I have multiple experiences with Dr. Getelman including him performing a successful MCL on my right knee a few years back. Anytime my kids or friends have any knee related issues, I immediately send them to Dr. Getelman! His bedside manner, experience and competency is second to none and I trust him with not only my knees but my kids knees also!

As usual, I was comfortable but the wait time was indicative of a busy office. Not much to do about that as he and all the docs in this practice are thorough with their patients.

Professional and funny. Dr.Gettleman is knowledgable and I feel as though I'm in good hands for my shoulder surgery. The nurses and people at the front are very nice. And, making an appt and being reminded by text is easy and helpful.
