I have the utmost respect for Dr. Hlavacek as he did an amazing job with my pelvic surgery, and although I was seeing him for a foot issue, he seemed very knowledgeable regarding the possibility of removing my hardware and also knew his limitations if any kind of fusion were to be necessary, which I appreciated. I always feel like I'm in good hands with him.
