Dr. Gecelter is a professional without peer: highly intelligent and articulate, as empathetic and caring as he is gifted. He took time not just to explain everything but also to learn about me as a person. I cannot commend him enough. He truly sets the standard in medicine.

Dr.Gecelter explained my situation in detail about my cancer and what will be done to hopefully change my situation for the better I have faith in him and trust him.
