I hadn't seen Dr. Wydra for the past 3 years but knew he was the doctor to see when my shoulder was acting up again. He is a caring and knowledgeable provider. He listens to his patients and makes sure they understand what he is saying as well. I would recommend him highly.

The office of Dr Wydra is a tight ship. They paid attention to detail and are responsive to any inquires within the same day OCC was able to get me in next business day for consult and surgery scheduling was expedient. Dr Wydra was professional, personable, and explained everything clearly. My recovery has exceeded expectations. The onsite Xray is a huge convenience. If I ever test a moving SUVs bumper strength with my knee again there is no doubt Dr Wydra will be my preferred doctor.

Dr. Wydra and his team did an awesome job. His scheduling team worked miracles to get my procedure approved quickly and turned a bad experience with a different provider into a great one. I needed full ACL reconstruction. Dr. Wydra instilled confidence with his knowledge and experience. He provided thorough explanations and recommendations, and he instilled confidence throughout the process. Plus, he did an awesome job! Hanna was a great complement to Dr. Wydra, and Sierra was excellent to work with through the scheduling and approval process. I am 100% satisfied and very grateful to have had such a great team!
