Treatment Philosophy
I believe in treating the whole patient, not just their upper extremity injury or condition, as each is unique to each individual patient. My goal as your provider is to inform and educate patients on their diagnosis and treatment options and through shared decision making create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
Patient Comments
Vary professional and nice
Dr Informed me of an option to relieve thumb pain (injection). I asked if the injection could strengthen my thumb, but sadly it would not. He explained that my thumb will likely lock up at some point in the future. Since the pain is minimal, and he said I could return anytime for this, I decided to hold off on the injection. My Dr & staff were very kind, thorough and informative.
My doctor is very knowledgeable and professional.
Dr. Wiekrykas was absolutely amazing!!! I came to see him for a second opinion, [...] Dr. Wiekrykas Took the time to explain in detail what my problem was and he made sure that I understood everything that he was saying. He also helped me to understand why surgery was needed to fix this problem. Because of his kindness, taking the time with me to make sure that I understood everything and genuine concern for how I was feeling, I have decided to have him do my surgery.
Extremely pleased
