Patient Reviews
Sep 25, 2018
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!
