Dr. Pavlik put me at ease immediately upon entering the examination room. His staff was friendly and well informed. Dr. Pavlik immediately made me feel confident in that he had studied my health history. He answered my questions and asked his own and let me know that the upcoming surgery was going to help me feel much better. I would recommend him over and over again.
