I have complete confidence in Dr. Getzug, and with good reason. She has provided me with supportive, expert care for many years. She is a good listener and she expresses herself clearly and concisely. I know that I am quite literally “in good hands” during a GI procedure performed by Dr. Getzug. I am grateful for the medical care that she provides.
