Howard Jay Gelb, M.D. is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist and ankle.
At Gelb Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center, we provide a wide range of highly specialized services to properly evaluate and treat sports related and chronic conditions affecting the knee, hip, elbow, hand, wrist, foot and ankle. Sports injuries are often caused by trauma suffered during competition and repetitive or overuse wear and tear.
Just like other joints, like the knee or the elbow, the hip can suffer injury from trauma, overuse, lack of conditioning or a simple mishap. Hip pain is your first sign that something has gone wrong, but the source of that pain can vary. The hip contains the body's largest ball-and-socket joint, which means that this joint can bear an extraordinary amount of weight and pressure.
Using traditional surgical methods, cutting blocks or guides are placed on the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia) to help direct a surgical saw in removing the diseased bone and cartilage. This method has been considered technically challenging, as accurately placing these blocks can be difficult.

Everyone at the office from the receptionist to consultation were professional. The office was very cautious due to Covid-19. Courtney was very pleasant and explained the results of my X-rays thoroughly and discussed my possible diagnosis. I was in and out of the office in less than 45 minutes. Thank you!

Dr. Gelb is an all around surgical genius. I've had four rotator cuff tear repair surgeries and one subclavian muscle tear repair and the four of them were on the right shoulder from 2014 to may 2021. Their physical therapists literally got my shoulders moving, strengthening them and improving my muscles. Jay and his team of physical therapists are exceptional. Linda Fernandez

Had to write a review even though I usually never do, nightmare doctor . I have never seen such a condescending and dismissive, rude doctor . The post op care is the worst I ever seen . I could even overlook the fact that they overbook and your average wait is 2 hours but he spends minutes with you unless he is getting the patient to use him as a surgeon . All I can say is run ! Horrible experience they should make doctors take courses on decent bedside manners . My daughter is I in the medical field and was extremely disturbed by his follow up and care .

Arrived at 3:30 for an appointment at 3:45. At 4:30 we were still waiting to be called. This was after I was told that "I was next" 30 minutes earlier. It seems that they are eager to be kind and helpful when you are a new patient, but as soon as you are paid in full they no longer need to impress. I finally left after they pretty much told me that I would be called in about 15 minutes but that I should count on sitting in back for at least another 15 before being seen. Will not be returning.

There are two things that I completely despise. Those are taxes and going to a Dr's office. Dr. Gelb's facility is the exception. I suffered a wicked ankle sprain last year while exercising. I made the stupid mistake of going to an MD now immediately as opposed to visiting an orthopedic. After being in severe pain for over a week I knew that I would have to visit an orthopedic. Dr. Gelb's office came highly recommended to me from a few friends. I finally set up an appointment and made it in fairly quickly.
The gal that checked me in made it quick and painless. There wasn't

A doctor/friend in my community recommended Dr. Gelb. His wife had a knee replacement and he felt Dr Gelb was the best surgeon. I am new to Florida so I relied on his opinion. I was very happy with Dr. Gelb and will continue recommending him. He cares about his patients and gives you possible alternatives to try before doing surgery. I was bone on bone and needed a replacement. We hoped it would be a partial but he also had a total ready to go in case my knee looked worse once he got inside. Dr. Gelb is a very skilled and talented surgeon. My surgery went well. I am 15 weeks post surgery. I am
