Everything went exactly the way he told it would. Complete knee replacement and playing golf 8 weeks later.
Sep-2024
I feel like it was a waste of my time going there because nothing wasn't done to benefit my physical health
Sep-2024
Sat in room waiting. 1hour 20 minutes later he comes in. No apology for my wasted time.
Sep-2024
I felt he was rushed when he was with me. And it was 1 hour 30 minutes past my appointment. He did give me injections and I had had them from somewhere else before and never hurt afterwards like this.
Sep-2024
Love him as a doctor, he is personable, attentive, knowledgeable but he has so many patients you always have a long wait to be seen. Today I had a 9:30 appointment and didn't get called back till 10:45. That is out of his control yet Othor East aught to address it.

Jul-2024
My pet tripped me & I had bruising on my left hip & stabbing pain there. No fracture on xray. Gave me steroid dosepak & said take anti-inflammatori3s. No relief after 2 days. Still have severe pain. Plus, I fractured my lower left ribs around 8 weeks ago & I was worried that I had re-injured them. This issue wasn't even addressed. I'm a,retired FNP & I don’t seek pain meds unless I'm really in pain. Plan to see my family doctor Monday. Dr. Skalak seemed like a nice man & I didn't want to give him a poor rating, but I feel as if I wasted my time & money with that appointment!
Jul-2024
The level empathy and concern for my pain was felt immediately and any recommendations and or treatment plans proscribed, would’ve been followed eagerly.

Service is. Great

One of the best and most professional Doctors I have EVER SEEN! Knows his $&@! and helps you get back to your regular life fast! Owen Davis and Dr. Skalak are modern day Batman and Robins, Starski and Hutches, Crocket and Tubs, Superman and Superwoman ect. I can go on and on, thanks to the staff also for being so kind and friendly during a low point in my life. Thanks to the team, I’m back after a short 13 week post op surgery! Yaaaahooooo!

Jun-2024
Capable, communicative, empathetic, present. All good qualities
Jun-2024
He is very nice and competent.
Jun-2024
The only question he asked me was my history with what was going on. He talked about what he thought would help, gave me a paper for bloodwork, and left. He did not explain any x-rays that I had just gotten. He did not ask me more specific questions about my history with what I am dealing with. I had more questions before he left. I had to ask the staff who came in after he left to speak to him again. I had to ask about work accommodations and if there was anyway he could fill out a form for me so I can sit down at work. I understand if they are unable to fill out this paperwork, that is okay. But he stared at me like I was stupid and said that he had no idea what I was talking about and that they didn’t do things like that there. I understand that it is busy and there are many patients to get through, but I paid to get seen and checked out and talked to about my pain, but he didn’t even examine me, talk about my x-ray (until he came back), or even ask more than 1 question.
Jun-2024
Visits are quick, easy and to the point. Satisfied with outcome of my surgery. Thanks Doc
Jun-2024

Succinctness, reviewed my MRI cervical spine films , discussed options related to treatment plan , very cordial, brief lobby visit time & listened to what I had to say as his patient .

Jun-2024
No one told me you didn't accept my insurance. No letter, no phone call. Not a word when scheduling appointments. Drove all the way there from Washington to finally be told you don't accept my insurance. Its unprofessional and just plane rude. Not to mention the receptionist was rude too. Thanks for wasting my time. But maybe the next doctor will be able to actually help me.

I was very anxious about going even though I’ve had pain in my knee for several months. Dr. Skalak was very personable and ease and worries. Best part, I didn’t realize he was doing the injection till it was over. Can’t imagine an injection in my knee going any easier.

