I will not let anyone except Dr Gerzsten work on me. I went to Ohio State for a cervical fusion in Sept. 2011. After a year my chiropractor recommended I see dr. Gerzsten for a consultation because I wasn't better, I was worse. On a Friday in Jan. 2013, Dr. Gerzsten reviewed my films and said "I'm doing surgery & im doing it Tuesday" the hardware from the first dr needed removed & replaced & a 2nd level done. Dr. Gerzsten was my miracle worker. My back needs done & I won't go anywhere else!

Never did 1 simple thing for me, except talk over the course of 18 months. never asked about my Parkinson's or how it is affecting my neck and lower back pain. Continually asked me "how I want to proceed?" Ordered Neck Traction, and later discovered from other more competent Neurosurgeons and Neurologists, that the traction actuall caused more damage to my narrow canal in my neck. I have a lower body balance issue, and he said physical therapy on my neck would help push the discs back into place

the 'good' doctor has lost his focus and desire to help everyone.
5 visits and all we do is talk.. Well, he talks, I listen. He rarely lets me finish my sentence.
He spends very little time with me.
Never explains anything. So disheartening to visit this man.
