The reviews listed below were collected independently of Fox Valley Orthopedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Sostak and his entire team of nurses, technicians, and receptionists were absolutely amazing. They were professional, compassionate, and made me feel incredibly well cared for throughout my experience.
I would also like to recognize Blake, CRNA, who was exceptional. His kindness, professionalism, and expertise truly stood out.
I am incredibly grateful for each of them and for the care they provided to me. I am equally grateful for the care and dedication they demonstrate every day to all of their patients. It is clear that they genuinely care about the people they serve, and I feel very fortunate to have been in their care.

Dr. Sostak personalizes treatment to meet the needs and goals of each individual. He takes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care including non-surgical treatments such as focused physical therapy, anti-inflammatory treatments including injections and orthopedic biological therapies such as PRP (platelet rich plasma). When non-surgical treatment won’t solve the issue, he is well trained in orthopedic surgical options.
