First visit with Dr. Mehalik. I was first taken to the x-ray department and then the dr reviewed the findings in detail. He gave me 2 choices on how to proceed. He was thorough, listened to my questions and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend Dr Mehalik.

Extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient oriented. A very caring Doctor - The Best and his PA Michael Young is excellent too. Dr Mehalik did an excellent shoulder replacement on my arthritic, worn out primary shoulder and fixed its poorly healed previously broken 84 year old arm at the same time. WOW!!
