Patients frequently commend Dr. Allen Jed Geltzer for his thoroughness, careful listening, and effective communication, with many highlighting the excellent care and advice provided, particularly in treating geriatric patients. The positive interactions extend to the nursing staff, who are noted for providing painless procedures and being highly engaged. However, some patients report negative experiences, citing feelings of being rushed, lack of eye contact, and a dismissive attitude from Dr. Geltzer. A recurring complaint involves the mention of him being a substitute, which negatively impacts the perception of care in certain visits.
