Dr. Zlotnicki was very friendly and made you feel comfortable. He seems like a good doctor, and my first opinion is, "I like this doctor." I trust him to do my surgery.

Everyone was kind, friendly, and courteous. Dr. Zlotnicki's nurse, who brought in the shots for Dr. Zlotnicki, is especially sweet. Dr. Zlotnicki didn’t hurt me at all with the shots. He is very kind and sweet also.

I think Dr. Zlotnicki was great. He did knee replacement surgery. Everything went great. I can’t wait to get my other knee done.
