Dr Gera is very personable and knowledgeable. He listened carefully to my concerns and responded with my individual circumstances in mind. His recommendations were always clear and supported by explanations. I am in fact a repeat customer having been referred to Dr Gera for another issue in the past; for my recent concern he was my easy first choice. On my previous referral, even after my care was transferred more locally to me, Dr Gera continued to check in with me to see I was receiving appropriate treatment and to answer fully and frankly the follow up questions I had. I really appreciated this level of support and kindness at a worrying and stressful time for me, and I found him a reassuring presence throughout. I am also grateful that I could ask ‘what if’ type questions to Dr Gera and get a proper response (the let’s cross that bridge when we come to it approach doesn’t work well for me as I prefer to be armed with the detail, and Dr Gera has always answered all my questions).

Dr Gera was warm from start to finish during my appointments with him. He explained symptoms and treatments confidently and clearly, without being pushy: always invitational. It was clear Dr Gera had a depth of experience with patients similar to me, which helped in understanding my own symptoms and identifying a solution. Because of Dr Gera's efficiency, I had completed blood and stool tests within 24 hours of my first appointment, and I understood the results and a plan to manage my symptoms by the end of my second appointment.
