Dr. Horinek and his whole team were wonderful. After the surgery he left me a video telling me how the surgery went and what was all done, this was fantastic because I could see and understand what was done. Thank you to the whole Salina Orthopedic team.

Review for Dr. El Dassouki

Dr didn't have any of my records. Never reviewed any prior CT or even my last Chest Xray. I had to provide him a screenshot I happened to save in my phone. If he's under that much pressure and his caseload is too overwhelming. Pulmonology needs to hire another Pulmonologist. Not a ApRN an board...

Review for Dr. Biring

I had a total knee replacement (right knee) and dr was very concerned. He did a great job and my knee is still (8 yrs later) doing great. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.
