Dr. Houdek is an exceptional doctor! He does amazing work and takes time to listen to me and answers all my questions. I'm fortunate to be under his care! I would recommend him to anyone.

I searched for a new doctor to do a hip replacement. Christopher seemed to be a good choice. According to his ratings and that he did do knee replacement.
During The Visit.
He informed me that he no longer does joint replacement and had to change me to a different doctor.
