I have been seeing Dr Gahr for the last two years and continue to see him after I moved away from the Upper East Side. Dr Gahr has always treated me with care and great attention to detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

I had a severely herniated disc - I needed a discectomy and Dr. Gahr worked outside normal hours to ensure I had my EKG and other tests completed.

More about Dr. Herbert Gahr, MD
My first priority is always the patient. You get CONCIERGE service for no extra charge.
I am easily reachable on nights and weekends. The office phone is forwarded directly to my personal cell phone.
I do everything myself--take your blood pressure, pulse, etc. You will not be shunted off to an assistant. I am a board certified internist--many internists/pcps are not.
Unlike most doctors who have patients fill out medical health checklist forms in advance I personally take your medical history. After we are done in the examining room we talk in my consultation room so that I can insure that all your concerns are properly addressed.

Dr. Gahr was a pleasure to deal with. He saw me right away, was very thorough, and gave good advice based on what I said was bothering me. I have made him my primary doctor, and would recommend anyone else to do the same!

Dr. Gahr and the medical care, professionalism and responsiveness of his Office are a TREASURE on the Upper East Side!
He remembers everything from a YEAR ago and his follow up and support are remarkable. His treatment is thorough, attentive, expert and customized.

I can't stress enough the difference it makes when you sit in an office and talk to your doctor like a human. This is one great thing about Dr. Gahr.
More than 1 year agoJoseph D.Verified patient
I'm not sure when doctors stating adopting the 'always-an-hour-late' model, but I'm glad Dr. Gahr knows how to manage time and schedule appropriately.

The type of doctor I've been looking for for the past couple of years. Easy, straightforward, and asks real authentic questions. He really seems to care about his patients.
August 1, 2015Joseph D.Verified patient
Very friendly and on time. Before he did anything we had a discussion and an actual consultation! He asked many questions and continued to probe in a polite way to ensure that he could correctly diagnose the issue. I will be coming back to this doctor in the future.

I felt very uncomfortable. The dr.'s office was unkempt, and the dr. himself was so old and shaky that he couldn't even fit the microscope to look in my ear.

Dr. Gahr was great! Its very nice to go into a doctors office and have the doctor himself actually run the appointment.. Reminded me of when I saw my family doctor as a kid.
Thanks Doc!

Rude. Outdated. Old.
April 5, 2015Asiah C.Verified patient
Dr. Gahr is very attentive to my medical needs. He cares about the patients he serves and carries an unmatched level of experience as a practitioner. His office is conveniently accessible by the 2nd and 1st avenue express service buses.

Excellent. Have seen MD for many years. Makes himself available any time I have called and he has called me on weekends to see how I'm doing when I've been ill. All specialist recommendations are extremely good.

Dr. Herbert Gahr has been our primary physician over the past four years, and we both think that he has been the best family physician we have ever known during our lifetimes... and Jean is a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner from St. Luke's Hospital, NYC. First of all, Dr. Gahr has always taken a holistic view of our medical issues and has treated them on a coordinated basis with other doctors and Lenox Hill Hospital, which is is affiliated with. Second, Dr. Gahr is a very smart and thorough doctor in diagnosing and treating our various medical conditions. Third, Dr. Gahr has always referred both of us to top medical specialists and hospitals for evaluation and treatment. Fourth, Dr. Gahr has always been available, even over weekends, for emergencies like brain seizures and infections. In summary, Dr. Gahr has extended and enhanced our overall health and lifetimes with positive outcomes,

I could not imagine going to any doctor other than Dr. Gahr. I have been a patient of Dr. Gahr's for many years. Diligent and meticulous, he always knows exactly which medicine to give me or, when necessary, follow up tests. He calls back quickly even on nights and weekends. His specialist referrals are excellent.
