Dr. Wrobel is a WONDERFUL doctor. He helped my elderly friend when he had his knees replaced. It went terrifically! So much so that I called today to get an appointment with him myself. Unfortunately, Dr. Wrobel retired this past December. What a loss! Too bad.

Two doctors I visited before highly recommend me to go for surgery. I was told I am in last stage (worst) of my knee condition, and there is no other way to fix it except surgery.Dr Wrobel has different opinion: It's up to you. He is not a "money sense" doctor, he explains pros and cons of surgery. Now two years has passed and I do not feel much worse and still in my tolerable zone, and I am seeing him again. I just want to ask him: Is there any newer technology coming up that will help me better?

i gotta say I don't know where some of these reviews come from. My personal experience at this facility was nothing short of genius, forward thinking techniques quick diagnosis and due diligence to insure the A team was on board for a dicey procedure. My recovery is still in progress yet a full recovery is inevitable. I would not hesitate to revisit Dr Wrobels and his staffs care or recommend them to friends or family. furthermore I am on my feet again without pain for the first time in years.

Torn miniscus, light arthiritus, no bone on bone according to Wrobel knee like 40 yr old. After surgery limited attention only thru PA, everything quick fix, now have bone on bone, bakers cyst, hurts more than original injury. New doc says more surgery inevitable. I feel he did enough to collect his fee and went golfing. Hurting alot & disappointed!

Dr Wrobel was sought for a 2nd opinion on my knee issue (strain). He was very attentive and very positive in his communication, he explained the issue well, gave great advice on minimizing future strain, and advised not to have surgery as was recommended by another doctor.

Dr.Worbel came into to exam room very judgmental concerning alternative medicine that I chose and was tonealy berating, ,dismissive attitude,didn't seem to want any discussion,or questions from me I would not recommend.
