  • “I really appreciated that Dr. Choy took my general problems in consideration when deciding what to do with my broken metatarsal bones. It was greatly appreciated.”
    – Claudia M.
  • “I can't say enough about the care I get from Dr. Friedrich. He's totally professional and sincere. In this day and age of healthcare being so "corporate", he's down to earth, and caring. At a cookout the other day, I highly recommended Dr. Friedrich to a neighbor who was seeking a podiatrist. In closing, I want to thank Dr. Friedrich for the outstanding care he's provided!”
    – Harry H.
  • “Well where do I start? I've been with Dr. Puri for a long time. He's always concerned with how I'm doing and how to try to get me better. Even when I'm ready to give up, and lord knows how many times that's been. But the ones that's been around really treat me good and are very patient with me. I'm glad I have Dr. Puri for my doctor, as long as he wants to fight I guess I'll keep fighting to get better. ”
    – Wytania H.
  • “Dr. Corcoran is a fantastic surgeon with amazing people skills. He took as much time with me as I needed and explained the injury I had and the procedure that I was going to have. So well that I felt I had just attended a lecture on it in medical school. Follow-up care was just as good, and he made sure to address any questions or concerns that I might have had. In addition, all of my appointments were timely and prompt, yet I still felt that he gave me a more than adequate block of time with which to speak with him. He certainly made an uncomfortable situation as pleasant as it could be, and I would highly recommend him.”
    – Michael H.

    – Christine D.
  • “Dr. Friedrich was very helpful and understanding. He gave me great care and answered any questions that I have had. I appreciate his care for me and working with me to get better. If I ever had to come back. I would absolutely have him as my doctor again and I would refer people that I know to him as well. Thank you Dr. Friedrich for all of your help! It was very well appreciated in helping me to get better. ”
    – Mary W.
  • “Excellent care! The staff and doctor gave a full assessment of my surgery, the expectations, the procedure, and the reassurance that I would have good mobility back in my thumb once it was taken care of. Dr. Mohammad is a quiet doctor. Yet is completely competent and skilled in what he does, and having the surgery was the best choice for me to make. I'm so thankful for a successful surgery that gave me back the use of my thumb (I am a pianist).”
    – Gail K.
  • “Dr. Corcoran answers all my questions. After surgery he talked to my wife, discussing what went on. Most recently, on May 30, he did a great job repairing a badly injured A-C joint in my right shoulder. Over the last 10 years, I have had 6 ortho surgeries, all performed by OAK doctors. They did excellent work; I never hesitate in recommending OAK to my friends who have such needs. In addition to the above providers, I have seen Dr. Ellis a number of times for non-surgical or pre-surgical joint problems. He has always been very helpful. In addition, Dr. Ellis made time to speak to my Kinesiology class at Olivet on two different occasions. Thanks, OAK”
    – Scott A.
  • “Dr. Puri was excellent. Very thorough. Kept me informed and very successfully performed both of my hip replacements. He is a top notch Doctor and Surgeon!”
    – Silvio B.
  • “Dr. Michalow is a gem. He has great compassion and understanding. ”
    – Mary D.
  • “Having Dr. Tom Anktowiak for my surgeon instilled confidence in me. My husband and I were both pleased with his professionalism and knowledge. He was also willing to consult with a surgeon from France before he proceeded. That instilled in us a trust in him. The fact that he was humble enough to reach out to the doctor that perfected the reverse shoulder surgery I had done was impressive to us. He took his time exhausting all options before he operated. And then operated. We would recommend this one particular doctor over most others. Other opinions we received did not compare to his. We have the utmost confidence in him and his abilities.”
    – Robin K.

    – Jacklynn B.

    – Rebecca F.

    – Linda P.
  • “Excellent.”
    – Thomas D.
  • “Great experience every time I visit Dr Corcoran. He's taken care of several of my children and I. Every time he meets our expectations. When my children were athletes he got them back to competition with no complications. I myself will soon have to have a couple knees replaced. I wouldn't consider any other to help me with those replacements. His staff is second to none!!”
