Dr Kovack has completed total joint replacement on both my shoulders and the outcome results have been excellent! For about 15 years I was unable to fully lift my left shoulder followed by deterioration of my right shoulder joint . As my left joint became frozen it got the the point I was no longer able to swim or do much of anything above my head. After my surgery and therapy I have been amazed at the difference. I now have no pain or limitations in moving my shoulder. I highly recommend him!

I had a total shoulder replacement with Dr. Kovack and an just thrilled with the results. Dr. Kovack takes plenty of time with patients, his staff is excellent; and his results are just amazing. The recuperation was not at all difficult and his staff is always available to answer questions. Anthony Long and Tyler Hansen are the physical therapists on Dr. Kovack's team and they do wonderful work. Dr. Kovack is in frequent touch with them and they know exactly what you need to do.

I had my right shoulder done last summer and due to a fall at work just recently had my left shoulder rotator and Bicep repaired. Dr. Kovack is such a good Dr. My right shoulder is fantastic and my left shoulder is on the way. A very Knowledgeble and caring Dr.

I went in for an initial visit with Dr. Kovack on a Tuesday. He ordered a MRI. By Thursday his office had not even contacted my insurance company for an approval for the MRI because his notes had not been transcribed yet... and I am standing by in pain. Either they are understaffed or there is no sense of urgency. Either way, I decided to go to Orthopedic One.

Dr Kovack did a great job on my shoulder 4 years ago with a total arthroscopic biologic shoulder resurfacing. It has been good as new and I avoided a total shoulder replacement. I am very pleased with his care and the results!

Dr. Kovack and his team provide the type of experience that each person/patient should have. For those that have been told that you really don’t have any more options for your shoulders please go see him as you won’t be disappointed. Shoulder resurfacing provides options for those with no options so thank you. He is the kind of surgeon/physician who takes to the time to formulate treatment plans with realistic expectations that can give you your life back. He does this without making you feel “r

I had a total biological shoulder resurfacing with ostechondral allograft & bovine collagen patch on my rotator cuff on Friday June 22nd. I have had 11 previous surgeries with other doctors from a old work injury. This was about the last resort before a conventional replacement which I’ve been told I’m too young for. Can’t say enough good things about Dr Kovack & his staff. He prayed with me before surgery & I just feel so comfortable with him. Will see his things go but I have faith in him.

Having experienced 4 shoulder dislocations, torn rotator, detached bicep and two other surgeries over the past 50 years I thought that I was just going to have to live with the pain but Dr. Kovack came up with a plan and did a total resurfacing along with repairing my bicep and rotator. Five months post surgery I am pain free and my mobility is already better than what I had prior to surgery. The post surgery physical therapy from Anthony Long and Tyler Hansen was fantastic! Highly recommended!

The first doctor I saw told me that I needed to have my shoulder replaced. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Kovack and he told me that total shoulder resurfacing would correct the issues I was having with range of motion and pain. Two months after my shoulder resurfacing surgery I had full range of motion and could, once again, complete daily activities with ease. Anthony Long and Tyler Hanson are excellent physical therapists. I highly recommend Dr. Kovack and his entire staff!
