Originally I was concerned with meeting Dr. Gierke as I have had an ongoing medical issue of many years being addressed by both Rheumatology and now Neurology and have read some less than Positive Reviews in regards to Dr. Gierke...however - I am very impressed with my first visit. Dr. Gierke has a very enthusiastic attitude, a great bed-side manner as well as appears to be exceptionally knowledgeable in regards to both General Neurology & how my symptoms correlate as well as the comprehensive tests, which he scheduled me for. He appears to be for me & desires to aid me in the process of eliminating possible medical conditions as well as a concise diagnosis.

Dr. Gierke is the first doctor to help me with my paresthesia disorder, and even though it's not completely gone, I have had more control of it's effects than ever before, and for that I am grateful

strange experience, he keeps yawning while talking w/me and when he sees me shaking, he thinks (because it's intermittant), he wants me to have biofeedback for stress. this was within a few minutes of my appt. i have frozen gait, shaking, incontinence, my face freezes can't smile, - i have seen him twice and no diagnosis.

I saw Dr Gierke for treatment of a movement disorder while pregnant. At first, he was easy to talk to and understanding of a tough situation-having few medication options while pregnant and taking meds that I wasn't fully comfortable with. At my last visit, his demeanor changed. He was sarcastic and disrespectful, and insinuated that my OB wasn't aware of the medication I was taking, which was untrue. He reduced the amount of medication I had been taking for months and rather give me time to wean down or talk to me about how to manage the change in the privacy of the exam room, he walked out of the room and I had to follow him to ask more. We ended up standing at the checkout desk, with other patients and doctors and I tried to ask how to manage the change in medication. He refused, simply said "You'll be fine" and left. This is no way to treat a patients privacy. It is also particularly dangerous to leave a pregnant woman without enough medication, which is what happened in the end.
