Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saw me for all of 5 minutes, interrupted me multiple times when I was trying to explain the pain I have been dealing with for half a decade. While I was waiting in the office for his nurse to come back overheard other nurses complaining about a a foreign, hard of hearing patient in lobby. Later charges me over $150 for a visit and a cast I literally had to super glue together the day after I was given it. I am sure hes a decent surgeon but I will never step foot in this guys office again.

Dr. Gelberman did carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand. He did not order nerve conduction test to verify carpel tunnel in my hand. It turned out that the cause of my problem was in my cervical spine and his surgery was not necessary or called for.

I had a very painful tumor on my finger for over 10 years and no other doctor knew what it was. Dr. Gelberman knew right away exactly what it was and removed it. From the time I first saw him until surgery, it was just over 2 weeks! I had zero pain post-op. His office and the surgical facility are excellent also.

Dr. Gelberman operated both of my hands to fix the trigger fingers. He is an excellent surgeon, extremely knowledgeable and caring physician, who explains the problem and the treatment in very easy to understand terms. I was able to get an urgent pre-op appointment and I felt well taken care of during the operation and in the post-op phase. I would highly recommend doctor Gelberman to my friends and family. Thank you!
