I had an appointment to see him but he was not there. I was told he was “running late “. I was given the opportunity to wait for him but no indication of when he might arrive.
Thank you for having a supportive, caring, and attentive staff. The office is also beautiful, and Dr. Prohaska is very knowledgeable and I trust him with my care.
Personable and knowledgable
Polite curiosity caring patient takes time to explain the what and why what needs to be done and includes you in the care plan
Very kind and forthright.
He was thorough and I really liked that he is conservative in his approach. I am well aware that Orthopedist make the most money by doing surgeries so having him be conservative in his approach is refreshing.
Excellent Physician. I had a shoulder arthroplasty and he did an excellent job.
Dr Prohaska is a very pleasant fellow. He has a good Dr/patient attitude. He talked to me about how to avoid further shoulder damage and what I could expect if I did have further damage.
Great surgery experience, not so great post surgery. Very little info on rehabilitation & recovery, basically feel like I should just figure it out on my own. P.A.’s need to be armed with more assistance to patients.
Daniel is a great Dr. and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
