Dr Gelfand is not local for me. If he practiced closer to where I live he'd have 10 stars

The only thing Dr Gelfand could work on is being a little more friendly; making a connection with his patient and finding out a little more about them than just the current surgical situation. It would help a lot of patients be less anxious about their current circumstances. He was very thorough and kind, so please don't misinterpret this constructive criticism.

He was the typical surgeon. Making me feel like he didn't have time for making decisions. I felt hurried.

Took 10 minutes to be acknowledged by receptionist. Dr. Gelfand couldn't download x-ray from my primary doctor, didn't take any x-rays, told me it was just arthritis. I told him there was a bone spur(per my primary doctor) that looked like a serrated knife on the x-ray and I was concerned about doing damage to my finger and getting scar tissue. He interrupted me and said it's just arthritis. I felt he didn't give me much information , but he asked me 5 times "Do you have any questions for me?" The nursing staff were very nice and helpful. Dr. Gelfand did give me a prednisone shot which he did very well.

I felt that some of the info I gave the provider was received as if I was silly to ask such a question. It almost seemed as If he was In a hurry to get the appt over with, that my comments were wasting time. I understand that physicians are Intelligent and busy, but Im not a physician and I wanted to clarify what I was hearing.

Physician was thorough with his examination, pertinent questions, and explanation of his course of treatment. He listened well and took abbreviated notes as we talked. I felt he explained well so that I understood everything. His injection of the steroid into the inflamed area was fantastic and I had no pain and only had to take a couple of Tylenol that night. The next day the inflammation was down and I was able to get better movement of the thumb with little discomfort. As the days have passed I have much more movement and a lot less pain.

The dr. wanted me to have an MRI on my hand. Because I have a TENS unit in my back. I can't have an MRI.

This is by FAR the WORST Dr I have EVER seen. He was arrogant and rude. I told him how painful my finger was he seemed like it was huge inconvenience to have to numb it. Than he didn't ask if it was numb yet just started pulling and poking. When I told him he was hurting me he said "I numbed it". He didn't seem to care about me or my injury at all, just an inconvenience in his schedule. He wrapped my finger so horribly and it hurt so badly I almost left there and went straight to the ER. I would avoid going back there at ALL costs. Would NEVER EVER recommend him to anyone!

very helpfull
Even though the MRI and x-ray showed a cyst. I am confused as to why this is not going to be removed. I have periods of pain, and not going to go away on its own. Will follow up with my provider
