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.

I had had a chronic ear ache that I had talked to several doctors about (including ENT) prior to him. I Was actually being seen by Dr Gelow for something else that my primary care was not available so they gave me to him. I mentioned my ear. He listened to the history on my ear and asked some questions and had a diagnosis and what he told me to do worked 100%. He was with Banner at the time and no longer is so not in network with my insurance, sadly….

A fantastic doctor
He has taken great care of me for years. He has a great way of engaging a patient in their care. A consummate professional with a good sense of humor. I will continue to see Dr. Gelow for as long as he is in the Scottsdale area.

I’ve been blessed with Dr. Gelow’s care for three different moves in his career. His care of how you’re doing, his willingness to explain things and my favorite saying that he always says is how can I help you. He truly cares and that is why I drive an hour each way for over a decade because I trust him and I know he has my back on my health.

Dont just walk away, run!
Dr Gelow is a decent doctor, but you will never be able to see him and the office is terrible when it comes to prescription management. You will have a hard time getting the prescriptions you need and will not be seen when you need to be seen. I have never experienced this poor of health care in my life. Shame on all of them! They will kindly smile to your face and say we will get back to you and they never will.

Sends Rx to your Pharmacy without your consent
He sent a Rx to my pharmacy for a drug that I was specifically opposed to. In our last visit, he did not even discuss this option with me, yet sent the prescription to my pharmacy which was then approved by my insurance company, and mailed to my home. I don't understand why he is able to do this without the patient's consent.

Besides misdiagnosis and since late summer of 2022 seemed completely disinterested and cavalier in attitude and demeanor. Refusal to further authorize diagnostics for severe neck and shoulder issues.

Love him!
He is kind and compassionate. Very easy to speak with. Is always on time with appointments and doesn’t rush through you. The team he has working with him also reflects the same qualities. As a LGBTQIA+ person, this space me feel very comfortable.

Dr. Gelow is an amazing doctor. I found him through my insurance site and I am glad I did. I came to Dr. Gelow from a line of horrible doctors. I wrote a letter exactly how I felt about my past experiences and what I didn't want from a doctor. He has been kind and has listened to all my concerns. He also has answered every question I have had whether it was in person or through the banner portal. Recently his patient load seems to have blown up but he still takes the time during each visit.

Moved to the area and needed a new PCP. The Banner Health center opened and my husband initially went there for treatment for his diabetes. He really liked Dr. Gelow's approach to treatment, the easy going personality, and his willingness to listen. After I heard that, I booked myself in as I needed to be seen for wellness exams. Dr. Gelow was thorough, thoughtful in his approach, and easy to talk to about the concerns I brought to him. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Gelow is very thorough and detailed with his care for you. He looks at all angles of your health and doesn't just treat the symptoms. He encourages, educates and empowers you to take care of yourself. He has a great personality and makes you feel comfortable talking him to about everything. So glad I was referred to him. My husband, myself and now my 80 year old Grandma are grateful for his care.

Horrible service!! I called in to request an annual wellness exam and to establish care as a new patient because I needed a new family physician. The receptionist INSISTED I provide an "ailment" to book an appointment. At her refusal to schedule my appointment without an ailment I relented and provided one so I could see the doctor. Now instead of my free annual wellness exam I am being charged almost $300 for my visit. This would not be an issue if I actually was treated for something!
