I first saw Dr. Gerace last September and was impressed by the time she spent listening to me and reviewing my records. She ordered a number of routine screening tests for my age group which I complied with. For certain other issues I had, her office recommended a few specialists, one of whom I saw for about seven months. This was not covered by my insurance so I had to pay some substantial fees out-of-pocket. When I decided I could no longer do this, I went back to Dr. Gerace, hoping she would continue authorization of a couple of prescriptions from the specialist and modify another one. It was as though Mr.Hyde took over Dr.Jekyll. She listened to nothing I said, insisted I take another medication about which I had read an opposing medical view, said my recent lab work was in range (in two areas, it wasn't), refused to adjust the medication I was taking, and insinuated that my questions and reservations were insulting. She even went so far as to say I would change my mind about how I was feeling if I just went to see another doctor who would agree with her views! I'm no doctor, but I do know when I'm feeling good and when I'm not and when a medication is or isn't working.
Pros: hard to find any...
Cons: patients are lab results, period; concerns not addressed; chastises patients for questioning
