Patient Reviews
“I broke my wrist in November. Initially, it was not believed necessary to operate. Eventually, a bone spur did require surgery, which was performed in May. I am now well on the way to recovery. Dr. Lourie and his staff were outstanding! They demonstrated the utmost in professional care and diagnostics. At all times I felt confident in their skills and ability to communicate. The care and treatment I received from their rehab staff were as good as I could imagine. I have recommended Dr. Lourie to otters and will continue to do so.”

“Our daughter Hannah has been a patient of Dr. Peljovich for almost 16 years. She saw him for the first time shortly after her birth. I remember sitting in the exam room with Hannah in my arms as a newborn, being terrified of what was to come. Dr. Peljovich being a parent, understood my anxiety and was reassuring in everything he explained to us. He completed 3 surgical procedures on her hands and continued to follow her progress and growth for many years. Last summer, Dr. Peljovich told Hannah that she was pretty much done and unless she wanted him to tweak something, she had officially graduated. It was a joyous and sad appointment all at the same time. Our daughter is amazingly functional and happy, and we never regretted our decision to allow Dr. Peljovich treat her. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts as a surgeon and a great man.”

“My son fractured his thumb in July; Dr. Ratner and the entire staff was compassionate, and professional from start to finish! Maria in medical records should be applauded for her commitment and dedication. She quickly responded to my requests for information to get documents I needed for insurance purposes.”

“Dr. Gillespie saw my preschool aged daughter for a finger fracture that had become infected. As a healthcare professional, I appreciated the conservative but aggressive treatment he prescribed which enabled us to avoid surgery. There were several follow ups and at each one, Dr. Gillespie took time to answer all of my questions and speak to my daughter. He was always professional, kind, and very good with both my daughter and her siblings who sometimes had to tag along. We never felt rushed and I feel like we received the best possible care. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Bryce Gillespie without reservation.”

“I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Costas. He knew exactly what was going on with my very painful swollen thumb. He gave me a shot and ordered hand splints for me. Several months later and it’s still doing well. He was friendly and made me feel comfortable.”
