Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Doctor ever.

Great surgeon
Was taken to Baptist Hospital by ambulance after a serious fall - compound fracture of femur along with other injuries. So thankful for Dr Hlavacek! He was the on call Orthopedic Surgeon who preformed my emergency surgery and is amazing. As a Senior, I was fearful that I might not walk again. Thanks to Dr Hlavacek I’ve gone from a wheelchair in rehab and I’m now walking with the aid of a walker. Hoping to graduate to a cane by the end of this year. Highly recommend Dr Hlavacek!

The Best! Nurse in ER recommended, so grateful
My friends from CT came to office, and also waited while I had the operation. They said I couldn’t found a better, knowledgeable, caring Surgeon. They would come from CT if they needed any orthopedic care. Glad Baptist ER recommended the best.

I fell and broke my hip. Dr. Hlavacek explained plan A and Plan B. He explained in a way I understood and provided a drawing of the femur. He answered all my questions. Amazing surgeon. I was very lucky to have him do my surgery.

I broke my pelvis in three places and damaged ligaments. Pretty bad injury. Dr Hlavacek is a great surgeon. He knows what he is doing and has a warm bedside manner. I am so lucky that he was on call the evening I went to Lafayette General Trams Unit. I highly recommend his services.
