Dr. K is an awesome and caring doctor. I had multiple (knees and ankles) sports injuries from my younger days and reached a point that I couldn't walk without pain. I had my both knee (high tibial osteotomy) surgeries and Dr. K did a great job!
He's always looking for the right solution and tries everything before surgery. Not one of those docs who just want to operate!
Highly knowledgeable, patient focused , skilled surgeon and all around nice guy.
He’s really good about taking time with the patient. Not always the case with bone docs.
Dr. K is the absolute best.
There is
He inspires confidence period.
He helped!
Dr. Klkmkiewicz is a great doctor. Wouldn't see anyone else.
Dr K has kept me going for over 15 years and it wouldn't have been possible without his care and advice. Best knee guy there is.
