- “Dr. Gillespie was very thorough and explained everything to us! He was great to deal with!”– Alexandra B.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Peljovich greatly improved our son’s quality of life through bicep lengthening surgery. Our son has CP and talks using a computer. Prior to surgery, he was getting tight, decreasing his ability to talk. After surgery, our son is back to his talkative self! In addition, our son usually gets complications after surgeries—there were no complications with Dr. Pelvovich. Dr. Peljovich not only did an excellent job, but his bedside manner is unparalleled. He treated our son with respect and kindness. We would definitely recommend him to any person with CP who is losing function due to spasticity. ”– Steve D.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:
