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.

Dr Wydra did a great job explaining everything and did not rush right to surgery and chose the less evasive approach.

Dr. Frank Wydra is an excellent orthopedic doctor. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about his patients. I lost my Cigna insurance, and even though his office doesn’t accept Medicaid, he still made sure to see me and help me. I really appreciate his compassion, understanding, and dedication during a difficult time. I highly recommend Dr. Wydra to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and caring orthopedic doctor.

This was my first visit to Dr. Wydra. He was knowledgeable, personable and supportive. I know that office is a very busy and efficient one, but I felt Dr. Wydra took the time necessary to address my concerns and develop a treatment plan. Additionally, the front office staff and back office support team were friendly and helpful!

I was so appreciative with how Dr. Wydra and his PA addressed my knee issue. I’ve been struggling with this issue for several months with no relief and they listened to my concerns, made me feel validated, evaluated x rays and ordered an MRI after evaluating my knee further. I was anticipating a more complicated process but all of this was handled within 30 minutes of my appointment. Highly recommend. Thank you 🙏

I’m so thankful for the way my reverse shoulder surgery, by Dr. Wydra, turned out. He did a great job and my range of motion is almost 100%, and I have no pain. I’m not young either at 73. I’m so glad I had the surgery. Gratefully, Mary Cucarola
