    Dr. Gelman took time to explain and give my son a plan that makes sense. He was so wonderful and…read morekind. Thank God for Dr. Gelman.​

    We traveled over 12 hours round trip to see Dr. Joel Gelman because we were told he was one of only…read moretwo urologists on the West Coast who specialized in my husband's condition. His dermatologist recommended Dr Gelman and another specialist in Utah. We chose California first because it was closer. Unfortunately, our experience was INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING! My husband was experiencing severe scrotal lymphedema that continued to worsen despite seeing multiple doctors before we met with Dr Gelman. During our appointment with Dr Gelman, we spent approximately 45 minutes being told that his weight was the problem. Grabbing his belly, calling him fat. COMPLETING HUMILIATING. Told him he needs to get gastric bypass, then maybe we could talk about surgery. What made this even more frustrating was that Dr Gleman has published research and treated patients with much larger cases of scrotal lymphedema, including the patient featured on TLC with a 132 pound scrotum!! My husband was nowhere near that size, yet we were told his weight was the issue and no effort was made to determine the underlying cause of his lymphedema. As we later learned, obesity was NOT the cause of his condition. We later learned that the underlying problem was severe lymphatic dysfunction. His lymphatic system was not properly draining the fluid from the area, which caused the progressive buildup of fluid, inflammation, and tissue. His condition was much more complex than simply being overweight like Dr Gelman blamed the cause on. A little while after his appointment with Dr Gelman, he developed cellulitis that progressed to sepsis where his kidneys began to shut down. We had just switched insurance plans and happened to be in a 15 day coverage gap leaving us with approximately $50,000 in medical bills. He had never spent a single night in a hospital before. Imagine this never would've happened if Dr Gelman actually wanted to help look for a solution instead of being fatphobic. We saw the second specialist at University of Utah who IMMEDIATELY said, "We need to fix this." He immediately recognized the severity of the condition, fought through the insurance hurdles with us, and performed surgery. Looking back, it's heartbreaking to think about how much suffering, time, and money might have been prevented if we had received a more thorough evaluation and a willingness to investigate the cause instead of attributing everything to weight. I would never recommend Dr Joel Gelman.
