Terrible experience. Spent no time with me. Barely did an exam. Did not allow me to speak to explain my situation. He seemed arrogant and disinterested. He also mentioned surgery on the first visit, after five minutes. I will never go back to Dr. Gelb.

Dr Gelb is great. He is very friendly and personable. He discussed the course of treatment options in detail. I highly recommend him!

So I was not impressed despite some FB props. He didn't really listen to me at all and recommended surgery quickly on the first visit. I got 2 other opinions for non operative treatment....glad I did. Waited a long time too.

Without even trying PT or a shot all he wanted to do is operate on my shoulder after a 2 second apt. I went to the group next door and thanks to PT my bursitis / partial cuff is healed. Not a nice guy or correct....

Dr. Ira was very friendly and disarming. Made my son very comfortable. That made me happy. Would gladly use his services again...although I hope we don't need to.
