  • “I was seen by Dr. Jones for a work related injury. He was very thorough in explaining what could be causing the pain in my knees. He uses models to show where the tears were in my knee. He is a wonderful Doctor. I am very pleased to have Dr. Jones as a Doctor and now my surgeon.”

  • “Dr. Corcoran and his staff are the BEST. They are very professional, courteous, accommodating, etc. I was always treated as "Brenda" and not like a number. What I liked most about Dr. Corcoran is that he explained everything very thoroughly to me that I needed to know about my procedure. Mary and the other staff members are always very friendly and professional. I was always welcomed with warm smiles and service. This is how all doctor offices are supposed to be. So, a great big thank you to Dr. Corcoran and his team for being the ultimate professionals that you are. I will continue to refer others to this office.”

  • “As I walked into the Oak Orthopedic facility in Bradley the receptionist made me feel welcomed. My wait time was shorter than anticipated. The nurses/aids were friendly and professional. They listened to what I had to say about my problem. I felt at ease speaking with all. I had an x-ray first and the tech was patient with me and explained how I needed to stand/turn for the best results. When the x-ray was developed I was told exactly what it showed. Dr. Antkowiak came in and told what he needed to do. He was professional, friendly and took his time to explain just what I was dealing with. I needed to have an injection to ease the pain of my condition. Dr. Antkowiak prepared me for the injection, telling me exactly what he was doing step by step, so nothing was a surprise. I would recommend this orthopedic clinic to others in need. Why? Because of their treatment of me as an individual, not just another patient. This is what I find important in any clinical setting. ”

  • “From my first visit for a broken arm (humerus), the staff and Dr. Muhammad were very professional and provided the guidance and help needed to set up my surgery and post-surgery care. To say the least, I was scared, having never had any surgery, and the staff and Dr. Muahmmad's assistant John were very reassuring and informed me of what would be happening. Each time I had a follow-up appointment, Dr. Muhammad and/or John were professional and communicated my progress and plan for eventual complete healing. As well, the nursing/office staff were exceptional. Everyone was very caring and kind. I am happy to say I am completely healed and happy with the treatment and service I received. ”
