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 highly recommend Dr. Gitelis and his team!

Dr Gitelis answers questions directly, clearly and understandably. He explains his recommendations for treatment plans and listens to my questions/concerns. I believe he is highly skilled, based on my recovery and successful treatment. He is supportive of his colleagues and staff, a reassuring quality for me as a patient. He is patient with my questions, and sometimes relates his answers to his own health and age, instilling confidence that he understands my perspective on my own health and age. He is accessible. He seems energetic and is consistently cheerful, which I find reassuring. His demeanor, communication and general manner make me comfortable, and leave me feeling like a member of my health care team, and not a passive consumer.

Dr. Gitelis was knowledgeable, professional and reassuring. His years of experience and reputation led me to choose him for a new ortho issue I had. I’m a Rush nurse and have recommended him to family and friends.

Dr. Gitelis performed surgery on a Giant Cell Tumor I had several months ago. I was in pain for over a year suffering until I found out what was wrong and was referred to Dr. Gitelis. I am grateful for what he's done for me and I am on the road to a full recovery. He and his staff are excellent. I would highly recommend if you need an orthopaedic oncologist.

I had pain from a bone tumor in my toe that kept me from running. Other foot specialists contemplated removing the toe, but Dr. Gitelis confidently evaluated the toe and determined that a tumor extraction with a hip bone graft would be best. He answered all of my questions @ each visit! After 3 months, I was able to walk and return to training. Then, after 6 months, I was able to race the Chicago Marathon. Thank you to Dr. Gitelis & his great staff...nothing but gratitude for your great work

You have to approach every patient in a unique way, and that's the reason for the multispecialty tumor board where you can have many physicians look at the patient and what is the best treatment plan. So there's 20 or 30 doctors that are involved,...read more
