Dr. Hlavacek was very attentive and explained everything quite clearly! I on the other hand was not sure of everything we went over so I called back a few days later to get some clarification.The doctor return my call rather quickly for a Doctor and was extremely patient with my list of questions that I had and explained everything making sure that I understood everything perfectly! I am very happy with Dr. Hlavacek and thankful for him making sure I understood everything before we ended the conversation. I never once felt that my questions where not of importance, nor did I feel like the Doctor wanted to rush off the phone as so many other caregivers do. I am grateful for the clarification I received and the peace of mind it brought me!

Dr Hlavacek is an outstanding doctor. Great communicator, gave options for care and gave his opinion on how to move forward. I am forever grateful to have been under his care at the moment in time. The staff is equally terrific. From the front desk to the nurses and adm staff.

My surgeon was very personable, caring and informative about my procedure and recovery. I liked his confident and straight forward answers. He took my main concern, returning to my hobby motorcycle riding, to heart and encouraged me to set a goal with a timeline to ride again. Every visit we discussed the goal and my accomplishments toward the goal. Extremely happy with my surgery, recovery and experience with my doctor and his staff.
