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.

Good doctor

Dr. Chrostowski is a miracle worker
After seeing several surgeons I felt that Dr. Chrostowski was very straightforward and compassionate. It has been 4 years and I am still pain free! Great surgeon!

De. C is a very nice man. He diagnosed my problem quickly, did all the appropriate hoop jumping with the insurance company. He thoroughly explained the problem, what was causing my pain.and what it took to fix the problem.He then performed surgery on my shoulder and it's amazing at the improvement. I have heardany people.say rotator cuff surgery is a horrible surgery but for me I had a good experience with very little pain afterwards and a very good recovery. This man knows his stuff! His office staff is great as well! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr C is excellent at what he does. He did my first total hip replacement. Now six weeks later he is doing the other one. Words cannot express how great I think him and his team are!!! I would recommend them to anyone. They have a way about them that puts your mind at ease. And they treat their patients like family! I will be forever grateful to them all.?????????? Georgia Campbell

I went to Dr. Chrostosky because I was in a lot pain for years. He saw my problem right away. Had knee surgery to correct the problem. Love his bed side manners. Can make you smile even when your in pain. Another thing I like about Dr. Chrostosky that he specializes in different orthopedic issurs. Been to other group doctors for an orthopedic problem and to find out that if you have more than one issue you need to make another appointment to see another doctor in inthe same orthopedic group.

Dr C. Was right to the point and spot on. He noticed my fracture when two ER visits and PCP never saw it. He explained my Carpal tunnel syndrome to me perfectly and we worked out a game plan that really is awesome.

Don't let his bedside manner deter you. Dr. Chrostowski is a caring doctor and brilliant surgeon. After performing surgery on my right ankle, he did my left a year later. I was miserable in pain leading up to the surgery and saw him on a Thursday afternoon, he was supposed to leave for a family trip that night. He stayed and did my surgery Friday morning before he left. I'm eternally grateful to him and could easily recommend him.

He did knee surgery on my moms right knee cap back in April of 2017.....he said she needed surgery due to her knee cap being broken..I took photos of the x-ray and it was fractured... He put a screw in her knee cap...he only gave my mom pain pills and sent her home. She died 2 days after her knee surgery...I would not recommend him!!!

honest, blunt, highly skilled, and the only surgeon I would use if I ever need one for orthopedics again. he told me upfront that I may have a limp forever after shattering an ankle. but after he fixed me I am 100% again. thank you and God bless!

I'm sure he is a qualified and skillful doctor. Problem is, after seeing him several times, it's my opinion that he is brusque, condescending, and completely devoid of any semblance of empathy (at least that was my experience - can't speak for anyone else). I don't think it has to do with his ivy-league education...I know several doctors with similar backgrounds who are wonderful with their patients. For this reason only, I have stopped going to him.
