He is so easy to talk to such a kind caring doctor.
Excellent I've seen him over the years and he is very caring, warm, and really concerned about your welfare. I have total trust in his advice and treatment plans.
Staff is friendly and Dr Houdek is great!!!! Would recommend family and friends …
Dr. Houdek has been very upfront about the expectations for my shoulder surgery. The surgery and first six weeks of recovery have progressed well. Dr. Houdek and his staff have been very accommodating and supportive. I would highly recommend them.
Dr. Houdek is very thorough when explaining treatment options. He is always friendly and easy to talk to. He doesn't rush when he comes in to see me, and he listens to me and answers all of my questions in layman's terms so that I can understand.
Dr. Houdek always takes his time, listens to my symptoms and has good discussion about options. I have seen him for a broken leg and shoulder issues. He’s truly awesome and so his staff.
I enjoyed having Dr Houdek helping ,thank you dr
