Dr. Ian Wilkofsky is an outstanding doctor who truly cares about his patients. He is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the United States and the state of Texas. Dr. Wilkofsky was very conservative with the treatment of my left knee. He first tried shots and then completed meniscus repair surgery before jumping in and doing a total knee replacement. I was so happy that he took this approach with fixing my left knee. I strongly recommend Dr. Wilkofsky for any orthopedic surgery, but especially knee replacement.

Dr. Wilkofsky brought life back to my knee yesterday and both shoulders today with injections! As much as I’d like to do a cartwheel to celebrate, at 70, I’m smarter than that! However, in 2 weeks, I will be riding my mule in East Texas with friends to celebrate! Thanks to y’all for helping all of us!

I injured my knee in a fall and needed to see an orthopedic specialist quickly. I was able to get an appointment within 24 hours with Dr. Wilkofsky and was extremely pleased with my experience at Orthopedic Associates. The staff is very professional. They have sufficient front desk staff to get you checked in immediately upon arrival. I waited less than 5 minutes to be seen by the doctor. I’ve had two visits now and both were quick. I have been extremely pleased – highly recommend.
