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. Gelfand is an excellent care provider. He listens to the patient, explains things well, is patient, kind, caring, respectful, supportive and not dismissive. I'm am so thankful for him.

Best Dr I've ever worked with
I have a complicated autoimmune history. I have been treated at UCSD and The Cleveland Clinic without success. The Director of Neurology at UCSD strongly urged me to see Dr. Gelfand, who he, who once served as a Director at both Cleveland and Harvard, referred to him as one of the best in the country. I'm so grateful that Dr. Gelfand agreed to take me on. Within 3 months, his team identified the cause of the debilitating pain that has plagued me for 4 years and saved me from a lifetime of agony. Not only is he a phenomenal Dr, he's a genuinely caring person with wonderful bedside manner. I couldn't be more grateful for him.
