Dr Gaertner is excellent. He called in two medications for me. The pharmacy was out of stock on the first one and they no longer carry the second one. I called BSW and the ladies who answered were very helpful. I am waiting to see if perhaps another medication can be called in for me. This situation is not Dr Gaertner's fault. He has always been very knowledgeable and professional in all my dealings with him. He is definitely a valuable asset to the BSW team.
