Dr. Gottwald is thorough and efficient. He immediately puts you at ease and explains the procedure well. (I had an EMG.) It is wonderful to find a specialist who not only has excellent knowledge, but also has an excellent bedside manner. Thanks, Dr. Gottwald.

Dr Strauss performed an emergency endoscopy on me to dislodge a piece of food that was stuck in my esophagus. He was very friendly, sincere, and engaging. Dr Strauss saved my life and I’m beyond grateful for his care and expertise. Mahalo, Dr. Strauss!
