Dr. Z rebuilt my right ankle after I tore it off in a car wreck. He rebuilt it and put my in an external fixator to let it heal. He also replaces the elbow I blew out with a metal hinge. He was SO friendly, even teasing me about having to keep the fixator on longer once he got to know me. I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone I could. I'm still thankful to him to this day!

Was told to go see a hip and knee doctor called up Mercy Health got Dr. Zlowodzki was not impressed by his bed side manor as they say he was very short with me and did not even seem to care.

Dr. Zlowodzki was prompt, very knowledgeable, quick to make a referral for us due to the nature of one of my husband's injuries and him being unable to follow up (not his home office), if he completed the surgery. He was kind and considerate and took the time to explain my husband's injury and acknowledge the other injury was healing well post operatively and explain that and concerns to us as well. He spoke with the physician we were referred to to explain my husband's injury pre-appointment and listened to our concerns as well. We found his bedside manner to be a 10/10.
