Long wate

Great -- but not the doctor I scheduled and would always prefer as booked.

11/06/2024

Felt like the dr. explained everything throughly

11/04/2024

Dr. Moravek is an amazing individual. Very professional, thorough and friendly. Spot on with the diagnosis and course of action. Adjustments during the shoulder replacement surgery were made to facilitate the best outcome. 1 yr later and it’s good as new. I am a residential home builder and Lake Michigan sailor/racer. The new shoulder has passed the jackhammer test as well as being tossed around by multiple thunderstorms in the middle of the lake during the Chicago to Mackinac race!

08/02/2024

Very helpful

08/02/2024

Because of Dr. Maronvek's assessment of my shoulder injury, and his explanati using his computer with my MRI on it, it was evident that a replacement over a fix it surgery was the best course for me to go.

07/31/2024

Not having to wait over an hour to be called to the exam room

07/24/2024

excellent service

07/24/2024

Great Dr. but He is not time efficient!

Very successful!!

07/10/2024

He explained everything clearly (even drew a picture of what happened in my injury) and was good about listening.

06/10/2024

I felt like I feel into a statistical grouping. No specific consideration for me as an individual.

05/18/2024

Needed rotator cuff replaced. He is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend him to family and friends .

05/15/2024

The scheduling is done awardly by calling one number then having to call another number to leave a message. Very unprofessional irregardless of how busy they are and taking 1 to 2 weeks to respond back is a very poor way to provide this service. As the patient has responsibilities to take care of as well and to be left hanging out there. Process needs an overhaul

05/13/2024

Professional and answered all questions.

05/13/2024

Will recommend the department after my own experience
