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.

Everyone was great at Hand Surgery Associates. Dr. Michalko was great. He is a doctor whose is honest and says things how they are. If you have questions he will answer them completely. The two nurses were great as I needed my cast changed multiple times (my fault). The two ladies in the front office were always helpful as was Dr. Michalko’s office assistant who was wonderful with my questions especially about my insurances. Thank you all so for your help and assistance. I appreciate it so much.

Am 64 and broke my wrist. It was a severe fracture. Dr. Michalko did surgery and I was out of the cast in one week so I could start physical therapy right away. Almost 4 months have past and I can make a fist and actually resume my normal activities. Thank you so much Dr Michalko.

It is out of the norm for me to write a review but today went to get my fracture checked on and stitches removed everyone told me watch out wherever you go they'll try to drain as much money as possible. It was the opposite no unnecessary nonsense recommended in and out and very professional.
