I have the utmost respect for Dr. Hlavacek as he did an amazing job with my pelvic surgery, and although I was seeing him for a foot issue, he seemed very knowledgeable regarding the possibility of removing my hardware and also knew his limitations if any kind of fusion were to be necessary, which I appreciated. I always feel like I'm in good hands with him.

The physician was just phenomenal. Great manner and thorough explanation. He even complimented my Urgent Care treatment which I found was a remarkably strong character trait.

It was my first visit with Dr. Hlavacek and I was very pleased with both his friendly character and the way he explained everything to me regarding my injury.

Through God's hand, Dr. Hlavacek brought me from not being able to walk or use my left arm, to a wheelchair to a walker to a boot and now to walking in shoes and pt on my left shoulder when I could do very little on my own relying on care from my family. I only have praise to God for Dr. Hlavacek. [...]
