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.

Dr. Geldwert is the best! He did both bunion surgeries for me over ten years ago, and as a very active walker/runner, I am SO glad I went to him. And even though I live across the country now, I still recommend friends to see him first and would myself travel for his opinion should I need anything in the future. Thank you, Dr. Geldwert! His office was also super helpful.

The front desk is a horror. They are no help in getting pre-approval, trying to get a refund from them is impossible. The front desk has an attitude and is incompetent. Avoid this Dr at all costs!

Don't even bother. Office is dated, not clean and run like a clinic. When they answer the phone, available appointment window to see any physician is worse than bankers hours. Geldwerts arrogance overshadows any expertise. Sorry...there are more qualified more attentive surgeons. Never again.

Had 3 major surgeries in 2 years+, 2 on my feet by Doctor Geldwert (other spinal). I know a good MD. He listened to all of all my complaints and problems then discussed all pros and cons including my concerns. Explained every detail to me of what was going to be done surgically and post. Encouraged me to take my time in decision making. X-ray machine on premises for immediate determination of what would need to be done during op and post op monitoring. Great staff, call & email appt reminders.