Feb-2024
Great
Mar-2024
Appointment was at 2:30....was seen by doctor after 4:30. Took x-rays of shoulder but never discussed them, he seemed rushed and in a hurry because it was the end of the day. Didn't do any real test to see what the problem was, no real interest in finding out my injury history, I was not impressed. He spoke with me less than 10 minutes. He might have seen 100 patients that day with a shoulder injury, but it was my first. No bed side compassion, not impressed. He might be knowledgeable but I will be moving on.
Feb-2024
Very attentive, explained where my hip pain was originating from and best course of action .
Feb-2024
Very to the point and explains why he does things in the manner that he does them

Feb-2024
Highly skill down to earth surgeon who takes time to answer all the questions I had
Feb-2024
I visited Dr. Skalak about and he was supposed to order me cream and that was never received by me. Plus, the examination was rushed. My husband Ronell Rodgers visited this doctor and my best friend Effie Thompson, we all had the same opinion of our office visit with Dr. Skalak.
Feb-2024
After a long wait, I still would rate him a 5. He knows his job and he does it well. Doctor/patient interaction is excellent. I don’t feel rushed when it’s my turn.
Feb-2024
Because he listened to my concerns and we have a plan how to proceed forward.
Feb-2024
I really like my doctor and his colleagues. They all are very courteous and show concerns about you as a patient and respect you as a person.

Very personable and understanding of my rotator cuff issues. Gave me a cortisone shot and I never felt it! Nice job
Feb-2024
All great but 1 1/2 hour wait to get 2 quick knee cortisone injections too long.
Feb-2024
I Waited over 2 hours for my appointment when he did come into the room he never apologized for the 2 hr wait nor did he introduce himself and I felt I was rushed out once he did come in and that I didn’t have a chance to address my concerns

Great with my concerns, listens, explains what he sees, and gives a plan in the future to ensure my issues.
Feb-2024
He mentioned prescribing lyrica or gabepentin but when I checked with
my pharmacy CVS at 6:10 , they had no record of it being called in . So either he changed his thought for treatment, or he will await the Cervical spine MRI results to prescribe it or he forgot it . So I will see what happens over next 24 hours . My pain & activity level is manageable with the baclofen I was prescribed from Physician East Urgent care . He was informative .
Feb-2024
ALWAYS CLOSE TO PERFECT

Jan-2024
Dr. Skalak is the best I am so glad I found him ..I drive from out of town to see him it’s definitely worth the drive. he did arthroscopic surgery on my knee, he took out torn meniscus, arthritis, and a gangling cyst that had formed behind all that and it was between the bones pushing on everything….
today marks three weeks since my surgery and other than working out the stiffness And doing PT my knee feels way better…I’m back to work part time and doing some yardwork too!!
I have seen a doctor in my town for four years with no progress or had good results I have been a patient of Dr. Skalak for about six months now and He solved my problem and I’m feeling 90% better right now I would recommend him to anyone having knee and hip pain. He knows what he’s stuff plus he made me feel comfortable and safe with him in charge …I love him and his staff they are the best!!
Jan-2024

Dec-2023
I am retired and recently found out that I needed my right hip replaced. Several of my friends had hips replaced and suggested that I see if minimally invasive(anterior) hip replacement was an option for me.
After speaking with my primary care physician I found out that Dr. Skalak at Orthopedics East in Greenville performed the procedure and that I could have the procedure done at ECU Health(Vidant). I was relieved that I didn’t need to travel and stay overnight at a hospital in Raleigh/Durham. Orthopedics’ East had also very successfully replaced both of my knees at Vidant.
I had a great experience with Dr, Skalak and his team. My surgery and recovery over the past two months have gone very well. It’s wonderful to be able to sleep, walk and do my daily activities again without pain. I recently found out that Dr, Skalak has done over a thousand of the minimally invasive surgeries and if my left hip needs replacing he will be performing the surgery.
Dec-2023
Mr. Skalak was very professional. He took the time to explain my procedure, and then performed the medical procedure. Plus, I did not have to wait for a long period of time. Their staff was professional as well.
Dec-2023
Dr.Skalak is always up front with you and he genuinely cares about your well-being. But most of all he's a good listener.

