Not the most sympathetic. I felt a bit like "just the facts, ma'am" type of comments. I am having some bad pain, behind my knee and in the front of the ankle. He said it was muscular but I don't know if any muscles have damage. Will press for more answers at next appoinment.

I highly recommend Dr. Witkowski. He performed my previous surgery 15 months ago, and I've also seen him for other visits in the past. He is an excellent surgeon_meticulous in his work, very thorough in his explanations, and upfront about any issues or concerns. He takes his patients seriously and ensures they are well-educated about their care. I have a great deal of trust and respect for his professionalism and skill.

I had a fall and broke my tibia, fibula and messed up my ankle really bad. Dr. Witkowski came to my aid. He ordered a CT scan to get a more in-depth view of my breaks and plan my surgery. He came into my room, introduced himself and explained why he wanted that scan and why he postponed my surgery a day. The day of the surgery, he sat and explained what his plan was and how he was going to do it. After surgery, he explained that my ankle was worse than expected and needed more than a few screws. Every office visit is the same. He explains everything clearly. I found out from my regular orthopedic, that he was told if he had a problem he wasn't sure how to handle or what to do, that he should recommend Dr. Witkowski, he's the best in the area. I am very thankful that Dr. Witkowski got my case!!
