Testimonials

Dr Mittal is fabulous! I had a knee replacement 1 yr and 3 months ago on my right knee (another surgeon not in Ok.) still cannot straighten it completely. With Dr. Mittal I did what he offered for pre surgery, had my surgery (choose the PRP) and I am 39 days out of surgery and doing great. Follow what he and the team set up for you and you will do wonderful! This knee for me was a revision and replacement, which I believe must be harder, but it is going great. The only problem I had was an allergic reaction to the antibiotic (I didn't know I was allergic to this antibiotic) but once we got that cleared up and changed antibiotics all was and is well!!! Thank You Dr. Mittal and team at C.O.R.E.!!!!!

I had a wonderful experience with this office. Everything was so quick and in order. I knew I was going to need a hip replacement and my first appointment I got my x-rays and after they decided I was in need of one they immediately sent my information over for a surgery date. The times I was told they would call was always spot on and everyone is so nice. Thank you guys!

Dr Mittal and his staff have been absolutely wonderful. I had Stem cell injection early April followed by PRP injection early May. The procedures themselves were seamless, I had very little discomfort. Every one was so kind and reassuring. My results to date are every thing I had hoped for. I couldn’t walk without a brace and a limp for a year previous to the procedure. I am almost back to my younger years knee and I know I will continue to improve over the coming months. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I really like Dr. CHALKIN and His staff. He's probably the best surgeon I've ever had surgery from. He is extremely intelligent and knows what he's doing when it comes to sports medicine . Also He ski's so hes into sports and knows how important activities are to his clients. As where other Dr are telling me to live like an old Lady after fixing my other shoulder that never held. I told Dr. Chalkin I was going skydiving he smirked and said "I don't doubt it" instead of discourage me. I tell everyone about Him because He's the Dr. That wouldn't operate on my rt arm because I still 100% motion. Even without my rotator cuff and torn bicep and ligament. He fixed everything in my left arm instead of just fixing the rotator cuff and calling it good. I'm so grateful God put Dr. Chalkin in my life. Ill never go through another surgeon again for my shoulders. There is life after surgery!!! Follow surgeon directions. Oh and there's always a wait at His office know that in advance if want the best he is in high demand be prepared to sit and wait!!!

I am about 6 weeks out from a total knee replacement and 95% recovered and back to normal. Dr.Holt did a great job, and the recovery at the Core Center was first rate. The PT staff at the Ortho Center are very professional and so important to a full recovery. 5 stars all around!

The Orthopedics Center of Tulsa has provided care that is resulting in superior health outcomes for my life. The center's health care staff from my Surgeon to Physical Therapist have guided me to greater achievements than I thought possible. My wife and I are very thankful we selected Orthopedics Center of Tulsa.

From the Receptionists to each Professional at The Orthopaedic Center, Tulsa, OK, everyone offered professional assistance with great care. The entire Staff was welcoming and interested in my healthcare as their priority. I can’t recommend The Orthopaedic Center highly enough for your care.

I sought treatment from Dr. Mittal for torn meniscus in my knee. I had been suffering for a year and had seen two other orthopedics first. One performed arthroscopic surgery but I saw no results – actually, I felt worse. The second, who works for a clinic with a great reputation took one look at me and said he couldn’t help me and that even if he could he “wouldn’t want to” because I was “too high risk.” I was a 41 year old, healthy, non-smoker, non-drinker, avid runner, but because I had developed a DVT after the arthroscopic, he considered me high risk. He also told me I would just have to stop running, treating my “hobby” as unimportant because I’m not a professional or collegiate athlete. At first I was sad, then I got mad and began doing research as to what doctor in the U.S. could help. I was ready to go ANYWHERE to find someone to help me. Fortunately, I only had to go an hour from home. Through a series of fortunate conversations with multiple people, I was made aware of Dr. Mittal and that he reputation for being the best knee guy there is. I made an appointment, thinking that it couldn’t hurt but probably wouldn’t help. Boy was I wrong! First of all, Dr. Mittal didn’t treat me like I was unimportant or that my passion for running was just a silly hobby. He had the desire to get me back to doing what I love. In fact, he said that if I could change my activity and be happy, great. But if not, then let’s do everything in our power to get me back out there. Of course, by this time I could barely walk, so this had not become a mission just to be able to run anymore. It had become about living a normal life, even over living an active one. He also said that blood clots happen, even when taking the proper precautions, and that I absolutely was not high risk. We discussed my treatment options and stem cell therapy seemed to be the best direction to go at the time since it is far less invasive than a knee replacement (which does await me in the future, but not yet!) Stem cell therapy is literally just an injection, and to Dr. Mittal, I was a perfect candidate. The only drawback was that I had to pay out of pocket because insurance doesn’t cover stem cell therapy. And, paying so much out of pocket for one injection with no guarantees and limited long term results is even riskier. Even so, my husband and I decided that we needed to exhaust all options before we started looking at invasive procedures, so we opted for stem cells. The injection itself took maybe 15-20 minutes. Dr. Mittal was very thorough, using a special x-ray machine so that he could SEE exactly where to inject the stem cells, rather than just guess at the right spot. I felt no pain. At all. Ever. Even when the numbing agents wore off, I was perfectly fine. A little sore, but no pain. He warned me that I would be pretty sore and might want to use crutches for a few days after the injection, but the opposite happened. I felt better that very night and noticed a slight improvement in my range of motion by the next evening. He released me to start biking two weeks later and running 4 weeks later. That was December 22, 2014 and it was the best Christmas present I could have received. I ran (jogged slowly, but still) a 5K race on New Year’s Eve, and by the end of January I felt like myself again, just out of shape! I was no longer an injured runner, but a runner. Period. And even better, I was pain free the rest of the time. No more limping. No more having to unhinge my knee to straighten it out. It simply worked like a knee should. Would I recommend stem cell therapy to friends/family? Like anything else in medicine, the results are not guaranteed, but mine have been miraculous and I am so grateful that Dr. Mittal believes in cutting edge medicine. I couldn’t be happier with my results.”

Dear Dr Mittal and Staff, My total left hip replacement was May 5 of this year. My recovery has been remarkable and I am feeling stronger everyday. I can bend and stretch without pain and although I am still careful about how I move, I am able to do most of the things I need and want to do. You and your staff did a remarkable job and I was also so grateful for a very good hospital experience at Hillcrest (except for the coffee!) Please accept my sincere gratitude and thanks for truly giving me my life back. Best of luck with your continued success and thank you for your hard work and dedication to helping people.

Dr Palomino and I reviewed my shoulder MRI together and he explained thoroughly the issue causing my pain. He then explained my options and the expected outcomes. He then left the decision to me. I opted for an arthroscopic procedure in a couple weeks. Doctors and staff are kind and helpful. I would not trust any other group with my orthopedic issues.
