- “My experience with Dr. Lourie has been great! Even though he's swamped, he always takes the time to see how I'm doing. I like the fact that he wants to go the conservative route with my condition instead of insisting on surgery. We may eventually get to that point, but the treatment we are using is working great for now!”– Lauren S.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:

- “My experience with Dr. Bryce Gillespie can only be described as excellent. I was referred to Dr. Gillespie to treat a Dupuytren’s contracture in my right hand. In a very unhurried fashion, Dr. Gillespie reviewed my treatment options. He offered an injection of Xiaflex that would help relieve the contraction. I asked for time to review my options. He also indicated that if I were to use Xiaflex his office would check on my insurance coverage. I selected the recommended treatment option. Dr. Gillespie explained the procedure to my complete satisfaction. Once my hand was numb and the Xiaflex injected, Dr. Gillespie was able to return my finger with the contracted tendon to normal use. I would highly recommend Dr. Gillespie.”– JayTreating Doctor:
- “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.”– StephanieTreating Doctor:

Today my son has a normal life, he plays sports, swimming, plays basketball, he is a boy full of life. It was a blessing to have Dr. Peljovich.”– RojasTreating Doctor:
- “Cheerful, speedily provided thorough expert care which made it a pleasure to keep appointments. My broken wrist is all cured, thanks to perfect care, ordered therapy, and follow-up. Dr. Lourie's own handwritten notes sent afterwards were cherry on top of it all. Warm regards to all of you.”– Dorothy B.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:
- “It really was an honor to have Dr. Lourie in our family, he really changed my daughter's life. When my daughter was born she missed a bone (the radial) and had four fingers in each hand; and we fly from Guatemala to Atlanta with a baby of 40 days old, to see Dr. Lourie and he gave us such a trust that we decided to stay with him for 16 years through which my child had 13 surgeries but now she is able to do everything by herself, and all these years were great, they made her feel super special all the time, so much so that now that she leaves high school she wants to study in ATL. Thanks so much, Gary M, Lourie M.D. ”– Christa A.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:
