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 was referred to Dr. Gertel by my regular Dr. for an Elbow issue I was having. Dr. Gertel discussed the options with me about what we could do to avoid surgery. I found Dr Gertel to be very communicative about what was going on. He always took his time with me. I never felt rushed in any questions or interaction we had. I also found him to have a very good sense of humor. In the end the treatment route we took was one that indeed did avoid surgery, and alleviated me of the pain I was experiencing.

I have been a patient of Dr Gertel (on and off) for several years and have had one surgery performed by him. He is an excellent, knowledgeable doctor and will exhaust all non-surgical options first. Very willing to answer questions in terms you can understand. I’ve never felt rushed during an appointment with him. Friendly support staff as well. Highly recommend!

When I came to Dr. Gertel. I was in a very dark place. This was the first time I had injured myself at work. I had no idea who to turn to to protect myself. I was researching doctors online and found Dr. Gertels workman's compensation page. I took a chance and contacted him. Thank goodness I did. Dr. Gertel is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. He treated me like a human being and addressed all of my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Ted Gertel!!!!
