He let me talk but did not listen except in a superficial way during initial office visit in 2016. He was the surgeion who did my second total knee joint replacement. I did not stress my age, or othr cautionary conditions such as obesity during office visits prior to surgery. And there was no discussion of which, if any, anti-clotting prophylaxis he would order post surgery. My desired outcome from the knee surgery was only partially realized – no more pain and no dimple in my knee. Today I still use a mobility aid to walk.

He let me talk but did not seem to hear what I said except in a superficial way during initial office visit in 2016. Because I did not question Dr Garelick’s post-op order for nothing but aspirin I now take a blood thinner that costs up to $6000 each year and has a seldom-available antidote. I was rushed to the ER Dept twice for blood clots in the 1-1/2 years after he did a total knee joint replacement on my left leg. I got a 2nd opinion that was non-committal. After the last trip I was put on this expensive super thinner wi... read more

I injured my shoulder playing hockey earlier this year. Dr. Garelick was awesome! He was confident that an injection would do the trick and that PT would not help. His diagnosis was spot on. It’s been 10 days and I’m back playing hockey, the pain is gone, and no more pain at night. Thanks Dr. G!!

Dr Garelick did my total knee joint replacement. Neither pre-op "class" mentioned specific blood thinner meds after surgery. Dr G prescribed only aspirin. At 8 days post-op admitted thru Emergency w/1 blood clot and skin infection. 1 week complete bed rest w/IV blood thinner & antibiotics. Follow-up office visits not very reassuring. 2nd opinion said healing was proceeding normally, may need more PT. Dr G upset, said he did not believe blood clot ever existed, did not view sonogram.

Dr Garelick and his staff are really responsive and effective. He helped me enormously with a tenacious shoulder problem. Everyone at IBJI at the California Avenue office is excellent. I have also had my hip replaced by Dr Ackerman at this practice. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone there.

Surgeries I have had by doc...left bicep reattachment, trigger finger release, both shoulders orthopedic surgery and two knee fractures. I have also seen doc for various injuries. I have had both a kidney and pancreas transplant and have been on dialysis four times a week for the past six years and never had a complication after any of my surgeries. Doctor Garlick is the best!

I have met with Dr. Garelick numerous times for my numerous injuries (ankle, knee, shoulder, other ankle, not in that order). I recommend him to anyone who needs help. He is fantastic. I would give him 10 stars if I could.
