Nice job Doc.

He’s great. I’m struggling because of the experience due to OWCP and what they are doing. I feel like Dr Mylnarek is trying to be patient and understanding but at the same time it feels like his frustration is impacting his willingness to do what’s being asked of OWCP which then causes more issues for me. It’s a terrible cycle and I feel horrible about it. I like Dr Mylnarek a whole bunch and feel like I’ve burned him out because of what I’m being made to do from OWCP

I enjoy that he actually talks to you about how you’ve been etc. He truly cares about you. I have never felt just like a number or put down or not heard like I have been with some other Doctors. I have been receiving shots in my knees for a long time and he is so careful that they don’t hurt at all or just a little but I never drink enough so that don’t help. Many think I’m crazy when I say they don’t hurt.

After five years of constant knee pain—from age 20 to 25—I had seen 5-6 doctors, gone through physical therapy, taken medications with terrible side effects, and received steroid injections, all with little to no relief. From my first visit with Dr. Mlynarek, I knew this experience would be different. He was kind, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He thoroughly reviewed my MRI scans, pointed out what others had missed, and explained the challenges ahead with complete honesty. He even consulted with trusted colleagues to ensure the best care plan.
Now, just four months after surgery, I’m walking, jogging, and playing basketball—pain-free and without medication. For the first time in years, I feel like I have my life back. Dr. Mlynarek has been the best medical professional I’ve ever encountered.

He is a good listener and advices well with care. He also responds without making the patient feel down/bad.

Because Dr. Mylnarek spends the right amount of time with his patients, time allotted in scheduling systems should be reflective of what's realistic.

Dr.Mylnarek is an excellent surgeon, he is caring and he always listens to what I have to say, he has done rotator cuff repair surgery on both my shoulders and I have no complaints, I highly recommend Dr. Mylnarek if you're having problems with your shoulders.

Dr Mlynarek came highly recommended by some friends who had seen him for knee surgery. He was extremely thorough in my examination and spent a lot of time explaining things as to the issue and options to address. He has a wonderful bedside manner, easy to talk to and understand. The office staff was organized, professional and everything was punctual.

Outstanding doctor

I came for a second opinion because the last visit didn't give me any hope or help. I was discouraged and frustrated. Doc listened and should compassion and caring. He offered solutions and a tax plan where the last visit with the other doc did none of those things

wonderful experience

I’ve been working with Dr. Mylnarek for over a year after a traumatic event. He’s gone above and beyond from first appointment. Great conversationalist, utmost levels of professionalism, common courtesy, compassion, respect and sympathy. He lays out all options available, their pros and cons and what he would personally choose BUT never forces his choice as my decision. He’s the best in the orthopedic business

Dr. Mlynareks reputation precedes him. Every Trinity Health facility I’ve had surgery tells me he’s the best. Hear the same from my Team Rehab PTs. I knew it to be true from 1st appt with Dr. M

Dr Mlynarek is hands down the best doctor experience we have had. From the initial visit (he took almost an hour with us to fully explain what will happen and what to expect) to all follow ups with him and Zach, always making us feel heard, and valued! Can’t say enough good things about him and his staff.

Highly recommend the entire staff in this practice

Best experience I could hope for. He is kind, compassionate, understanding, and thorough and demonstrates the highest level of caring professionalism. He discusses the needs and concerns of his patients with them and helps them find the best treatment options. Dr. Mlynarek is simply amazing.

Excellent. There are people who go into the field of medicine and those who go in because their heart is in it and they are truly called to that place by the good Lord above and I believe Dr. MLYNAREK is there because his heart is fully in it.

The staff were efficient, caring, and respectful of my time. Dr. Mlynarek was thoughtful in explaining my options/things I should consider before surgery, and compassionate as to the pain I've had- since he had the same injury prior to becoming a surgeon.
