Dr Gesmundo has been my PCP for over 20 yrs and my kids since birth. He is exactly what a Primary Dr should be.. trustworthy knowledgable and humble. He listens! Which is seriously lacking in the medical field now. He LISTENS to concerns he considers everything I toss at him and even though we may not always come to the same conclusion I am never left uncertain. If I have ever pushed an issue he does stop and reexamine a possibility and that includes me as a patient and a mom. He takes what he does seriously. Some people are just meant to be Drs and he is one of them. Im thankful for him and the care we receive.

Dr. Gesmundo has been my PC for quite awhile. Every appointment he is extremely thorough. I have never felt rushed. It's obvious he has read any reports from other providers before my appointment and he is always up to date with everything.
