Dr Rovak was super nice and knowledgeable! The whole office was very nice as well!

He knew almost immediately what the issue was and remarked on the past visit with other drs and all I had tried prior to visiting him. That means he is a Dr that actually reads your chart! I believe his rn/pa did too.

Very happy to have found a good dr!

I had a DIP joint fusion on my finger with Dr. Rovak and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. He explained the procedure clearly, answered all my questions, and I felt very confident in his expertise. The surgery went smoothly and my finger is healing well. I’m very thankful for his skill, attention to detail, and kind bedside manner.

I was expecting lots of pain and a slow recovery after hand surgery. I waited and waited for the pain and it didn’t come. I credit that to Dr. Rovak for his skill and expertise. He is not only a GREAT surgeon but a good human. I’m 5 weeks out and have already referred him to 3 friends.

I was brought back to the exam room at my appointment time, met with the nurse who got my key information, and within 5 minutes Dr Rovak walked in. Unheard of promptness for a doctor’s office. Dr Rovak made a quick exam, we discussed options for treatment and the benefits and drawbacks of each, and put a plan in motion. I was in and out in probably 15-20 minutes. My medical situation was straightforward so that may account for the timing but I appreciate efficiency and expertise wherever it occurs.

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 and staff were professional and friendly. I was able to a
get an appointment for the following day for arthritic thumb pain. I had a very short wait time to see Dr. Rovak, which is almost unheard of these day…A BIG PLUS! Dr. Rovak listened to my concerns, he thoroughly explained functional mechanics of hand/thumb area using 3D demonstration and discussed best treatment options with me. I highly recommend Dr. Rovak and staff if experiencing any hand issues. Great experience 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.
