Absolutely LOVED Dr. Getzug. She's such a great doctor -- so humble, personable, kind, thoughtful and brilliant. She really thought outside the box about about my GI issues in a way that no other doctor has. She didn't rush and really respected my thoughts and concerns. I wish every doctor was like her as the world would be a better place! I'm so glad to be in her care and trust her more than anyone. She's a true standout.
