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.

My husband (cardiac patient) saw Dr G for a tennis ball-size growth on his elbow. The PA diagnosed bursitis, Dr agreed. He didn’t x-ray or aspirate. He said the growth would subside in 3 mos. Seven days later, it ruptured. Orthopedist in different practice palpated, x-rayed, aspirated, cultured fluids, prescribed antibiotics. It was infected with MRSA. Untreated, he wouldn't be here today but I'd own OrthoAtlanta. Surgery, picc line, 6 wks of IV antibiotics, more testing & he was non-infectious.

Time spent and information received from Dr. Gajewski was very informative and helped me decide on the knee surgery. The method of partial knee replacement was also welcome because of the recovery time etc.

Dr. Gajewski arrived very promptly for my appointment, I did not spend time sitting and waiting in either waiting room. He was extremely personable, patiently listened, and was willing to answer any questions I asked. It was a joy dealing with a medical professional that not only listened but explained the procedure and why it is necessary. I was not made to feel as if he did not have time for me . I am very impressed with Dr. Gajewski and would highly recommend him to other patients.
