Patient Reviews

He was accommodating, explained things so I could understand.

– Ronald T.

They fixed the problem I was having in my knee and also fixed another problem they found when they got in there. Always polite, always professional, and took my special circumstances into consideration. I really like all the staff, and the PA that works with Jelinek is awesome too.

– Joni K.

Dr. Jelinek was very good in his explanation of the procedure. Answered all our questions.

– Robert A.

I could not have asked for a more wonderful compassionate doctor than Dr. Jelinek. He has been wonderful for me both before and after a knee scope. He has also helped me with some hip tendonitis.

– Marcia K.

I felt important when offering information about my injury and was very happy with the care and time were given to me by Dr. Jelinek. I was relieved not to have surgery as a treatment due to the careful study of new X-rays taken before being seen by the doctor.
