Reviews of Dr. Debra S. Ganter, MD (Doctor)

Penny Edwards

I unexpectedly ended up giving birth at Lutheran hospital and thus, unexpectedly had Dr. Ganter attend the birth. Her bedside manner leaves something to be desired, she seems cold, uncomfortable and very impersonal. She did not entertain the idea of any of my birthing wishes, she broke my water without consent, she pulled my foley bulb while still inflated (ouch!) and although I asked not to be coached while pushing (as this was my 3rd birth and I felt confident in my own experience), she continued to yell at me to “bear down and push hard” when there was absolutely no need. The 6 week postpartum visit was completely a waste of time, as I spent far more time waiting then I got face-to-face with the Doctor. There was no actual concern whatsoever for my wellbeing, it seemed much more like a formality to her than a career she seems to care for. Dr. Ganter doesn’t seem to be good with people, nor good at birthing babies. I hope she goes into research instead.

Dr. Ganter has been my doctor for 34 years, and has been the doctor for several members of my family. She delivered my great neice 23 years ago and I can't say enough good things about her and her abilities. She is personable, funny, professional and unflappable in a crisis. I drive five hours to see her yearly and trust her and her decisions. Her staff is always helpful and calls are always returned in a timely manner. She's THE BEST.
