Doctor Pavlovich is a great doctor. I injured my arm and he evaluated me immediately and operated the next day. He takes time to explain everything and I highly recommend him. He is the best in his field.

Once I got an appointment, I was thrilled from then on because he was the best doctor I ever had contact with. I was thrilled how well he dealt with me. Within a few minutes I was convinced I was with the best doctor. He asked me to tell him about the reason(s) I came to his office. He allowed me to talk as long as I wanted. Then he proceeded to to examine me, looked thoroughly through my records, then we had a conference concerning my situation. He proceeded with his diagnose and how we could best solve my situation. I have never felt in better hands.

Dr. Pavlovich is a really good doctor. He did a knee surgery on my knee to repair a torn meniscus. I am now in rehab trying to get everything as strong as it was before surgery. I think the doctor did a good job on my knee and that it will turn out good after I get all my physical therapy done. I like Dr. Pavlovich, he is a nice guy. I think if you need a surgery he is a good choice for sure.
