Skilled surgeon so the rumor goes. BUT is that enough to make up for a very rude and dismissive attitude toward patients and the staff he was working with? I am pretty sure it is not when there are so many options?

I had an open ventral hernia repair and everything went 100% as expected. Dr. Gerndt was pleasant and informative on our first visit. The office was very professional, organized, and clean. Surgery was scheduled within a week of my first visit at the Cookeville Regional Medical Center. I was in and out the same day. The nursing staff took good care of me. Although I was still a little groggy from surgery I do remember the dr talking to me and asking me if I had any questions. Recovery also went as expected. My post-surgery a... read more

Dr Gerndt was right to the point and very thorough. I asked him a question to test him, listened to his answer and then tried to dissuade him. He was adamant and decisive. That is exactly what you want in a surgeon! I didn’t get a second opinion but had the hernia repaired and the results were so much better than years ago.

I was told Dr. Gerndt is an excellent surgeon, and I still believe that. However, he made no effort to explain the procedure to me before it was done, and I did not see him afterward. During the surgery he spoke to me twice even though he kept up a steady conversation with the nurse assisting him. He probably spent a grand total of 45 min. with me, and that included the surgical procedure.
