I was genuinely impressed by Dr. Wydra’s ability to be so attentive, personable, and fully present throughout my first visit. I have never had such a positive experience in a medical setting. Not only did I feel truly heard and cared for, but I also felt confident that I was receiving the highest quality of care. Dr. Wydra’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine dedication to his patients made an exceptional first impression. I am incredibly grateful for such a wonderful experience.

I have been going to Dr Wydra for about 5 years now for my knee and shoulder. He has always treated me very professionally and has been interested in helping me stay pain free. I have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for him.

Dr. Wydra and his staff are excellent! They are patient, make sure you understand everything, and answer all questions. Dr. Wydra is great you can tell he cares. I’ve never had a doctor contact me to consult with about a surgery and then call me after the surgery to check on me. I highly recommend.

Dr Wydra was very thorough and recommended a good conservative treatment plan. He did my shoulder replacement three years ago and I would highly recommend him.

Restarting the evaluation process for possible surgery with a new doctor/office after 2 years was scary at first, but Dr. Wydra and his team made everything super easy to ensure i felt comfortable with moving forward and helped me schedule something quickly, which is exactly what i need. They offered lots of options for locations, and I was able to get my post op supplies in their office which eliminated any other stops for me. So far the experience has been great, and i feel confident and reassured that everything will turn out well!

I really liked the doctors, but I’m concerned with one doctor saying my problems are coming from my shoulders, while another is saying it’s my neck, both, I have had surgery on,, I just think I’m going a lot of running around from doctor to doctor, and I still don’t know what’s causing my pain, in the last few weeks, I’ve seen 3 different doctors, and I’m still no better then I was without seeing any doctors All I know is that I’m still in a lot of pain, even with my pain meds. The doctors at OCC are very good, I like them, my problem is I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
