Review for Dr. Wilk
I am almost 66 and I will never give her up until I’m too old to drive to Faulkner Hospital. She has been a friend and doctor throughout all my health issues. I feel so blessed to have her as my PCP.

Dr. Fitz did both my left and right knees and the recovery and results were excellent. No complications and prompt response to any inquiries . He did extensive realignment on my left knee and I am now walking correctly and without pain . Thank you Dr. Fitz!!
