This Doctor was professional, understanding, and friendly. He explained my condition so that it was easy to understand. His staff is efficient and courteous. X-Rays on site. This Doctor is excellent. I've had a poor and troubling experience with another orthopedic Doctor, it was a relief to find Dr. Hontas and I am grateful that he is an Aetna Medicare PPOin-network provider!
