I would highly recommend Dr. Mehalik. He is very knowledgeable as it related to my fractured humerus. He presented my options and allowed me to make a decision. I was approved for a bone stimulator, through Medicare, and was prescribed a multi vitamin to help with my bone growth. Good news as of today, my shoulder is totally healed. You will not be disappointed!!!!

Initial intake by Gabby was appropriate and professional. Dr Mehalik reviwed my x-rays, listened while I related my history, examined me and formed a management plan with initial PT with further steps planned if progress not achieved. He encouraged questions and to call for further appointments as needed. There is no better doctor for any orthopedic issues.
