I have a high regard for Dr. Gerhardt, but it is difficult to speak to his support staff. When I call other doctor's offices, I can usually speak to someone that day. Contacting anyone specific in the SMOG office is like arranging an audience with the pope. It usually takes almost a week. Also, I have gotten inaccurate and delayed information from people in his office. This is very stressful and frustrating. I would like to change doctors simply because of this.