I like Dr Skalak but he really hurt my foot this time and he did not the 1st time. I jerked my foot away and I think that's why it hurt me. But I know he can do it w/o hurting. Maybe next time I can behave. Sorry Dr.Skalak.

Jul-2023
Friendly! Helpful explanations! Thorough and quick service. Very knowledgeable!
Jul-2023
Dr. Skalak seems very knowledgeable and on the same page with me…..letting surgery be the last decision. My 1st time consultation with him about having replacement knee surgery didn’t quite meet Mt expectations because I have been through the 1st and 2nd injections.
Didn’t do the 3rd because I saw no results.
I wasn’t convinced that injections do not cause bone deterioration. He didn’t explain enough about my waiting time could cause until I have surgery.
We agree that I research on the jell injections and can discuss it with him if that’s what I want to try first. I personally felt that I caught him in a “rush time” to catch up with his patients.
I don’t know how to rate him because I still at about the same ??? about me having or needing a knee replacement now or what are the odds of having it done later.
Jul-2023
Good doctor

Awesome medical skills with an appreciative dose of compassion and patience. Very positive experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND without reservation to anyone I know.

Very compassionate. Dr. Skalak is connected to his patients. It is a very great attribute when he knows the behavior and ways of the patient before he enters the room. He is an overall great individual that shows care about his profession and the health of the human body. Knowing all of that about him elevates the quality of healthcare in sports medicine. He is one of the few reasons why I am still able to perform one of the most physical, demanding job there is with my condition. He does not let me adapt to my condition, but let my condition adapt to me. Great doctor!

My only complaint is a 10:30 appointment and not being seen till after 12. Office was full when I walked in everyone that came in after me was called before me. I was the last one sitting in waiting room waiting to be called. Maybe shouldn’t schedule so many back to back appointments

I saw him for two appointments both times I had to wait over an hour and when I finally went back he was in the room less than 2 minutes I felt very rushed and had no time to ask questions and the treatment plan he had given me I feel to be pointless and not understanding how it will help with the constant and intense pain I am in.

Dr Skalak is a great dr, but today I got a cortisone shot in my wrist and my wrist has hurt as bad tonight as when I fractured it. This is like the 4th injection that I have had and it has never been like this. I had to take some Tylenol and that didn’t help. I finally had to take some stronger pain medicine to get some rest for work tomorrow. My name is Gwen Wade in case someone wants to call me tomorrow.
Sep-2022
I think that he is a very caring and professional doctor I think he really cares about his patience and I am proud that he is my doctor and pleased
Sep-2022
My experience was not good. Felt like just another number in the long assembly line of patients. Time management is horrible. Would not let tech take stitches until he came in room. He was running over an hour late. Never saw him after the surgery. Always feels like he is rushing.
Aug-2022
Excellent experience!
Aug-2022
Very caring and professional staff a very pleasant visit

11:05 ! That’s a long time
Aug-2022
He’s the man!! Very patient and a great bedside manner!!!
Aug-2022
Dr. Skalak was very friendly and took ample time to diagnose and explain my injury and recovery time
Aug-2022
Every single appointment I’ve had with Dr. Skalak, I had to wait at least one and a half to two hours to see him. When Dr. Skalak comes into the exam room to see me, he is only there for about two minutes. He is a great doctor and surgeon but he does not take his patients time into consideration.
Aug-2022
Everyone is always so pleasant and professional, from check in to check out and everything in between.
Aug-2022
Quick and to the point. I could tell he was extra busy but he made sure I knew what the issue with my knees was and how he was going to tackle it going forward. Solution oriented doctor. Thanks a bunch!
Aug-2022
My only comment is the lack of quality time I received as a patient. So far I’m happy with the outcome of my surgery but I wish that I knew more about what to expect post surgery. The high level of swelling in my hip and thigh was not anticipated but I think I’m getting control of it by continuing PT and icing it down afterward.
Aug-2022
Dr. Skalak provided great feedback with an honest and professional opinion, with a treatment plan and follow up, that was in line with my diagnosis.
Dr. Skalak provided an alternative to surgery, which I choose to explore, before an invasive procedure with an extensive recovery.
Aug-2022
Very personal, knowledgeable, caring. And Timely.

