Patient Reviews
“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 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.”
