Have known him and been a patient since he came here. Really trust him and his advice
Dr Gnirke is very thorough, thoughtful and educational. He and his team are everything you’d want in a provider. Thank you.
Dr. Gnirke take the time to get details and test performed before final evaluation. He soft spoken bed side manner that is the best I have run into in my 80 years!
Dr Gnirke and his PA Cora Zimmerman were absolutely top notch. Very knowledgeable and professional. Couldn’t have had a better experience!
Great at explaining the procedure and hopeful outcome.
Took his time during this initial visit to understand the issues & we came up with a plan to proceed. Felt he truly listened to me. I’ve seen many specialists over the years with this lower back pain but feel confident that Dr Gnirke will explore all options cautiously to help me find relief.
He is so kind and really helps my pain immediately!
