Dr Mehalik is one of the best doctors and humans there are. He shares his extensive knowledge and explains the body systems in terms a non medical person can understand. He explains things so well and leaves one with few questions. Not only was the shoulder surgery top notch, but so was the continuing care. We are grateful for Dr Mehalik and his medical assistant Sarah. She is the glue that holds the medical relationship together with the Dr and patient. For 6 months my only contact with the office was through the Messaging feature which Sarah consistently communicated with me and had excellent follow up on questions or issues. Very impressive and unusual in this day and age!
