    I understand they need to learn, but sometimes it is difficult for my toddler when we have it see the resident first. We wait in the waiting room, then finally get back to a room and have to see the resident. They often bring anxiety to my child. Then we wait again to see the physician. I our appointments are often during naptime as well. So by the time we actually see the physician, my child is a mess and it's impossible to get a good exam on her

    I have actively been working on finding help for my child. Working out with them, feeding 3 squares, walking (as thats the only activity that doesn't put acute pain in the middle and lower region of my child's back). They went from bouncing off the walls, climing trees, jumping like a frog, arms and legs, to needing to lean on me front a mile walk 4 times a week. I have been paying out of pocket for Physicians to tell me, have "her" lose weight, excersise, maybe she's depressed, get off the phone, (they get one hour a day), depressed because coping skills were OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, and are now living in pain. They don't want medication as they have seen friends get addicted to raping, drugs and alcohol. Doc wouldn't listen when I, mom tried to express its not growing pains! We have taken 7 xray in the last year, metabolic panel, hormone panel, and is seeing a therapist. I asked for help not yet another person to essentially say lose weight and exercise. That's the dream doc!!! They would love too!!!!!

    This wasn't our 1st visit. [Clinic name] referred my youngest granddaughter in March. I didn't even know ya'll were there. Everyone was great from check-in to check out. When the doctor called to notify us x-ray showed a broken bone & she needed referral I requested ya'll. Hopefully I won't have to request ya'll again. Big YES! YES! YES! I WILL REFER YA'LL TO ANYONE WHOSE CHILD NEED PED ORTHO.

    Dr. Skalak was a great doctor to see my daughter. He was very informative and made sure we knew every detail about her situation in and out. He let us, we left feeling like everything would be okay and knowledgeable of the situation that she was in for. We really appreciate his advice. Thank you.

    Yes, I am leaving a review for Dr. Timothy Skalak. He's a very good doctor. He's my daughter, been seeing him for a few months now. He's very, very attentive with all the questions that I have, my concerns for my daughter, and, you know, every question in detail, he explains the details of the test, details of what he feels, his opinions of, you know, what's best, or, you know, the best decision, or what can I do to further, you know, things that's going on with her at this time. And just very respectful, just very alert and very attentive. If, you know, whatever I have questions about, he's willing to help and show very concern. And I love him for being the doctor that he is, and he's the best doctor that I have had to just deal with this was going on with my daughter and her situation. And I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
