She took her time with me, explained everything & answered all of my questions without being in a hurry. She also addressed my knee problem that day & made the treatment plan to where most places the first visit would have only been a consult & I would have had to wait weeks to get back in. I would highly recommend Dr Vasicek.

She took a look at my x-rays and took a few additional ones and explained in detail what needed to be done. All the staff that I came into contact with were all friendly and professional. From check-in, physical therapy to check-out. I appreciate Tina, Dr. Vasiceks clinical assistant, who went above and beyond the call of duty helping get all the updated short term disability paperwork to my employers. Dr. Vasicek took great care of me!

He was the first orthopedic doctor who took my pain seriously. I felt validated and heard. For years I went unheard. Dr Lockstadt has a great bed side manner, as well as Jim his PA is awesome. I would strongly recommend him.He was the first orthopedic doctor who took my pain seriously. I felt validated and heard. For years I went unheard.

Dr Favetto was very considerate during my visit. He wanted to try to every option before surgery. Which is a relief.

Dr. Favetto was quick yet thorough in explaining the fracture in my hand. I appreciated the explanation of the healing process since this is the first break I've ever had.