I am a new patient, and this was my first appt. I felt rushed through my appointment. Every time I went to speak or ask a question I was cut off and talked over. There was imaging done before my appt, however Dr Skalak never even looked at my injury on my body and didnt even remove the brace to take a look. Upon me telling him I was now having new pain in the same area, instead of taking a look he said that due to swelling and bruising which again, he didnt even take a look at. I told me he was going to send in medications which he did not.
Sep-2021

Mar-2021
Great doctor - was thorough and very generous with his time. Explained issue and answered questions
Mar-2021
I sustained an injury towards the end of last year. Unfortunately my injury has not yet begun to heal. I'll say it like this; I'm sure Dr. Skalak assumed my injury was like one of many patients he's had and thought his process was going to fix it. However, I am 6 months in with no real answer, conclusion, diagnosis or time frame, no set treatment plan and from my most recent appointment I'm still left with no answer. So, I believe that his methods are fast paced and the only thing I would recommend is if at all possible to spend a few extra minutes with patients listening to what they are experiencing, observing more than just xrays. Sometimes simply looking at something could get you on the right track.
Mar-2021
He is an excellent doctor from what I see and he did my knee surgery back in December of 2019

Jul-2020
Very professional and informative
Jun-2020
I do not feel he spent enough time with us. He didn’t explain the xrays- why did we have them, what was he looking for. Barely spent any time on a physical and we really have no idea what is going on or what to do about it. That said we are pending an MRI so hopefully he will have more answers soon. I understand that he probably knows what’s going on before coming into the room but when there is little explanation and discussion in the room it does not leave a great impression I also feel with minors it’s extremely important to talk to them and have them do the talking; however I feel the parent should be asked if they have anything to add. My child is very quiet and will say the minimum- I have input but I got the feeling it wasn’t welcomed.
Jun-2020
Excellent in care
Jun-2020
I certainly hope he can help me
Jun-2020
The entire visit was great. I particularly appreciated the thoughtfully organized COVID19 protocol. One observation on that-there was a bottleneck at the front door for people trying to exit and people being screened coming in.

Jun-2020
I waited for 1 1/2 hours past my appt time. When seen, was told they didn't have the MRIs even though I had already been told they DID have them. He said he wouldn't do the surgery & referred me to someone else. I thought he was cocky & sarcastic. Wouldn't want him doing the surgery anyway.

He was very attenrive. He seemed very knowledgeable. Even though he didn't tell me how much it was going to hurt he did it quickly. It still hurt really bad . I wasn't expecting it to hurt that bad. 30 seconds seems like a long time when you are in that much pain. I just wish it could have been a lot less pain involved. If I ever have to have it done again I would still go to him but would ask that it be done a lot less painfull.
Feb-2020
He allows me to explain my reason for the visit and he listens. He is very responsive and caring.

Very busy office
First time meeting Dr. Skalak. He informed me and discussed with me what I need to do. The shots that were given, help a lot. Thank you for your service.
Always have been a great doctor and very accurate in what is going on with me.
Really informative. Received a treatment that within just a few short days greatly reduced my symptoms. Love their conservative approach.
Always listens.
So helpful and caring
Everything went exactly the way he told it would. Complete knee replacement and playing golf 8 weeks later.
I feel like it was a waste of my time going there because nothing wasn't done to benefit my physical health
Sat in room waiting. 1hour 20 minutes later he comes in. No apology for my wasted time.
I felt he was rushed when he was with me. And it was 1 hour 30 minutes past my appointment. He did give me injections and I had had them from somewhere else before and never hurt afterwards like this.
