5.0 star star star star starDr. Babka is the only physician I have met who actually cares about keeping me active and functional. When I first saw him for my knees, other people kept telling to just quit my exercise program. Not Dr. Babka, he came up with a plan to rehab me safely so I could continue. 2 years later my knees are great, so I came back when my shoulders started bothering me. He always gives you the options and works with you instead of dictating what you should do.

5.0 star star star star starHis bedside manner was excellent. He spoke directly to my 12 year old and earned her trust as well as mine. His knowledge of her sport and how to treat a growing body was impressive and made us confident in his diagnosis and treatment plan.

5.0 star star star star starHe was the third doctor Ive been to and by far the best. One of the nicest doctors Ive ever had. He explained everything to me and gave me options and cared about my opinion. Also proceeded me with a care plan which other doctors have not.
