Howard J Gelb, MD

My 10 year old fractured her wrist and I called to several orthopedic doctors who couldn’t squeeze her in got an appointment in several days. A friend recommended This place and they got us in right away! They were very courteous and attentive. I would highly recommend Dr Clive who was super nice and cracked jokes to make our daughter feel comfortable.

There are two things that I completely despise. Those are taxes and going to a Dr’s office. Dr. Gelb’s facility is the exception. I suffered a wicked ankle sprain last year while exercising. I made the stupid mistake of going to an MD now immediately as opposed to visiting an orthopedic. After being in severe pain for over a week I knew that I would have to visit an orthopedic. Dr. Gelb’s office came highly recommended to me from a few friends. I finally set up an appointment and made it in fairly quickly.
The gal that checked me in made it quick and painless. There wasn’t as much paperwork to fill out as I had expected. Once checked in I enjoyed the comfortable chairs in the waiting room.
Thankfully I didn’t have to wait too long to see the Dr., which usually seems to always be the case and the reasoning of why I avoid the Dr. unless I’m 5′ 11″ in my grave.
I knew that I was in good hands when I saw all of the photos of the professional athletes that had their treatments done here. That definitely helped put me at ease.
I ended up having Dr. Woods whom is the foot and ankle specialist at this practice. He gave me a brief introduction on his background. After going through my X-​rays from MD now, he then began his examination of my foot and ankle. After my diagnosis he informed me of the physical therapy regimen that would be necessary for my recovery. Dr. Woods also broke the bad news that I would have to wear a stupid boot for about 6 weeks :(I ended up purchasing the boot directly after my visit at their physical therapy office located next door.
Naturally there were several follow up visits to check on my progress. Dr. Woods for the most part didn’t keep me waiting for too long. There were a couple of occasions when it seemed like an eternity of waiting. The flip side to that was that the practice was busy and they take their time with the patients.
All in all I had a great experience here and was happy with the level of care, and treatment, that I received from Dr. Woods and staff. If you’re in need of seeing a orthopedic, I highly recommend Dr. Gelb’s practice. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Gelb is an OUTSTANDING SURGEON!!! I have been going to him for 20+ years. His skill and bedside manner are rare to find among doctors of his caliber. Thank you for my new hip I am so happy to not have pain in that hip anymore. 3 more joints to go
