Dr. Gerdes is an excellent gastroenterologist affiliated with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He's an expert in Barrett's Esophagus and other GI disorders. And he's proficient in endoscopic procedures. He performed two endoscopic procedures on me that helped diagnose my condition. He was very thorough and took time to explain the results and the frequency of the cancer screening I would need in the future. I found him to be very personable with a great bedside manner. Also the continuity of care was great as his nurse works alongside him in the clinic and in the procedure room, so she too is familiar with your case.
