Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Prohaska consult
I saw Dr Prohaska for a shoulder issue that had been bothering me for months. Every person I was involved with was great to work with. His PA was extremely helpful in going over my x-ray and MRI results. Dr Prohaska was very personable and provided my options in a way that was easy to understand. Walking out of the clinic I could not have felt better knowing I can now have the opportunity to relieve this discomfort I have been dealing with. And Dr Prohaska assured me that he was very good at performing the procedure I chose to have done because I asked.

Right place to go
Was called into my appointment almost right on time. Everything was real quick. Everybody there was extremely nice. The doctor wanted to start out with the easiest possible solution and go from there instead of trying to go right into surgery.

I was impressed with this clinic. Everything was so efficient. There was almost no waiting from check-in to leaving. I went from Check-in to MRI, back to check-in, then to X-ray, then to the exam room and only sat for a couple minutes in one of the waiting areas. I saw the doctor's assistant first and a couple minutes later saw Dr. Prohaska. Dr. Prohaska performed successful surgeries on both of my wife's shoulders a few years ago and there was never any question that he would be the best choice for me. He is so personable and easy to talk to. I knew I need surgery and he said he could fix my shoulder - I have no doubt.
