Dr. Valaik has been an excellent physician in diagnosing and performing the needed hip surgery. I would not select any other physician if I ever needed a second hip replacement. He is attentive, caring and professional in every way. Five stars plus!!

Dr Dan Valaik performed surgery on my right hip and the entire experience from Pre-ops, through hospitalization to post-ops was outstanding. Dr Valaik genuine cares about the patient including the patient’s family who will be an extended part of the surgery life cycle. He has mastered the science of his craft so he is able to inject humanity into the patient care process.
