I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff. Often times, simple acts of kindness are taken for granted and fall unnoticed through the cracks. These past few months have been tiresome and stressful not only for John, but for myself as well, and I know that were it not for your kindness and expertise as well as the courteous efficiency of the staff we would not have made it through this far without our collective sanity intact.

So far I am pleased with my experience here. It was my first time undergoing surgery, so at first I was a bit anxious but he put me at ease right away. He is thorough and willing to take the time to answer questions.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Szczepanski and his staff at Great Lakes Foot & Ankle. As a teenager I played a lot of basketball and suffered ankle sprains that left me with chronic ankle instability as I aged. Dr. Szczepanski operated on my L ankle two years ago. It's 1000% better now. Strong with no pain or instability. Because of how successful the L ankle surgery went, I opted to have surgery on my R ankle about a month ago. Dr. Sz performed the procedure, and although I'm only a month out, so far the results have been great. Throughout my entire 2+-year course of treatment with Dr

Excellent care and super friendly staff and doctors. I have had two sets of orthotics made and the process was straightforward and easy. I enjoyed my interactions with front desk staff, nurses and the doctor, who spent time chatting with me and answered my questions clearly.
