      Gajewski is awesome, cares about the patients, really took the time to listen to us, made sure that our fears were real, and told us what we should and shouldn't do. Fantastic doctor, 10 out of 10.

      Dr Gajewski is a hero for patching up our athlete after a terrible fracture on the field. We are all feeling confident that he will soon return to what he loves. (The table in the exam room of our 2 week follow up visit looked filthy)

      Very good doctor, explained to me about my son's spine and advised him to do exercise to avoid wearing back braces.

      Dr. Gajowski is the best doctor, adult or pediatrician, that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is patient, takes time to listen, and truly cares about his patients. We've had multiple surgeries with him, with our youngest daughter, and he is of the utmost professional when we interact with him every single time.

      Dr. Gajewski is so kind and was GREAT with my daughter! I was very nervous about her appointment because of her previous diagnosis of scoliosis, but Dr. Gajewski confirmed after her X-ray that she has no scoliosis. Thank you for being AMAZING, Dr. G!!! I highly recommend Dr. G for your child’s orthopedic care.

      The athletic trainer who put on my daughters cast was wonderful. She worked with her on walking with crutches and got them adjusted perfectly. She answered all Of our questions and spent lots of time talking with us about life with the cast and crutches.

      Dr. Gajewski is one of the best doctors we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He is calm and collected, patient with our young daughter. She's six years old. We've had two surgeries with him now. And he is, again, just very patient, kind, knows what he's doing, knows how to talk to the kids. We would recommend him to anyone.
