Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Gluck, is an excellent doctor. He's done 2 surgeries on my hands to remove arthritis and carpal tunnel. They are now pain free.

The wait in line just to check in was 15 minutes, so it was apparent the place was extremely busy. Even with a tremendous volume of patients, all staff members were calm and courteous, no one appeared to be rattled, and they just kept things moving as quickly as they could. Once I checked in, the wait in the lobby was reasonable. Treatment was as I have come to expect with this practice; thorough, willing to take time to answer questions. Never felt rushed, even as busy as they obviously were. Highly recommend.

Personable and professional.
Dr. Gluck thoroughly explained the procedure and range of possible outcomes so that I was comfortable going into the procedure and fully understood the potential long term results.

Dr Gluck
My introduction to Dr Gluck, was him complaining about the VA paperwork and how he didn’t have time to review it as he has patients with fractures he would rather be attending. He further went on to say how he was going to limit va pts. During the visit he was agitated and aggressive in his behavior to the point I actually apologized for the va paperwork. His behavior triggered both my anxiety and ptsd. I left almost in tears. I spoke to his nurse practitioner regarding the incident. I was lead to believe by her that this behavior was not abnormal by him. I have notified the va regarding this incident.

Love his back staff! Front staff turned out to be nice and did smile and chuckle with me eventually. Seems like all of them could smile a little more though. Would make them appear more friendly. They got the job done!

Hat trick
20 years ago Dr Gluck worked on my L hand after I'd damaged a nerve and tendon. Naturally, after that success, when I'd completely severed one rotator cuff tendon, and injured a couple more, two years ago- he was the first person I thought to treat it, and perform the surgery, with very good success.A year ago in April, I was in a very serious rollover MVA, and had a near mirror image injury to my L shoulder, so there was no question about where I was going.You can't go wrong choosing him.

Appointment dissapointment
I did not care for Mr. Gluck. When I asked if my shoulder would get better with PT? He responded in an angry tone, 'Do you think the economy will get better?' I will not go back or recommend!
