Patient Reviews

I am so eternally thankful for Dr. Getelman’s skillful repair of my right shoulder.  Pain is mostly absent. Limitations are great, as far as weight bearing and quick muscle movements, but the absence of pain has greatly made sleep, reaching for items, using a kitchen knife once again, washing my hair and brushing my teeth “normal” once more. – John P

I appreciated the personal attention. Dr. Getelman was very easy to talk to, he was very clear in explaining my condition and the procedure. He was very efficient while maintaining a very good patient/doctor interaction. – Anonymous Patient

Everything. Most positive experience I’ve had with any Doctor. He really cares about his patients and takes the whole procedure and recovery very seriously. He tells it like it is and is genuinely concerned with your medical condition and bringing his patients back to full recovery. – Anonymous Patient
