Patient Reviews
Sep 07, 2017
I have seen Dr. Pochatko for the last six years. I just had a second surgery and highly recommend him. I put all my trust in him, I personally think he is a great Dr. with a lot of experience. His PA's are also highly qualified and always friendly. The office staff is kind and courteous. The only downfall is they take FOREVER to respond to my disability insurance company. It takes me weeks until I receive a check.
