Was so rude to me. I have NEVER been talked to like that. He yeld at me because I was not familiar with dupren contraction????
Horrible bedside manner and very rude. He apparently forgot that he would be my employee. Guess what? He's FIRED. When I asked questions, he got frustrated and walked out of the room in the middle of my exam and said "then get a second opinion." No, I got a better doctor.
Dr. Gelb performed carpal release surgery on both my wrists, and also diagnosed arthritis in my thumb. Both of my surgeries went great, minimal recovery pain and scarring. He also has a great reputation amongst local physical therapists. He's one of the best and most caring doctors I've ever been too, and truly puts his patients first. I would highly recommend him!
After 14 ortho surgeries I think I'm well qualified to make a judgement on an ortho doctor. If you're looking for a "buddy" doctor Dr Gelb is not your guy. If you want a well qualified professional then Dr Gelb is your guy. He explained my options to the nth degree as opposed to another hand specialist who only said "yeah I can fix it". He's very carefully/compassionately shot up my thumb 3X's now and when I do get my surgery Dr Gelb will be the guy.
He's very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor, but he's not a great listener. I felt like I had to stop him constantly and just reiterate what I was trying to say because it was falling on deaf ears. Eventually I got everything across, but it was tough.
Dr. Gelb has been awesome at explaining everything that is going on with my thumb. He has not been one to just jump into surgerymhe has suggested a few this to try first. When the time comes that I will eventually need the surgery it will definitely be with Dr. Gelb
Very caring, professional, listens, conscientious, good sense of humor but be open to it.
Office staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Did not feel rushed and all of my questions were answered.
