Dr. Gellman: my leg thanks you immensely. When you are broken, you want someone solid to help you out. What can I say - this man did the job.

In 2015 (it’s 2020 now) I jumped off a pdx overpass into heavy, flowing traffic. I’ve never been a solid decision maker, from the time I was a kid.

A number of doctors treated me, these reviews relate to those who worked on my feet/ ankles.

Dr Gellman at Summit Orthopedics (N Pdx) fixed my broken feet first. Gellman is an decent guy - a little intimidating, not so personable, and very good - he worked hard to repair the damage I caused but finally referred me to his Summit Orthopedic partner, Dr Beaman. Before seeing Beaman though I instead went to see Dr.Galle at Westside Foot and Ankle in Tigard.

Dr. Galle and his office I would recommend to no one. The surgery he performed on my left foot was useless. He removed a little bone from my little toe in an attempt to fix a big problem. And he made it seem like it was my only hope. When he recommended amputating my toe, I stopped listening and met w Dr Beaman.

I liked Beaman immediately. He’s funny, in a comforting way, and you get the sense he’s really good at what he does. When he said, “I think I can fix this,” I believed him.

My most recent foot surgery was performed by Beaman and the work was artistry. If you break anything that he can fix, see him. Even if you have to travel a few hours. This guy is that good. I now walk with no pain.

Finally, I can’t say enough about Dr Gellman’s and Beaman’s medical assistant/ office manager, Ala. She manages the office efficiently and knows exactly what’s going on.

Dr. Galle‘s office staff is just like Galle. One of them even left me an aggressive voicemail when I was late paying a bill. I owed $75, $50 of which was for items he insisted I purchase even though the hospital provided them for free : (

Go see Gellman or Beaman certainly. Galle, I’d avoid.

Horrible! I was referred to him for ankle surgery, but no way was I going to let him operate. His resident came in first (and no one said anything to me about a resident seeing me when I made the appointment), looked at the X-rays and told me what kind of surgery I needed. Gellman came in and spent less than 10 minutes with me. He didn't exam me, didn't ask me about my health history, surgical history, or the medications I take. He seemed bothered by my questions about surgery and barely gave any answers. He acts like he just doesn't give a damn.
