is always a long wait. The system for scheduling cortisone injections is crazy. You schedule the date but not the time. The office calls you the day before the injection and tells you what time to show up. So you have no say over the time and have to leave the whole day open. I was there for 3 hours. About 2 hours and 55 minutes was spent waiting and about 5 minutes was spent having the shot.
Very friendly staff and doctor was super professional and explain me fully about all possible treatments. I am very satisfy that my girlfriend recommended Dr. Gerber. Thank you very much! Appreciate a lot.
Verified patient
The staff was very nice. From the front desk, to the doctors assistant and the PA. Dr. Gerber was professional and to me he was a regular guy. We spoke briefly of sports and things of that nature. He explained everything clearly and listened as well. Why cant all doctors have this demeanor? Highly recommended.
Verified patient
this was a very good experience. they had parking out front, no stairs from the parking lot into the office. the staff was kind and friendly, the wait was not long at all, Dr Gerber was fantastic.
Verified patient
Very easy bedside manner
Verified patient
Check out girl was a total jerk. Wouldn't schedule a follow up until Cortisone shot was approved by insurance. Wasn't listening, was arrogant. and a sour apple.
Verified patient
Straight forward. Informative. Comprehensive. Gave me factual options. I felt comfortable with the action selected. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
I saw the Dr twice. Both times he was very abrupt and quite dismissive. Almost like I was bothering him. Told me I needed surgery and that was it. No other options. No explaining anything. And the wait time was unacceptable over 1 hour. Quite ridiculous. Would never use Orlin and Cohen EVER again. It is a factory!!!!!
Verified patient
Highly recommend Dr Gerber
Verified patient
A long wait and a not so pleasant receptionist but once I was seen the PA was great as was the x ray technician and the doctor. I got a cortisone shot for a bad knee that worked immediately and went on my trip to Ireland the next day!
Verified patient

Dr. Gerber listened to my story and was thoughtful in his response. He gave me options and left the final decision to get a knee replacement up to me - no pressure.
