Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent, caring, dedicated professional
Dr. Gitelman is a great doctor. He cares about what is happening to my Mom and strives to help me understand the situation she is in, and how I can help her. He listens to my concerns, hears my questions, and answers them as best he can. He explains treatment options clearly, and helps me stay realistic about what can and can't be done. Highly recommended.

Dr. Gitelman is the consumate professional. He is thorough, caring, compassionate, understanding. He listens to me, to my concerns. He answered all of my questions. He has my best interest in mind. He treated me with dignity and respect. I value his opinion and treatment. Unlike many physicians, he was not rushed. He spent as much time with me as I needed. I waited many months to get in to see him. He is worth the wait. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Gitelman was one of the most thorough doctors my father had ever seen. He spent a long, unhurried amount of time with us, listened and answered questions patiently. A year later, when an issue arose, and I couldn't get my father to his appointment, Dr. Gitelman called me, early morning after a holiday, and spent quite a bit of time discussing options for my father's care. I found him to be an exceptional doctor, from my experience.
