I thought I would need my shoulder replaced but Dr. Mehalik advised me not to do it. It’s great to have a doctor who doesn’t try to create business. He projects a very confident persona.

I was very pleased with Dr Mehalik. He's very knowledgeable but he informed me that I would be better served with Dr Berra. So I have an appointment with Dr Berra to discuss knee replacement. The office staff are fabulous!
