I HAD DR. GENT AS MY PHYSICIAN REGARDING MY RIGHT KNEE. HE GAVE ME SUPARTZ INJECTIONS WHICH MADE MY KNEE FEEL 100% BETTER. HE ALWAYS TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY KNEE, AND NEVER LEFT ME GUESSING HIS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MY KNEE.

He prescribed an costly MRI without explaining why I needed one. He didn't even tell me what he thought was wrong with my knee, just prescribed MRI and dismissed me.

Dr Gent is an outstanding doctor. He takes time to get to know you. I have never felt rushed during many visits to him. He has a great sense of humor, too.

I had a ruptured Achilles heel that Dr Gent performed surgery on. He was very patient with all my questions and concerns. He stopped by post Op and made sure I was comfortable. His staff and bedside manner are top notch- wonderful doctor.
