Patient Reviews
Aug 04, 2022
Dr. Gettelfinger has been working diligently to provide relief from a neuroma I recently (2-3 years ago) developed from an amputation I received back in 1994. He knows what he's talking about, is a great listener, has a good bedside manner, and is very professional. I'd recommend him to anyone!
