The care, the medical expertise and the patient experience here are excellent. I have complete trust in Dr. Kovack. He replaced both of my shoulders with outstanding results. He inspires confidence. I trust him implicitly. I also trust his recommendations for physical therapy - my results were terrific. Dr. Kovak and his staff also - magically - run on schedule! The practice's staff is unfailingly helpful and warm - they listen attentively and do everything they can to accommodate what is needed. I recommend this practice to everyone with orthopedic issues.

Report
The office staff, from front desk personal, X-Ray, nursing and Dr Kovack were very friendly and professional. I didn't have to wait at all. I had a clear concise diagnosis with a surgical plan all in one visit. Dr Kovack explained what I needed to fix my long standing history of shoulder pain. I am confident I made the right choice and I am looking forward to having my shoulder finally fixed.
