Dr Gilsdorf is a caring and truly talented and professional doctor. He is not concerned about a quick and easy fix , he takes the time need to evaluate the problem and give solutions to resolve the problem that is right for you . He is punctual and his staff is very helpful and professional. It was a pleasure to go to a doctor that showed that much attention to your needs and not like you were just a number for the day

Dr. Gilsdorf has been our Ortho Surgeon for a number of years and we trust him implicitly. He has repaired my husband's knees 3 times and my shoulder. I wouldn't go anywhere else! He's a great communicator and give you plenty of options.

After a very careful and calculated consultation with Dr. gilsdorf I am grateful to be under his care to repair a shoulder injury. It was a very careful and conscientious and educational approach to the injury and the decisions to move forward.

I have complete faith in Dr. Gilsdorf . He did my knee replacement and has since treated me for rotator cuff problems. A true professional and a caring doctor. Always treats me with respect and explains everything so I can understand the problem and course of treatment. I highly recommend him!
