“This is my second situation with my hand that Dr. G was extremely helpful with. The first was an infection caused by a dog bite, and the second was yesterday when I slammed my finger in a door. He did a quick procedure that immediately alleviated my throbbing, terrible pain. He is so competent and is one of the only doctors that I trust without question. As a medical reporter, I can say from deep knowledge and experience that they don’t make ‘em like him anymore. 10 stars.”

Dr. Glickel was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to thoroughly explain de quervain's tenosynovitis to me and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend trying him out and plan to go back myself. The staff was also very patient and helpful when I had questions about my splint/insurance coverage.
April 15, 2026Initials hidden
The Dr I seen was very nice he had X-ray taken of hand and he went over the X-ray which me I truly believe he wished I would have seen him much sooner but he have a spit splint made for my hand to sleep in and a soft one to wear all day, which was very nice of him. Yes, I would recommend him.
April 7, 2026Barbara P.Verified patient

March 2, 2026Lillian P.Verified patient
Dr. Glickel was very knowledgeable and treated me quickly. I appreciated his patience and knowledge. I almost wasn't sure if it was worth it to see an orthopedist after I went to urgent care, but I'm glad I did. Highly recommend. The patient reviews are all true.
