Dr. Gerke cared for myself, and other members of my family, for several years. I was saddened when he pursued other ventures. After seeing him here, I felt compelled to let all of his patients know that they could not find a more knowledgeable, caring or compassionate doctor to care for them. Dr. Gerke was never wrong on any diagnosis he made for any member of my family. With my family, he experienced about every situation that could be encountered. Not once did he waver from the person I encountered from the very first appointment. I have experienced many doctors since. Dr. Gerke has always stood "heads above" any of them.

I have been seeing Dr Gerke since 1992 -- before he entered private practice, when he was a resident at the Walk-In Center at University Hospital, Cincinnati. When he entered private practice, I just had gotten Medicare, and asked him to take me on. I cannot say too many good things about him; I count him not only as my doctor but also as a friend. I have a lot of medical problems, including severe chronic pain. He always is there when I need his help -- extremely professional but also a warm, suppportive human being. A few years back, there was the danger of my insurance no longer including Dr Gerke's group; I was fully prepared to change insurance so as to keep Rob Gerke as my doctor.

I have been seeing Dr.Gerke sense 1994. He is the best. I always walk out of his office feeling cared for. I trust him completely. I have been very sick for about 8 years and he is always right there when I need him. I am very happy with him and hope to be able to keep seeing for a very long time.
