Great Dr! I had to the best experience during my visit with him. very respectful Dr. I have been to 2 others (Mark Katz) steer clear of that useless rude Dr.) and was not told 95% of the information that Dr Stanislaw was able to educate me on for my condition. He was so thorough and helpful and done everything he could to make sure I understood the issue and options that we had to correct it. Wonderful Dr. If you are looking for a very educated and well read exam, he is the one to see! Thank you for really getting to the root of my problems.!

His bedside manner was atrocious. He had no cares or concerns for his patients. I will never go back to him or allow my family to see this man. He is definitely the type that just because he has some letters behind his name he feels he can talk and treat people any type of way. Not the type of person you want to be in the care of

His passion for orthopedic surgery led to an internship and orthopedic surgical residency at the University Hospitals of Cleveland Metrohealth Trauma Center and Wade Park VA at Case Western Reserve University.
He served as Chief of Surgery at Caldwell Memorial Hospital and is a founding member of Carolina Orthopaedic Specialists, which is now EmergeOrtho.
He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, board certified and twice recertified in Orthopedic Surgery.

Dr. Stanislaw says, “My goal is to offer the very finest and technologically advanced surgical care, as well as attention to the smallest detail. I offer a clear explanation and a concise plan to fit the needs of my patients.”
“I am blessed by God to have a beautiful family of my children Gwyneth, Phoebe, Lilly, and Griffin. They are number one in my heart and understood from a very tender age that they are loved and that their Dad always wants to be with them whether it is school lunch time, a movie, soccer, dance, karaoke, swimming, cheerleading, skiing, boating, wrestling, a phone call, or just goofing around. I enjoy helping my children navigate life and enjoy being a support to them as they pursue their dreams. My children have seen their Dad working out in the gym and boxing, driving a race car, skiing down a mountain, playing the drums in a band, and going to church. Life is a balance, and I always remind them to be courageous and kind and enjoy the journey.”
