Upon my initial appointment with Dr. Hulstyn for a review of my MRI results, I was greeted in a friendly and professional manner. He took the time to explain everything to me and listened attentively while I asked several questions. I didn't feel rushed or pushed into any treatment. Once I decided on the surgery, the entire surgical team from walking in to walking out, treated me kindly and caring. My identity and surgical spot was confirmed by every staff member I dealt with. The surgery went well, and I was provided all the instructions for care before I left. As the last patient of the day, I did feel a bit rushed out of the recovery room.

Doc Hulstyn always takes the time to make sure you understand, makes time for you to ask questions, and for athletes and/or people going on multiple surgeries, I can attest that he’ll give feedback, explore options about recovery, timeline and more.

I had shoulder surgery in April it is now August I am in much pain and discomfort I was told it was frozen shoulder either take more prednisone or shots which I don’t want that it just covers up or doesn’t help, I was told after just stretch it out … not happy my pain doesn’t go away .. and another MRI might have helped considering doctors can’t see inside

Dr. Michael J. Hulstyn specializes in shoulder and knee disorders. He is Board-Certified and Fellowship-Trained in Orthopedic Sports Medicine.
Dr Hulstyn was wonderful from start to finish of my rotator and labrum surgery. I had my last visit today I have full range of motion and gaining strength back in my arm. I am pain free and thankful for University Orthopedics surgery team and entire staff including physical therapy department who helped me with this full recovery.
Always considerate & professional. Have had several procedures and all with great results. Have referred several family and friends and all too have been successful outcomes.
Dr. Hulstyn was very nice, prompt and got to the point but listened to what I actually said when he asked me questions. Very nice doctor!
He sat and listened to a list of questions my twelve year old wrote out during her preop appointment. Question by painstaking question without a hint of frustration or being in a rush. Surgery was a breeze as were recovery and post of care. I’d give him a 6 or 5 if I was able.
Dr. Hulstyn takes the time to listen, answer questions, and put me at ease. He is understanding and empathetic to my level of pain and discomfort. It is rare to find a Dr. such as him and I am grateful to be under his care.
Our visit was wonderful. We feel so confident that we are on the right path. Dr Hulstyn has a great manner and is super easy to talk to.
Very good doctor listen and very professional and care about what the patient is saying
Traveled 2000 miles to see my favorite surgeon for my shoulder. I won’t trust anyone else but Dr. Hulstyn.
The best!
He's 2nd generation knee doctor for my family great doctor.
