Testimonials

I have been a patient of Dr. Mittal’s for years. He has replaced both knees and my right hip. As fate would have it, my left hip is also needing to be replaced; the odds weren’t in my favor. However my current insurance wanted me to choose an orthopaedic surgeon in their network. My experience with Dr. Mittal has been incredible so I decided I wanted to stick with him and just change insurance when my policy ran out. My problem was the pain associated with my bad left hip kept increasing. Dr. Mittal had begun using Stem Cell Therapy injections for people with mild arthritis or who weren’t ready for surgery. Even though I need a hip replacement we decided to give it a shot. I had a stem cell injection a few months ago and can’t believe the change in my day to day life. I’ve been able to continue working and as long as I’m careful, I’m carrying on with most of my day to day activities. I would definitely recommend Stem Cell therapy with Dr. Mittal.

In October 2014 I had my left knee replaced by Dr. Yogesh Mittal. I started hitting the gym 6 months in advance of the surgery for cardio and leg exercise. Three weeks after the replacement I walked 3 miles without a crutch or cane. My rehab was done by the book per doctor’s instructions. I attribute my success to my surgeon’s skilled hands and the work beforehand plus therapy after the fact. Recently, I recounted my story to a friend who has just undergone knee replacement. I mistakenly told him the 3 mile walk was done 3 days after the surgery instead of 3 weeks. Now, 3 months into his recuperation, he thinks he isn’t doing well because he is still hobbling with a cane. I need to correct my story so my friend doesn’t think either he or his surgery is a failure.”

I wanted to take a moment to compliment some of your staff members on exceptional service rendered to first my daughter, Danielle Langley, and myself. My daughter was in a horrible car accident on 3/31/15 and was ultimately referred to Dr. Chalkin by her PCP (after the hospital’s referrals to surgeons were futile. None of those offices ever returned our calls). I had to travel from Washington DC to Tulsa to help care for my daughter and her 5 children the day after the accident, although my daughter suffered great pain with her broken arm for a full week before we finally were directed to your office. Your office got us in the next day after receiving a call from the PCP. I am SO grateful for that. From the first moment we entered the office until today, we have received nothing but excellence in both customer service and care for my daughter. When I expressed the urgency in getting my FMLA paperwork handled, your staff made themselves available immediately to assist me, despite how busy the practice was. No words could express my appreciation for their willingness to take on the urgency of this, as my employment status was contingent upon the completion of the paperwork. I’ve been in healthcare for over 20 years and I have rarely seen a team work so well together and be so driven to provide such outstanding patient care. Mr. Clary, I am a firm believer, that great staff are a reflection of great leadership. I would like to give a special thank you to Melissa, Erica, Chris and Lynda. These ladies truly went above and beyond the call of duty. They are to be commended for their dedication and compassion towards both me and my daughter in this very trying time. Please feel free to contact me directly should you need to. Please share this with the rest of your staff (ladies at the front desk were fabulous as well) and extend a very warm thank you to Dr. Chalkin for the wonderful care he gave to my daughter as well. Warm regards and blessings to all.”

Dr. Chalkin, you did a great job. If you hadn’t done the job you did, I wouldn’t even be able to use that arm.

My son Anthony (16) fractured the Scaphoid in his right hand during Nov. 2010. We were referred to Dr. Chalkin (Orthopedic Center Tulsa, OK) which when he reviewed Anthony’s MRI we were told Anthony needed surgery and physical therapy would follow. The Scaphoid fracture kept the bone from receiving blood; the bone was dying it was almost black. The graft needed a blood cell in order to give blood supply back to the bone. Dr. Chalkin said he would use Anthony’s bone graft if possible before he resorted to cadaver bone. During surgery instead of using cadaver bone Dr. Chalkin was able to take a bone graft from Anthony’s wrist and place it in the Scaphoid fracture. Will it work? The waiting begins. Anthony had four pins and several stitches. His casts were changed four different times from the time of surgery November 2010 through March 2011. During the March visit Anthony’s cast came off and the scar looked a lot better than I expected, the x-ray came back giving a positive report; the bone was now receiving blood and to top it off the surgery went so well Anthony does not need physical therapy just a lot of tender loving care like Dr. Chalkin gave him. If something like this ever happens again I hope that Dr. Chalkin is here to take care of us. Thank you Dr. Chalkin!!”
