8/31/2026It was the best experience I have had with any doctor since moving to the area a year ago, and I have seen a lot of doctors over the course of the last several months. Such a professional doctor and was genuinely concerned about my health. He explained my MRI so well and made me feel comfortable asking questions when I didn't fully understand something. I felt he gave me his best professional advice and advised that I see one of his colleagues for a second opinion. Although my health concerns are still ongoing, I appreciate the fact that he wanted verification from another professional on my health concerns. A++ doctor!!

My Dr. is always great. I've had another Dr. that I am happy with but Dr. Hlavacek was there for me when it couldn't wait. Now I'm switching almost everything to Baptist. You guys are on point. Thank You.
