Dr. Czarnecki, his staff, and everyone at Excel Orthopaedics are amazing! I am grateful that he and everyone there have given me and my knee new life!
He’s a great physician
My son injured his shoulder playing high school football. After an MRI, we worked with Dr. Czarnecki who repaired my son’s torn labrum and rotator cuff. Dr. Czarnecki did a phenomenal job and we are now six months out from the surgery. My son has full range and full recovery. He continues to strengthen and stretch his shoulder by working with a conditioning coach. We are grateful and thankful for Dr. Czarnecki’s skill and great care. He’s a wonderful surgeon and gives great care to making sure the follow up Physical Therapy goes well for true patient success! We would very much recommend him!
