He has pushed us to a healthy active life,… See more
After suffering a stroke when I was out of town, Dr. Gassner was a comfort to
me and explained what had happened and how lucky I was to still be walking and talking. He then proceeded to take care of my needs, all the tests that needed to be done, any other doctors I was to see and recommended a doctor to do the needed surgery. I am very happy with his care going forward and I am… See more
Our doctor is extremely caring and has always been there to answer any questions that we have at any time of the day. He returns all calls within 30 minutes or less. He spends so much time with you when you are at his office and he never rushes you. He is a fabulous doctor and is so incredible at helping you understand all that is going on with you. We feel very lucky to have him as our… See more
Dr. G is my salvation. Whether I am at an appointment or calling for immediate help, he always has time. In May of 2011, he responded to my call that I had a 99 blocked carotid artery. This was found by Lifeline Screening. He immediately set me up for another ultrasound, which confirmed the prior result. Then I had a 3D cat scan which reconfirmed and I was then scheduled for hospital… See more
We are so pleased to have Larry Gassner as our personal physician. Not only has he helped us with the many health problems that typically arise as we age, but he has been a true friend whose suggestions have improved our quality of life. His genuine concern for our wellbeing, both physical and emotional, is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Larry!

Dr. Gassner is one fine doctor. Period! In fact, he's the best sawbones I've ever been treated by. However, I still think he should remove his ring when he slips on the latex glove!!!!!
Dr. Gassner has helped my husband and I find a medical home that meets our needs. At first I thought MDVIP was a luxury for me as I have few medical issues. Now I consider it a necessity for both of us. He is a very good doctor and makes us want to lead healthier lifestyles!
Beyond the obvious, competency, we love Dr. Gassner's sense of humor, the easy access no matter where we are, the fact that he knows us and he listens even when the symptoms sound pretty crazy!
I like seeing Dr. Gassner. He spends the time I need with me, and does not rush me out. He explains things in a way I can understand.. When I have tests, he gives me the results by calling me the next day.
