Dr. Jon Bernhard Getz, MD

Dr. Getz proposed a plan to cut with no follow up diagnostic testing for spread of melanoma. Fortunately I went elsewhere for wide excision, skin graft (which he said would not take, but was 100% successful), and sentinel node mapping and removal. I had positive lymph nodes and subsequently had treatment with immune therapy. It frightens me to think about what would have happened if I had followed his plan. If you have a primary melanoma, please be sure to see a melanoma specialist for treatment. Dr. Getz should not be trusted.

Dr Getz has done surgery on me three separate times. Once for my parathyroid gland in 2008, once for breast cancer in 2006 and once to prevent breast cancer in 2018. You won't find a more thorough, caring or thoughtful surgeon. His hugs are great too! Thank you Dr. Getz for being the best. I hope you will still be practicing if I ever need surgery again.

Dr. Getz gives the best hugs in the world!

Dr. Getz is a no nonsense Doctor that takes pride in what he does, he is a professional and thanks to his dedication to his profession I am alive today I wish I could do more to thank him, words are not enough, I wouldn't hesitate to have him for my surgeon if I ever need one in the future he will tell you he's just doing his job but there's more a lot more Thanks again Dr. Getz

Dr. Getz represents himself as an expert in various surgical procedures. He is an expert in none, he is a general surgeon, a jack of all trades. He horrifically maimed me for life in the surgery he performed. He is dishonest and unethical and incompetent, just look at the high number of medical malpractice lawsuits filed against him. He provided no follow-up and no accountability.

Dr. Getz saw my mother today to discuss her gall bladder and pending surgery. He was both professional and caring with her and greatly eased her concerns about her surgery.

Incredible Doctor!!!!! Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable & empathetic. THANK YOU DR. GETZ.......I FEEL AMAZING :)

My husband went in for emergency surgery (appendix). A simple 45 minute procedure took over 4 hours because he was virtually "gutted". His appendix was not where it was supposed to be so he was cut from coast to coast. The radiologist and surgeon who got the X-ray should have known but they ignored the facts. Complications caused two more emergency surgeries and a heart attack. Steer clear! Also, St. Luke's couldn't care less about what happened to us!

Hides his huge ego behind his so called "great" bedside manner. He kissed me in the hospital, very weird and not comforting, an invasion of space. When my lung collapsed after a procedure he did he was no where in site but when I called his office about it I get a very unfriendly and rude receptionist that demanded me to get there as soon as possible even though I had taken it upon myself to go to the hospital because I COULDNT BREATHE! Does not listen to patient concerns and told me to break my pain management contract with my back doctor so he didn't have to write a new prescription for the same exact medicine I was taking for my back. my Pain Dr was very unhappy with this. when I try to bring this up with his nurse she basically condescending and unhelpful. I would never step foot in his office again, let alone let him near me with a scalpel. Filing complaints with medicare and the medical board for poor medical treatment.

Take my advice see a specialist, not a 'general surgeon' like Dr. Getz who is being sued for medical malpractice.
