Christopher Gitzelmann

Dr. Gitzelmann is an outstanding pediatric surgeon. My 3-year-old son had hernia surgery this morning by Dr. Gitzelmann and is recovering beautifully. He is very friendly, personable, and experienced. I appreciated that he took the time to explain everything to us before and after surgery. The hospital staff also raved about what an excellent doctor/surgeon he is. We made the right decision for our son. Dr. Gitzelmann, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our boy.

My daughter suffered from a severe leg injury while climbing a tree. She was not cared for properly at another facility and developed an infection. Upon bringing her to St Barnabas Medical Center ER, Dr. Gitzelmann and his staff took the absolute BEST care for her. It was his staff who determined that her wound still contained foreign body. They booked an operating room immediately and made sure she was properly taken care of. All she cared about at the time was can she cheer and can she go back to school. Not only did she receive 1st honor roll that marking period but here she is 3 months later killing it on the mat too. I can never thank this amazing team of doctors enough for not only saving my daughters life, but for giving her all of her hopes and dreams back!

Dr. Gitzelmann and his team cared for my son with a hernia and needed surgery. He is a very compassionate surgeon who is thoughtful and kind. We appreciate his surgical talent as he cared for our child.

Dr. Gitzlman is a wonderful doctor! My 3yr old loves him! He is very friendly, and professional. I would recommend him to anybody needed a pediatric surgeon.

In our most stressful hour, Dr. Gitzelmann's kind words and plain-english advice were exactly what our family needed. He is clearly a brilliant man ...
