Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Grandma needs a hip replacement :)
We had a 11:15am appointment and we were called at 11:10 and saw Dr. Zachwieja right away. My mom is it a lot of pain,so it was nice that she didn't have to wait long. Dr. Zachwieja need it a new xray of her hips and it was done on a spot( which is so convenient). Every one was very friendly and I will definitely recommend them.

Excellent,experienced orthopedic surgeon
He explained details of my osteoarthritic condition , answering all my questions patiently and was very thorough and caring .I had fractured my right femur and he treated that first giving it enough time to heal before doing a total knee replacement later with the latest advanced Robotic-arm Assisted technique to speed recovery and enhance function. He saw me before and after the operation to make sure I understand what to expect before and after surgery.

He Saved My Life!
After a great big hug and a big fat smile on my face to finally be where I should be was absolutely amazing! Dr Z. you never gave up on me and for that - as long as I live, breathe and walk with my good knee - I will remember you always and forever. Again, thank you and see you in 6 months when I run, jump and skip into your office.
