Very poor physician. He also lacks empath and compassion.

Dr Gettlefinger and his staff are amazing, so kind and attentive. He has helped me for over 2 years now with my cervical epidurals. I would not go anywhere else.

Worst doctor ever. He doesn't help patients...he tells them why he won't. Wasted my time, effort, and money! Find a better doctor!
