“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. ”

“I really love this place! Everyone has been kind, knowledgeable, and medically professional. All things I look for and appreciate in people who I am entrusting my health to.

“Dr. Antkowiak exudes confidence and makes me confident as well. I really appreciate everyone on staff as well. ”
– Bill M.
“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.
“This is my second visit with Dr. Antkowiak. First was my swollen elbow which he addressed & is all better now. This visit was for my right painful knee area. Dr. Antkowiak makes me feel like I've known him a lot longer. He made me feel at ease from the very first time I met him & I really trust him with his decisions about my problems. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Antkowiak. Let me tell you about his COLD hands, when he puts them on the area that is painful, it feels like a live ice pack which does feel good. I HIGHLY recommend Oak Orthopedics & Dr. Tomas Antkowiak.”
