    Dr. Gelman was referred to me through a Facebook support group because of his extensive knowledge…read moreand experience in the specialized urology area I needed help with. After an unsuccessful and somewhat experimental treatment attempt from a local urologist, I sought additional opinions. To his credit, Dr. Gelman personally called me on a Sunday morning to discuss my initial consultation, which initially gave me confidence in his level of care and expertise. Although he did not personally perform the procedure, one of his fellows/interns did, and medically the procedure was successful. Four years later, praise God, I am still doing well and grateful for the clinical outcome. However, the patient experience surrounding the surgery and recovery process was disappointing and, at times, frustrating. Communication from the office was inconsistent, and getting answers regarding post-operative concerns and wound care was unnecessarily difficult. Calls and questions often felt delayed or overlooked, which adds significant stress when recovering from a serious procedure. I also found Dr. Gelman to be very aloof and detached during much of the process after the initial consultation. While technical skill is extremely important, patient care also requires communication, reassurance, and engagement -- especially during vulnerable moments surrounding surgery and recovery. Even members of the care team appeared aware of the communication gap. My discharge experience at UC Irvine was also not handled well. I was discharged with only my wife present, who herself suffers from mild cognitive impairment, and the process lacked the level of support, clarity, and coordination I expected from a major medical institution. Overall, I believe Dr. Gelman and his team are highly skilled from a technical and surgical standpoint, and I am thankful for the long-term outcome. However, the post-operative communication, bedside manner, and patient support experience left much to be desired.

    Extremely rude and condescending attitude. And the woman who answers his phone is even more rude…read more Would never let this guy touch me.
