ABOUT US
Mark B. Gerber, MD
Neurosurgeon , Mark B. Gerber, MD practices full time in Naples, Florida and creates metal art in his spare time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Gerber and his son spent time together learning how to weld by watching YouTube videos and from real welders (such as at Southern Service and Repair in Naples). He has created all different types of creatures. “It’s a lot like operating. It’s very meticulous,” said Dr. Gerber “It’s very slow. It’s very controlled.”
One project, the biggest Dr. Gerber has ever made, is a several hundred-pound metal bear named “Teddy the Bear.” The bear took six months to make standing around 3 feet tall, made with solid metal inside and out, along with his set of golf clubs. “My favorite time to start is 2 a.m. on Saturdays,” said Gerber “It’s so peaceful outside and with some country music in the background, it’s the perfect time to relax and have some downtime.” According to Dr. Gerber, he uses repurposed hospital operating room equipment that can no longer be used.
