I had a progressive darkening of the skin around my ankles , up to my calves even down around my toes. I had previously seen a cardiologist (2) , internist, neurologist. and family practitioner in the past 5 years, not concerning the dark spots but for other issues. However, I did ask these other professional what could be causing the black tinting of the skin one cardiologist asked if I washed my ankles - other doctors thought it was stasis.

Dr. Gerber looked and asked how long had I been taking Minocycline.for acne? He had never prescribed it to me, nor did I mention it. Bingo! That was it - 20 years. He indicated that I had one of the most advanced discoloring that he had seen - ever. While unsightly it is not a indicator of something else. Switching meds I noticed a dramatic muting in the darkness level of the discoloration. Not perfect but awesome to know that it is not stasis nor poor circulation.

I have $200 dollars in compression socks if someone is interested.

I would not recommend Dr. Howard Gerber to anyone paying in cash/without insurance. Dr. Gerber treated me Like I was less of a Person. he did not shake my hand or look me in the eye the entire time of my visit. (Which was very short) He seemed to be in a real rush and I bit upset. I do not have Health insurance do to my current employer. However I did pay the asking cash price. Overall it was poor service, and Dr. Gerber, MD proscribed me with expensive medication that seems to have ZERO affect on my psoriasis. I feel I could have gotten better care from another physician.

They were by far one of the best I've ever seen in their field. It was obvious that they've been exceeding their clients' expectations for many years. Every time I come here they always remember me by name and greet me as soon as I walk in the door, even if it's been months since my last appointment. They are so thoughtful and amazingly sweet, I just love this place. They were very polite and helpful and made sure that I had everything I needed. They're always able to answer simple questions over the phone. They only make me schedule appointments if necessary.
