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.

I was hit by two dogs that clipped me from behind. Five breaks double compound fractures. He was the doctor on call and I was blessed he was! Great personality, explained everything in detail. Was one of the best doctors I have ever had. Sense of humor too. He has become mine and my husbands bone doctor for the following surgeries and always will be.

Dr Pucek & his staff are awesome, the office staff are great. I had an appointment for 11am arrived at 10:55, I was called to the room & never sat down in the front Lobby. Saw Dr Pucek & then he came back & injected my knee. Made my follow-up appointment also. I was out of there at 11:15. To a great group of Professionals that has it together.

I was there for x-rays and checkup on a broken shoulder. I also got an annual.checkup on a hip and knees that had been replaced. As usual, Dr. Pucek and his staff were very efficient and pleasant. I always recommend him to any of my friends who are considering orthopedic surgery. Personally, I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else as long as he’s available. He’s #1.

Dr. Pucek is the best! Nine years out on one knee replacement and five on the other and I'm doing great! He is truly one of the nicest men I've met.

Dr Pucek performed my third knee surgery since 1980 is Dec 2016 following a 1973 football injury. I am so much better today than I have been since 1973. The knee replacement surgery was a total success and I have no pain in my knee at all. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone considering this type surgery. Excellent doctor who really cares about his patients!

Dr. Pucek did my total knee replacement 2 years ago. I choose him based on outcomes from several people I know personally. Initially I liked him very much. He does listen but failed to discuss the possible poor outcomes. When my knee surgery resulted in neuropathy, he didn't want to hear about any negative outcomes. He kept coming up with one excuse after the other. At 1 year post-op he offered to give me a cortisone injection in the replaced knee. I didn't have surgery to have to continue getting cortisone injections! He also suggested my neuropathy was caused by the tourniquet used during surgery. When it was clear that I was unhappy with my outcome and his lack of understanding of my perspective, he told me that I was welcome to get a second opinion, so I did and I have not been back to see to Dr. Pucek since. I have had 2 nerve conduction studies and both confirm neuropathy after 2 yrs. I am facing possible surgery for nerve decompression or decide to live with it.

Dr. Pucek did amazing surgeries on my son after a bad wreck. He placed a metal rod to repair my son's broken femur, and placed pins in his broken wrist and fingers. He repaired a torn meniscus for me two separate times, different knees. He drained a cyst from my wrist. Three total separate experiences, all treated exactly the same...giving top notch care and quality time to discuss treatment. He is excellent at what he does, and is very approachable. He is definitely the best!
