Hip consult #2It was my first time seeing Doctor Gelb today for severe hip pain and he completely marginalized my pain while I was sobbing in his office. He also said nothing was wrong and suggested PT even though the chief of ortho at mercy hospital, Dr. Hungerford explained to me clearly what is wrong and suggested surgical intervention as a treatment method.Dr. Gelb referred me to “physical therapy” which is absolutely awful as I am bed bound from the pain and can barely walk.Anyways don’t see this guy, he absolutely sucks and should be replaced and have his medical license revoked. So tired of wasting my time on idiots who could care less about helping people.Thanks a lot Dr. Gelb

Both my husband and I are patients of Dr Gelb.My husband needed a copy of his xrays and was told it would cost $10 for the DVD. I have never been charged for a copy of a scan before by any doctors office. In fact I recently requested my entire 9 yr history of scans from Advanced Radiology which were 6 DVDs and they didnt charge me a penny and included the notes as well. If you pay for the xrays you should not be charged for a copy of it. Period! It sends a very negative message to your patients.

I had a horrible experience with this doctor. When concerns were raised about a specific treatment he recommended instead of explaining his reasoning and easing our anxieties, he stormed out of the and didn’t even explain how long the alternative treatment should be used for not how to move forward. When questioned he acted like a child. I’ve truly never witness such unprofessionalism in my life. Any doctor but him. The rest of the staff was great though!

Dr. Gelb did not listen to everything I told him about my problem. He was not very professional as he spoke quite loudly in the hallway so that all could hear what he was saying. He wanted to do a knee rep,ace,net without even ordering a MRI. I went for a second opinion, received an MRI and found out all I have is a meniscus tear.

Repaired my completely torn ACL and surgery couldn’t have gone smoother. 2 weeks later, I’m seeing amazing progress compared to the norm. Recovery is going great, and believe a large part of that is due to diligent work on Dr. Gelb’s part.

I have had the pleasure of seeing two doctors within CAO. At least 2 or 3 visits were appointments made the same day or the day before. Knowing I was likely worked into a busy schedule I was prepared to wait. Yet every time I hardly sat down in the waiting room before being brought back. Front desk staff as well as back office staff are very friendly and efficient. I didn’t wait long for the doctor (most recently Dr Gelb who is just amazing and friendly). I felt like he l listened to me and was quite accommodating to my needs. I highly recommend the practice as a whole and specifically Dr Gelb and Dr Sethi although I get the sense that all the providers are just as good. Seriously. Can’t recommend this practice enough!

I cant even give him 1 Star..Dr. Gelb, is a horrible arrogant, unethical and egotistical doctor!He was the on call doctor at the ER when my son broke his ankle on the weekend during a Rugby game. Dr. Gelb was too lazy to come into the ER to see him but told the ER we could come to his office on Monday at 8am. So, we went to his office that Monday at 8am. We filled out all the typical paperwork etc. and waited for over an hour. All while my 16 y/o son is still in horrible excruciatingly pain. When its our time to see the doctor (the office realizes they dont take our insurance). Dr. Gelb then refused to see us unless we paid the full price for the visit and anything else that might need to be done which was more than I had in my pocket or checking account. Not caring that my 16 y/o is in tears and excruciating pain.Before telling the ER to have us come into his office on Monday, Dr. Gelb should have checked all this out, our insurance etc. He had all that information readily available to him when the ER called him to come into work and when he set up the appointment with the ER for my son to go to his office.I am so glad we didnt go to him. My son obviously didnt and wouldnt have received adequate and professional care.Thankfully, after leaving Dr. Gelbs office we found the greatest doctor in the world who performed the surgery to repair the numerous breaks in his ankle 2 days later.

DR. Ira D Gelb performed total shoulder replacement surgery on my left shoulder doctor Gelbs Negligence surgery caused me to suffer extreme pain and suffering.including complications cause by an infection. He is a liar and he ruined my life. DO NOT go to him.

Very Good Dr, conscientious,knowledgeable, helpful, and caring, and I have seen him over the last 2 yrs for different knee issues. HOWEVER TODAY I waited over 50 minutes to see him and finally left. Watched many patients come and go. Not good in front office, very rude Appt taker, she asked my name 3x when I inquired why it was taking so long each time I went up to her station. Very discouraging. A real shame.

Dr. Gelbs team was thoughtful, considerate, organized and efficient. I thank them for direction and support on a challenging day.

Dr. Gelb was great! Appointment was easy to schedule, on time and he was kind, informative; and Ill definitely be going back to him if Im ever in need of an orthopedic again.

My son and daughter have both seen doctor Gelb for shoulder, knee and wrist injuries. He performed shoulder surgery on my sons torn labrum. My husband and I were very pleased with Dr. Gelbs work with both of our children. He is knowledgable, patient and kind. Good sense of humor also.

Long waits to see him and he had a negative comment about everything I asked. Some of the comments he made about my knee pain was very rude. Decided to get a second opinion and very happy with my choice.

Dr Gelb definitely knows his trade. Courteous and listens to analyze the problem.
