Simply put, they are the best! I highly recommend.

Dr. Rovak was pleasant, professional and efficient. He diagnosed my hand problem immediately and prescribed appropriate tests.
He then advised a plan that recognized my age.
Could ask for anything more.

The physician was extremely knowledgeable and quickly determined the right course of action for my broken fingers. He recommended Occupational Therapy, and the therapist was phenomenal—providing home exercise programs that truly set me on the path to recovery. I’m writing this letter today after completing an 18-hole round of golf—my major goal and a milestone I’m thrilled to have achieved!

Dr. Rovak took the necessary time to talk to me about my hand and all of the options. Lots of other doctors could learn from him about good patient protocol.
Bonnie P.
No wait. Kind. Took care of my problem quickly.
Sheila T.
I had a checkup appointment with Dr. Rovak regarding my de quervain’s tensynovitis in my left thumb. Dr. Rovak was great! Efficient and effective in assessing my healing progress. I had wanted to learn if there was PT or any home exercises I could do to hurry along the healing. Alas, he was honest and advised me to let that hand rest as often as possible. I declined a cortisone shot, but know that’s an option if I deem it appropriate later. Really appreciate Dr. Rovak!
Janice W.
I appreciated this appointment with Dr. Jason Rovak explaining from the x-rays dealing with a trigger finger. He explained the process of the injection of a steroid into the left ring finger. Hope the trigger finger is resolved in a month.
Gregg T.
Checking in online was very easy and upon arrival my check in went very smooth. Nurse was super polite. Dr Rovas greeted me and my injured right wrist. Recommended Xrays.

Benjamin Mark A.
I was nervous going into the procedure with Dr. Rovak as he hasn’t performed many surgeries specific to my injury. I tore my bicep tendon and had to have it reattached. He performed the surgery with an experienced colleague which gave me more comfort. Nobody wants to be the test subject but in order to get better one has to have the opportunities. It’s been 4 months since the surgery and I got cleared for work. Normal heal time is roughly 5 months. Dr. Rovak had several one on one meetings with me as I healed and checked the progress by having me move my arm in a way that I could see and feel the tendon, thus removing any doubt that he performed the surgery competently, and confidently without having to get another MRI for proof beyond what I can see and feel.
As I think back when I met him, he had a gentle but confident nature, although I was worried in the beginning, the post care meetings and therapy results put to bed any doubt that Dr. Rovak is an excellent surgeon. Like any professional with these types of results, I have no problem giving him props - he deserves it.
Jo D.
