Dr George Gertner Upper Cervical Chiropractic White Plains NY money hungry scam artist, lies about the cost of treatment to get you to pay hundreds for a consult then refuses to treat you without paying 6000 for a treatment plan White Plains New York
Dr Gertner is a predator he knows that the people who come to him a desperate, that they have exhasted all traditional medical treatments and are willing to try anything at this point, he promises them that he can cure them of anything that ails them and then makes them sign a piece of paper saying that he didn't promise anything.
I called his office to find out how much an office visit was because I was desperate they quoted me 85 dollars that was steep but I could make it work I Was one of the desperate people. They also said there was a one time consult and x-ray fee of 400 dollars. I saved up and went.
He promised me he could fix everything that was wrong with me, cure my pain all of it. It was a 2 hour drive there and back a long trip and very expensive but I had my first adjustment two days later and I felt hope for the very first time. I found out that they didn't take my insurance but at 85 dollars a pop I guess I could make it work. The worst was over the 400 dollars.
I came back and was presented with a treatment plan. 5800 if I paid up front or 6000 if I paid in monthly 375 dollar installments not including todays 85 dollar "office visit fee" I asked if I could just come for some visits the Dr said no it wouldn't work that way I had to come every week 2x a week.
This would cost me almost 200 more in travel every month bringing my monthly cost up to 575 I am on disabilty I get 850 and I pay for where I live and eat and put gas in my car off of that. He didn't care. He said that was it he wouldn't see me.
It was a total scam saying that the appointments were 85 dollars. I would never have spent 400 dollars on xrays because I would have known I could not have bought a treatment plan its a bait and switch totally a scam. Really a ripoff and totally unethical. He lures you in with the 85 dollar line and then gives you the hard sell.
He is completely unethical and cares about nothing but money. Healing and helping mean absolutly nothing to this man. Buyer beware!

I will Just summarize as my experience is very similar to jerryd and Kady75 Starts off with this elaborate set of X-Rays with a talking Machine and a Plate face Technician. Then the one leg is shorter than the other. Pushes under your ear and its a Miracle both legs are the same length. Then plate face sets you up for another X-Ray realigning your head over and over.
Now the Second visit comes the money scam approx. $5000.00 for the year. I asked If I could pay by the Visit he refused saying the secretary was way to busy to process me every visit. It took approx 20 seconds to scan my credit card and have me sign the ticket. Then she could return to filing her nails and wathing TV.
