very professional approach,incredible human factor,friendly environment,always available.

for the third time Dr. Glickel helping me and my family members to get out of very serious health issues.

GOD BLESS YOU!For many many more years to go.

Dr Glickel is not only warm, knowledgeable, and a good communicator, but he is also brilliant at what he does. After my finger surgery, my physical therapist told me that she had never seen a patient recover so quickly. It has only been a few weeks since the surgery and I am already using my finger in my work fully again. I give all the credit to Dr Glickel. I wouldn't want a hand surgery by any other doctor.

Dr. Glickel's surgery and post surgical care could not have been improved upon. The professional, skilled, caring approach to all aspects of diagnosis, surgery and post surgical care led to complete rehabilitation of my thumb. I'm most appreciative of this positive experience.

I was amazed and pleased with my surgery (which i was dreading) and my post-op care from Dr Glickel...

I feel almost like my old self and look forward to continued progress.

Thank you, Dr Glickel and Team!

Dr. Glickel exceeded all of my expectations as both a surgeon and an attentive listener to the specific concerns I had related to my shattered left ring finger. He managed to work treatment of my injury around a month-long trip I had planned before starting law school. I am happy to say I typed this review pain-free only two weeks after having the pins removed from my finger.

It's rare that one enjoys needing to see a doctor, but when the doctor is so kind, patient and informative, it makes the visit pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Glickel.

Dr. Glickel is an excellent doctor. His honesty was encouraging, making sure I understood that nerve recovery is slow requiring patience and hard work.
He has continued overseeing my progress since I first saw him in Nov. after dislocating my elbow. After seeing me weekly and by weekly for months, he surgically released the scar tissue on my damaged nerve and sent me to occupational therapy.
After months of therapy and Dr. visits, I can do almost very activity I had lost. I am very grateful

exceeded my expectations, even for a nurse of almost 40 years experience !!

I have been treated by Dr. Glickel for years for basal joint arthritis of the right thumb. I was very reluctant to get surgery because my hobby is guitar playing. However, when the pain reached the point where I could no longer play at at all I had no choice. The internet was filled with scary tales; pain, suffering and loss of use. Dr. Glickel was reassuring.
After 12 weeks, I began to start playing again. Today, at 16 weeks I am back to practicing 45 minutes before I need to rest.

As a musician who uses hands/arms for my living, there is nobody other than Dr. Glickel I would go to, or recommend for specialty care. He's the best.

This is my second surgical experience with Dr. Glickel, the first was for a trigger finger on the same right hand, index finger Since then Dr. Glickel has treated my arthritic middle finger with steroid shots When my finger was swollen and often painful Dr. Glickel suggested surgery. All went well and we just removed the dressing from my surgical procedure. It is important to believe that one's doctor is not only a nice human being but also a superb surgeon, which is how I view Dr. Glickel.

Dr. Glickel explained the issues with my wrist and thoroughly described the options open to me during my first visit.
I felt very confident having Dr. Glickel perform my surgery and would recommend him to anyone with orthopedic issues. My follow up visits and recommendation for therapy helped me to regain my range of motion in a timely manner.
Dr. Glickel is a wonderful surgeon.

I found Dr Glickel and his staff were responsive and helpful.



Dr. Glickel was honest about my condition without creating unrealistic expectations. Stressing the slowness of nerve healing, I have been comfortable with the time it has taken to get back the usefulness of my left arm and hand.

Dr. Glickel operated on my hand 5 and 14 years ago. When I needed surgery on my other hand recently, I came back to Dr. Glickel even though I had moved 500 miles away because I trust him and I feel comfortable with him. All aspects of my treatment were excellent--visits before the surgery, the surgery itself, and follow up visits. You might have to wait a little bit at office visits because Dr. Glickel takes enough time with you (and the previous patents). He is an excellent dr. and surgeon.

Put this together with amazing front desk crew and backroom support and you have appts that are ready for you with little on no wait-time; Filed insurance by folks who can get it done and the payments from health ins carriers and cut down the headaches/heartaches when they don't respond with clear answers to what and where and why.

Dr. Glickel's mannerisms and professionalism make him a great physician. During surgery everything went smooth and as expected. I have seen fellows observe with hands on examination under Dr. Glickel's supervision. I desperately needed a see an excellent physician and I found that person in Dr. Glickel.

My right elbow was in constant pain for over one month and I was diagnosed with "golfer's elbow". I carry a lot of heavy things and apparently my tendon became inflamed. I made an appointment with Dr. Glickel, he examined me, described my condition in easy to understand terms, pointed out the range of motions that aggravated my condition and then sent me to physical therapy. I was able to change the way that I use my right arm on a daily basis, and 2 months later the pain is gone.

everything was completely explained in lay terms and the Doctor was very accessable for questions

I had a mal union of a distal radius fracture. I had an osteotomy of the distal radius with bone graft and plate, with an excellant result. Highly professional from the Physician to the office staff. I would highly reccomend Dr Glickel

I had to see Dr. Glickel with a cyst on a pointer finger. I had previously been to another doctor who had unsuccessfully treated the cyst. Dr. Glickel was quick to diagnose that surgery was required. He thoroughly explained what the surgery would entail as well as the expected recovery. The surgery facility and staff were extremely efficient and kind and the surgery went off without a hitch. I had 2 follow-up appointments with Dr. Glickel where he took the time to answer all my questions.
