I found Dr. Gradisek literally on the web, saw him for a consult (after many others) on my foot issues and by the time I left the office I was convinced he was my guy. He listened to my problems ,concerns, had a very open mind to my thoughts, wishes, he gave me several of his thoughts, past experiences and outcomes, so I made the decision to have Dr.Gradisek do my surgery and I couldn't be more pleased, he warned me of the ups and downs and length of rehab, and said if "you do what I ask this will all work" and it has! He is very approachable and a great young physician (the world needs more like him). The nurses and front office are great as well, they are professional yet caring, they get messages to the Dr. quickly and he responds quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Gradisek or Dr. Shonka for any foot and ankle problems you might have.
