Eating an apple a day won’t keep locals away from this year’s favorite doctor. Trust and understanding are essential to Dr. Geiler, and he’s acquired both during his 11-year career in internal medicine. He feels fortunate to help people going through health transitions: “I don’t see it as a job, I see it as a privilege.” Being a great doctor, it seems, isn’t just in his heart, either. It’s in his blood: His brother is an internist as well.
