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
I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. G. From the very first consultation to post-surgery follow-ups, I felt completely confident and cared for every step of the way. He took the time to thoroughly explain md what to expect before and after surgery. I was completely nervous and did not know what to expect. His expertise, attention to detail, a helped ease my anxiety and made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. He answered all of my questions... I cannot say enough about him, his skill, and demeanor!The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than I ever expected. I’m back walking pain-free!Highly recommend to anyone in need of exceptional orthopedic care.

Great explanation of what he was going to do. He called me the night before the surgery to make sure I was okay and that he would be making me feel a whole better when surgery was done. It did put me at ease.

I had a wonderful experience. Dr Gebrelul explained in a way that was easily understandable. He said I was an excellent candidate for a partial knee replacement and why. I had interaction with 2 other Orthopedic surgeons and they were going to do a full knee replacement. He explained why a partial would be good for me and showed me on my xrays why. No previous Dr took the time to explain and show me. He was willing to spend the time with me, he answered all my questions!!

After having been denied further testing by another doctor, my second opinion appointment with Dr. Gebrelul revealed that I needed - in his words - a new hip 'yesterday.' He and his staff made it happen within a few weeks, and their detailed attention made recovery easy. Grateful! Highly recommended.

From the first appointment, to surgery, to finish, Dr G and his staff the entire process was great. I loved the Force apt which provided daily guidance and reassurance, plus offered all the exercises need for that specific time of rehab. This is by far the best medical experience! I would highly recommend Dr. G and the Anderson clinic. So grateful I was able to be treated there.

Dr. G is one of the most knowledgeable, professional and competent surgeon I have ever met! After FIVE failed surgeries from my previous surgeon, Dr. G finally has me on the road to recovery. If your are experiencing pain and a lower quality of life because of your knee issues, I urge you to make an appointment and see for yourself. Thank you Dr. G and your phenomenal Staff for being there for me.

Exceptional Surgeon!!!
I cannot begin to express what an incredible doctor Dr. Gebrelul has been. From the moment I met him, he has been thoughtful, confident and caring. He has answered my dozens of questions, even responding to occasional emails on a wknd. My hip was horribly painful and he scheduled the surgery during our first visit. He and the Anderson Clinic staff got me through the process and into surgery within 3 weeks. He checks in on his patients, always has a smile, and is extremely knowledgeable. My lifestyle is almost back to normal, not even a month post-surgery. Dr. G is really exceptional!

I highly recommend Dr. Gebrelul. I had a very positive experience with my total hip replacement surgery. I felt supported from pre to post surgery. My recovery continues to go quickly and smoothly. I am extremely pleased with my results.

The Best
Dr. G is absolutely the best. His careful attention to detail and warm patient manner was the best. This was my first surgery and from the very beginning he explained the procedure, what to expect and addressed my concerns. I felt very cared for and very lucky to have found him. There is a potential I will need my left knee done and you can be sure I will go to Dr. G.

It has been two months since my Right Knee Total Knee Replacement. The surgery was completely successful and post surgery clinic and home physical therapy has made it possible to recover quickly. While the recovery process continues, my mobility with no pain is getting greater every day. I am contemplating the same procedure for my other knee by Dr. Gebrelul.
