A Doctor who listened to me and kept me informed of options. The staff and therapy staff are the friendliest and helpful.

Dr. Kovalsky takes the time to explain everything, each medication, diagnosis, prognosis, and step by step process. He is patient with your needs, even when things change for you, and makes sure you are comfortable and have what is needed before he leaves the room. I’ve never left feeling like I’m confused or frustrated. I only wish I had started seeing him years ago.

Dr Kovalsky is very caring and easy to talk to. He’s had years of experience as an orthopedic surgeon. I’ve seen him for several years and wouldn’t want to change doctors. He knows his business.

DR TAKES TIME WITH HIS PATIENTS AND IS CONCERNED WITH THEIR PROBLRMS AND TRIES TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS THAT A PATIENT MIGHT HAVE HE IS A VERY GOOD DR

I like the way Dr Kovolsky listens to me and shows concern he is a great Person

Dr. Kovalsky has done 4 surgeries on me to date. The most resent is a total hip replacement. He is kind and thoughtful. He takes time to communicate with his patients, which sometimes means I have had to wait awhile for my appointment. BUT I don't mind waiting for him because I know he will take care of me with as much investment of himself in my needs. He is a good doctor/surgeon—one of my favorites. I recommend him often.

The staff are professional and friendly. Dr. Kovalsky is great at what he does .

I arrived at my appointment an hour late because I thought it was at that time they took me in was in and out within the hour. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff and dr. Kovalski

Dr kovaskly and staff went out of their way and made sure I understood my treatment and that I heard them. Very thorough.

Everyone one is very helpful and friendly. Always very concerned about your well being. Polite, patience, and always giving full details of appointments and procedures. I would recommend to others that may need their help.

From the front desk to the nurses were very nice. Dr Kovalsky was very nice and explained everything to me so I could understand. He did a complete checkup and explained as he was going as to what he was doing. I really liked him.

Dr. Kovalsky has been my back doctor since 2011. He has operated on my spine 3 times for 3 different injuries...cervical, S.I. joint and lumbar. He has always been the best! I was never nervous prior to my surgeries. He has helped me tremendously with my back pain. I still go to his clinic every 3 months for pain management for arthritis and other back issues which are not surgical problems. I would recommend him and his team to anyone!!!

Love Dr Kovalsky! Kind, understanding, makes sure to explain in a way you understand and then asks if he could explain anything better for you.

He was great.Explained everything to me.I really liked him.I would recommend him!!

visit was good as always Dr. Kovalsky is very good and concerned about your problems and listens to all you have to say

I was very impressed by how thorough his physical exam was and the right on questions he asked. I was also glad to hear him ask if I had any questions for him, not rushed but wanted to inform. Yes, I would definitely recommend him.

Professional, thorough, sense of humor, easy to talk to and understand.

Dr. Kovalsky took the time to listen to my symptoms and did a complete exam and listened to me attentively.

I love Dr. Kovalsky he cares about his patients and their family!

Dr. Kovalsky is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to listen to you.

I had SI joint surgery here in 2016 and everything went very well. DR Kovalsky did a very good job and everyone I encountered was very nice to me.

Dr. Kovalsky was very nice and took time to explain everything to me. He has a great personality and makes you feel comfortable.

My wife and I both appreciated the time Dr. Kovalsky spent explaining the MRI results and the procedure he was recommending. His explanation lessened our fears and assured us that I was in the right hands. Thank You!!

When I had my back and hip surgery, he helped me get what I needed done. He also help get the paperwork I needed to move into my place because it's for people with disability, medical disability, SSI and so on. I would recommend him to whoever, his staff is very nice and friendly. Thank You Dr. Kovalsky I feel so much better ever since my surgery.

Dr K is like family, My wife and I have been treated, and had surgery performed by Dr. Kovalsky. He is very caring, listens well and understands our situation. He always recommends the best possible treatment routes and follows though with them. I know several other patients of his and they are also pleased. Like I said he's like family.

DR. Kovalsky and his staff are friendly and very professional. They make you feel very comfortable. They explain everything in details that I as a patience could understand, and what was to be expected. I was able to leave the office without any lingering questions on my mind.

Even though I have only been going here a very short time, I have not had any bad experiences with the Orthopedic Center. Dr. Kolvasky has taken time with me and explained things so I could understand them and know what the game plan is going to be. He is going step by step and doing other procedures to see if they will help instead of just jumping right into surgery. The entire staff is friendly. If you have a question that the nurses don't have the answer to, they will tell you they will get it and come right back. And that's exactly what they do. The Orthopedic Center on Mt. Vernon is a great place to go. Even though I have only been going here a very short time, I have not had any bad experiences with the Orthopedic Center.

Doctor is great! He always listens to my concerns and makes sure my treatment plan is something I am comfortable with. I am thankful for his care of me!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kovalsky's for many years. He has always provided exceptional care and has went above and beyond to ensure my care is his top priority.

Very good surgeron. Total jerk of a person

Dr Kovalsky performed my Cervical surgery 1998 and lumbar 2001. I'm currently needing a new cervical procedure and am thinking of traveling from Philadelphia Pa to see Dr Kavalsky.

Terrible bedside manner. He was absolutely the most rude doctor we have seen thus far. Avoid this guy.

Very organized office with little wait time and excellent exam from Dr Kovalski who was really informative.

Have worked with orthopedic surgeons for 36 years "professionally" and when I needed surgery I went to Dr. K. as I knew he would be the best!

Dr. Kovalsky is a wonderful dr. He is very straight foward. If theres somthing really wrong hell tell you, but if theres a pulled muscle he will still tell you up front and try to help. He doesnt beat around the bush. If I need surgery hell be the one to do it. Would recommend to anyone in pain.

He is my surgeon for the ifuse 3d(sally study) and has been excellent the 4 years hes been my surgeon...i am due to have the ifuse 3d done on 03/20/18 and very confident in his abilities to give me a long term solution to si joint dysfunction!

I have had back issues since I was quite young. Historically, I have found doctors lack compassion, the ability to communicate, or both! Dr. Kovalsky and his staff are quite the opposite! I started seeing Dr. Smith for pain (who is also amazing!) and she quickly referred me to Dr. Kovalsky due to the severity of my issue. I was scheduled quickly, handled professionally, and informed in great detail what was going on and what the plan was going forward. This group of people are awesome! ??

I find Dr. Kovalsky to be extremely informative and thorough. Above all, I believe that he really cares about me He cares about my total health, not just my painful back problems. I usually have to wait to see him, but he is definitely worth the wait. He even uses models to help me understand the mechanics of my back pain. If you are looking for a top notch spine surgeon in a small town, Dr. Kovalsky is your guy.

great doctor reccomend to my best peeps and did .put new socket in, my dads old one busted from previous surgery from someone else and doc put 2 plates on inside of my spine was perfect!

i have seen this doctor and believe me, he is the worst doctor. Looking for another doctor to take over my back problem. I'm in worse pain. Doesn't return phone calls

NEVER AGAIN WILL I SEE HIM. DONE 2 SURGERIES ON ME AND WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AND NOW HE WONT SEE ME AGAIN AFTER HE HAS DONE THIS TO ME. I WILL BE IN PAIN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFEAND HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. CANT FOUND A DOCTOR.

I would never recommend him! He told me that most of his patients crawled in to see him, and since I was oviously walking, i was wasting his time! He referred me to DR. Smith in pain management. Very uncaring Doctor!

Will never come back, total lack of respect of patient, very rude!!
