  Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. Appreciate Dr. Gettelfinger taking time to go over the diagnosis clearly and treatment options. Dr. Gettelfinger and the entire staff are awesome and beyond amazing. When you have an appointment, they will spend the whole scheduled period with you if need be; I know when I come in to see Dr. Gettelfinger, he’s already reviewed the reasons for my coming in and my file. I never feel rushed, and he always asks if I have any other questions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a specialist. He’s awesome.
