Dr. Gilsdorf - I have been having painful shoulder issues for a long time. I decided to see Dr. Gilsdorf. Our first visit was pleasant. he determined that I have frozen shoulder syndrome. I was instructed to go to PT for 6 weeks before seeing him again. Upon going to PT for 2 weeks, my pain worsened to the point where I could not use my arm much. The PT suggested I stop for a while and request a MRI. She said she will vouch for me. My second visit with Dr. Gilsdorf was not so pleasant anymore. He "yelled" at me for quitting PT. He did not want to hear what I have to say or explain why the PT suggested I pause the therapy. He did not even examine my shoulder. He just poked at one area and said " does that hurt?" "No?" Then basically said I am not going to do a surgery on you. He abruptly said I will order a MRI for you and dismissed me with a wave of his hand to the door with a cold face . Very unprofessional and uncaring. I know my body and I have very high pain tolerance.

Dr. Gilsdorf operated on my knee and i got 100% results. He educated me on the processes and performed the surgery with no problem. A great friendly surgeon, who is amazing and what he does.

His office dumped me without any explanation. I was supposed to have surgery and one day they just said that he would not treat me any longer. Thankfully I found a much better surgeon elsewhere.

Dr. Gilsdorf has operated on my twice before and I'm due for a third next month. He is a terrific guy and easy to get along with. He likes to laugh (and ya have to like that). The office personal can be less-than-friendly at times, but for the most part they are okay. They have odd (and time consuming) procedures there. It seems to work for them, but for newcomers it can be a bit confusing. Don't be afraid to ask what's going on when things seem odd. If you get a rude staff worker, try again. There are some good ones there.
