Dr Wyzykowski is an excellent surgeon. He takes the time to make sure you understand what the diagnosis is and how the surgery will improve your condition. He was very caring and attentive with every visit. I had chronic pain in my wrist for years and after surgery I am now pain free.

Dr. Wyzykowski performed rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder and a year later the shoulder is better than it ever was. He told me exactly what to do and what to expect during every phase of me recovery.

Dr. Wyzykowski performed Dupuytren’s Contracture surgery on my hand and ring finger. Entanglement of nerve and tendon growth required extra time, patience, and skill, all of which he brought. I have no loss of sensation, almost no scar tissue, and can straighten and bend my finger. Dr. Wyzykowski is businesslike and direct. He always made sure I understood his instructions and knew what to expect. He is dedicated to “removing the disability,” and advocates strongly for the best outcome.

One of the best. Takes the time to go over everything, very detailed, and the outcome of my carpal tunnel release was excellent and as predicted. I would highly recommend Dr. Wyzykowski. Also, excellent patient interaction with not only him but his entire staff. Plus excellent care in the physical therapy sessions that enhanced and improved the outcome of the surgery and sped up the healing process.

Dr. Wyzykowski is a very professional MD who listens, and explains test results in a manner that a lay person will understand. Gave me confidence in his recommendations for surgery. A very positive result of my rotator cuff surgery, after following his plan of physical therapy.

Dr. Wyzykowski operated on me for carpal tunnel. It was very successful. I didn't even have to take an aspirin. The pain and numbness is all gone. He spends time to explain everything very well.

Dr. Wyzykowski performed rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. Prior to the surgery I had seen him for tendonitis and trigger thumb problems. I appreciated that the torn rotator cuff and subsequent surgery were explained in terms I could understand. Dr. Wyzykowski required a specific PT protocol as well as post surgery expectations for me. It wasn't always easy, but when followed, they worked. As a result the surgery and rehab were successful which made me happy.

I went to Wyzykowski for tendinitis in my wrists. He immediately dismissed my problem and recommended I go see other doctors. His behavior was so rude and belittling that I started crying in the office. Do not go to this doctor. It's not worth it.

I had a carpal tunnel release performed on my left hand. He explained the procedure, which was an open repair including the advantages of an open procedure vs. laparoscopic. He provided the initial post op exercises after surgery so I could get started right away. As a result I needed only 4 physical therapy visits. I have a complete return of hand function. I would recommend him to someone needing this procedure.
