Excellent
Very knowledgeable and helpful explaining your own procedure and progress. He makes you feel comfortable to ask any questions regarding the entire process.
He was concerned about what’s wrong with knee and wants me to get lab work to make sure no infection.
Dr Kopolovich repaired my ruptured patellar tendon and truthfully couldn’t have asked for a better orthopedic surgeon. The damage that was done during my accident could have had lifelong effects. Dr Dan did miraculous work repairing the knee. I am 4 months post surgery and almost back 100%. I highly recommend Dr Kopolovich to anyone needing orthopedic advice
Very detail oriented and thorough.
Very nice and great bedside manner. Knowledgeable and great experience with entire staff.
Friendly Doctor…answered all my questions! Great experience.
