    Dr. Gessel is one of the few doctors who actually listens carefully to what you tell him and comprehends what has been discussed. He looks at the whole person instead of just passing your problems off to a different specialist. If a question isn't in his area of expertise, he'll admit it but help if he can. He is cautious with his recommendations to not overly expose a patient to harmful tests or medications unless he feels they are warranted. I'm grateful to have him as my doctor.
