Dr. Honcharuk is great; we did not get to spend much time with her this visit. I wish she had pulled the pin out rather than her assistant.

Listened to concerns and spent time discussing options and plan of care
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/17/2025
Questions and evaluations were done on my son, and I thought rushed, by both surgeon and the resident following her that day. For instance... ""walk down the hall""... And then told him to go faster like he was moving slow on purpose. He was in pain and that is part of why I wanted him evaluated. Could have been a bit more compassionate, in my opinion.
