Doc is wonderful as aways. R shoulder pain took me to him as he installed my bionic shoulder. Vert conveniently located X-ray facility adjacent to his office. 10 strides away! Received x-ray of shoulder before seeing doc. Dr Mehalik always takes time to explain what his hands-on exam and x-rays show and what next course of action is and why. Best doc I've ever seen do above. Highly recommend
BTW I'm not a relative!
