The best doctor I came across in my 70 years. Very caring and having the patient's well being as the highest priority. Nobody, who will choose Dr Szczodry to be his/her doctor will be disappointed. He his God's sent to all those who lost hope with the medical community. Dr Szczodry is creme de la creme.

Dr Szczodry is an AWESOME doctor and I’m so happy with the attention and care he gives me as a patient ! He is authentic, takes the time to listen to me and he makes me feel important as a patient. I had an after hours call and he was not the doctor on call that evening BUT he very responsive and helped me resolve the issue. I would highly recommend Dr Szczodry as an orthopedic doctor. 5 stars are not enough. He deserves 10 stars for sure !!!!!

Doctor Michał is wonderful . He speaks very clearly and makes sure that patient will understand what is causing the issue you came with. Even if I am usually extremely nervous before any doctor’s visit , especially someone who I never saw before, he was able to almost immediately calm me down and do not stress about it. He is very knowledgeable and absolutely excellent person.

Dr. Szczodry is just an awesome person, doctor and surgeon! He is an example of kindness, compassion and understanding.
I am so thrilled that I have had the pleasure to not only meet Dr. Szczodry, but I’ve been privileged to have him as my surgeon. He has done amazing things for this 63 year olds body that other doctors have tried to “fix”, but failed. Thank you to the entire staff at MOC, who are always kind, compassionate and waiting with a smile! I feel so special every time I walk into this facility.
I must give a shout out to Dr. Richard Lim, who assisted Dr. Szczodry in my complicated and time consuming surgery last August. I feel amazing because of these doctors and continue to make progress each day!
Again, thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart!

He is a very caring, kind, and knowledgeable doctor. He does not rush me out the door. I like that he is honest. If surgery will not help you, he tells you so. I know he cares about me as a person not just another patient.

Listened. Suggested. Explained. Exhibited care.

I was very impressed with Dr. Szczodry. He really does listen to what you have to say. He than gives his opinion to a resolution. In my case, before he commits to anything, he needs me to get a MRI as well as a CT Scan so he can review them. After he looks over these 2 test results, my husband and I will go see the doctor and hear what his plan for me is, based on what the scans will show him. I would absolutely recommend this doctor. I have been to many orthopedic surgeons. I must say, I am very impressed with Dr. Szczodry!
Thank you.

Dr. Szczodry was very professional and explained everything. It was my first ever visit. I wasnt sure of the office procedures but was a little uncomfortable when the assistant came in on the computer and starting typing while I was still being explained my options. Things felt a little rushed after that.
