Dr. Mehalik is truly the best. I had rotator cuff surgery with him, and although my recovery was slower than I hoped, he and his PA, Michael Young, were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They consistently encouraged me, took the time to answer all my questions, and reassured me that my recovery was progressing just as expected.
Their patience, professionalism, and clear communication made a difficult recovery much more manageable. I always felt heard and cared for, which made a huge difference in my overall experience.
If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate surgeon and a supportive team, I highly recommend Dr. Mehalik and Michael Young.

The reverse shoulder replacement surgery was a fantastic success. I no longer experience any pain and have full use of that arm.
