Testimonials

The most caring doctors and staff I have ever had the good fortune to meet, and so thankful they are here in Tulsa.

The Orthopaedic Center is far and away the best group of doctors I have ever encountered. I trust this group implicitly for my orthopedic needs, and they have yet to disappoint me. With their fellowship trained doctors, wonderful bedside manner, patient focus and attention to detail, I choose them over anyone else. Thank you to the doctors and staff at the Othopaedic Center

The atmosphere and staff were very pleasant and professional,I felt at ease my experience was quite comfortable and they took excellent care of me.

Everyone at the center was GREAT! I would recommend everyone that was associated with the clinic. Their follow up physical therapy is also very good! Bottom line is if you don’t have good follow up you will not get the most out of your surgery and that is NOT the surgeons fault. I have had both shoulders rotator cuff operated on by two of their surgeons and my end results were off the chart. I now have more flexibility in my shoulders than I had previously AND I can do push-ups!!’ How’s that for a 76 year old?? Next they replaced my knee. By the end of therapy my knee could bend 133 degrees. Most are happy with 120. After two and a half months I walk normal and can do yoga. It is a weird feeling placing your repaired knee on the yoga mat with your body weight on it but there is NO pain. I’m a HAPPY ole man with the surgeons and the therapists. The hospital they use is a different story. Some need to be fired. Most were good but the 1or 2 ruined my stay and allowed me to suffer some very acute nerve pain that was NOT associated with the surgery but was caused by walking on a bad knee that affected the nerve in my hip. I was refused pain medication at 4 hours for a whole extended shift. My hip hurt, my replaced knee did not. I wish that nurse had come in my room because I would of strangled her and claimed self defense . The orthopedic center has GREAT surgeons and their follow up therapists and GREAT too! They just need a different hospital to work in or kick some butts out of the hospital! Most of the staff was good.

Dr. Holt & staff are OUTSTANDING!!!! They have done both Knees and Rotator Cuffs, and have always treated me with respect and professionalism. They've given me back my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Orthopedic Center is staffed by experienced professionals, doctors and support personnel, I will continue to stay with these wonderful people as long as they will have me! Now when it comes to my personal foot care specialist, surgeon, doctor etc, Dr. Lisa Mogelnicki, I have been a patient of Dr. Mogelnicki's for several years. She is an excellent doctor and puts more attention into my physical well being than I do and for that, myself and my family just love her ! Thank Doc.

Dr. Chalkin, you did a great job. If you hadn’t done the job you did, I wouldn’t even be able to use that arm.

I wanted to take a moment to compliment some of your staff members on exceptional service rendered to first my daughter, Danielle Langley, and myself. My daughter was in a horrible car accident on 3/31/15 and was ultimately referred to Dr. Chalkin by her PCP (after the hospital’s referrals to surgeons were futile. None of those offices ever returned our calls). I had to travel from Washington DC to Tulsa to help care for my daughter and her 5 children the day after the accident, although my daughter suffered great pain with her broken arm for a full week before we finally were directed to your office. Your office got us in the next day after receiving a call from the PCP. I am SO grateful for that. From the first moment we entered the office until today, we have received nothing but excellence in both customer service and care for my daughter. When I expressed the urgency in getting my FMLA paperwork handled, your staff made themselves available immediately to assist me, despite how busy the practice was. No words could express my appreciation for their willingness to take on the urgency of this, as my employment status was contingent upon the completion of the paperwork. I’ve been in healthcare for over 20 years and I have rarely seen a team work so well together and be so driven to provide such outstanding patient care. Mr. Clary, I am a firm believer, that great staff are a reflection of great leadership. I would like to give a special thank you to Melissa, Erica, Chris and Lynda. These ladies truly went above and beyond the call of duty. They are to be commended for their dedication and compassion towards both me and my daughter in this very trying time. Please feel free to contact me directly should you need to. Please share this with the rest of your staff (ladies at the front desk were fabulous as well) and extend a very warm thank you to Dr. Chalkin for the wonderful care he gave to my daughter as well. Warm regards and blessings to all.”

In October 2014 I had my left knee replaced by Dr. Yogesh Mittal. I started hitting the gym 6 months in advance of the surgery for cardio and leg exercise. Three weeks after the replacement I walked 3 miles without a crutch or cane. My rehab was done by the book per doctor’s instructions. I attribute my success to my surgeon’s skilled hands and the work beforehand plus therapy after the fact. Recently, I recounted my story to a friend who has just undergone knee replacement. I mistakenly told him the 3 mile walk was done 3 days after the surgery instead of 3 weeks. Now, 3 months into his recuperation, he thinks he isn’t doing well because he is still hobbling with a cane. I need to correct my story so my friend doesn’t think either he or his surgery is a failure.”

We are a patient of record for over eight years. We are excited about the prospect of John being able to dance again. These films showcase the bone on bone JTF has endured for many years. We have embraced low impact warm pool therapy and he still has the moves just unable to support earth’s full gravity on his past perfect joints. We look forward to boasting the smooth moves and rapid recovery of an 81 year old patient of the TOC team. The photos below are from a few weeks back. He is able to walk about 30 laps at St. Johns’ therapy pool and is all smiles ear to ear. He hates to leave the pool! He may be able to tell you best at his bed side phone. :)”
