Dr. Anderson is always very thorough in his interactions, and his knowledge of the field is impressive. I appreciate that he listens to me instead of just talking at me even though he is the expert. He is easy to relate to, and I've been satisfied with the care he has provided.

Dr. Anderson is awesome! He has diagnosed and treated fingers on both my hands. I can never thank him enough for the quick diagnosis and treatment. Surgery, follow up appointments, and therapy were all scheduled and coordinated within a few days of my visit. His staff is incredible.

“Everyone that greeted me was very professional and made me feel comfortable and safe! They took every precaution to keep areas wiped down with disinfectant. I'm always thankful when x-rays get completed on-site instead of having to make another appointment elsewhere! The x-ray tech was very attentive to my comfort while trying to get the best results. Dr. Anderson is a true professional! She provided me with a precise diagnosis and discussed my options. As I've elected to have a surgical procedure done, I find myself thankful again that they also have the surgical facility in the next building! Dr. Anderson, the faculty and organization, provide me with a lot of positives in a negative situation!” Vickie P.

“Dr. Anderson is the “best.” I came in to get an Injection in my Right Hand, She has performed surgery on both my hands, because of an accident. She is “awesome,” always 110%. I am going to have her perform Surgery on my Right Hand in the Spring. I always recommend her when someone asks who had done my past Surgeries.” Larry W.

This is a truly professional office without losing the human touch. Dr. Plank and his entire staff and their therapy unit were very friendly and understanding during every encounter I had with Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute. If and when I require this type of service again, without a doubt I will be back. Thank you for all your help and caring attention. ” Sam T

Dr. Plank was very patient, answered all of my questions, and my husband’s as well. Very polite and friendly bedside manner. I felt very safe and comfortable under his care, before meeting with him, I had heard a lot of positive things about him, and he met my expectations.” Nellie R

“I have visited Dr. Gruszka for past knee issues. I’ve never felt more comfortable with any doctor and his staff than I do with his group. They listen, and they care about my problems in an almost family type environment.” Gary G.

“Dr. Gruszka is one of the best doctors I have met with. He replaced my left knee four years ago, and it has been as good as new. The right one is due for replacement in the fall. He will do that one too! It's a pleasure to deal with professionals who make a potential traumatic experience calming. The staff is also superb. My visits have been excellent. Thank you for a professional, yet personal experience.” Rudy G.

“Dr. Gruszka has been fantastic! I feel that he knows what he is talking about and he tells you exactly what you need to know. He even had my husband, and I come back in to talk things over with him before making any decisions. I would recommend him to anyone! I have also had zero problems with my knee since he did my surgery. Great doctor!”Jessica F.

“I had a total knee replacement in February and it went terrific. Dr. Szczesniak explained everything in detail and has gone over what to expect during my recovery at every appointment since. He did a wonderful job on the surgery. Healing has been problem free. I can't praise him enough!” Joanna W. Nov 2021

“Dr. Szczesniak was very thorough in explaining all options and the surgery itself. Took an exceptional amount of time with me, and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. Felt much more comfortable leaving the office then coming in.” Michael P.

My visit to Lakeshore Bone & Joint in Valpo office was by far the best doctor's office visit I ever experienced. Their office personnel was fantastic, the x-ray technician was superb, and Dr. Eric Szczesniak was also a person who listened and informed me with answers to all of my questions with patience and details. Granted, I was probably one of the first couples of appointments. Still, I have been first at other doctors' offices, and the efficiencies of the staff were far superior to I have ever experienced! I highly recommend them!” Ron P

“Tore meniscus in my right knee a few years ago and scope procedure was completed successfully by Dr. Kay. One year after was able to complete half Hancock stair climb. Last year nonsurgical injury to my left knee and not a good response to a cortisone injection. Dr. Kay stuck with me and after 3 injections, I was able to heal. Over one year later I have been able to participate in exercises I love such as walking, aqua Zumba, swimming, exercise classes and yoga. I have lost 20#, cut my anti-inflammatory use down to as needed, and able to enjoy my work and activities again. My knees aren’t perfect but I am so much better! I’m thankful for where I am today and thankful Dr. Kay and his team helped me get to this point! ” Janice A.

“I have suffered for some time with knee and joint pain. The pain was so severe that I had difficulty walking. When I would stand from a sitting position, it would take a bit to get my knees unlocked and straightened out to be able to walk. At my first appointment, x-rays indicated that both knees were bone on bone. Dr. Kralovec was very thorough and also very patient explaining all of my options and answering all of my questions. I decided on the best option for me at this point in time. I am very pleased with the results. I have great confidence in Dr. Kralovec and our treatment plan.” Jacqueline J. Sep 2021

“I knew that ultimately I was going to require double knee replacements someday. My thoughts were to postpone this for at least three years. I came to Dr. Kralovec seeking anything to alleviate the terrible knee pain that suddenly flared up. At my appointment, Dr. Kralovec explained all of my options. And I knew the tough decision had to be made. Its been six months since my first knee, and I had the second one done six weeks later. It still seems surreal that I did it! But so glad I did! I am pleased with my results. Dr. Kralovec and Heather in the office were amazing! I can’t say enough about how helpful Heather was at solving problems. I have recommended this office to everyone I come across that is considering knee replacement.” Timothy B.

“My experience with Dr. Kralovec and his staff was excellent. I didn't spend time in the waiting room feeling like I wasn't important. It is a very relaxing atmosphere. I was able to ask all my questions and felt comfortable with the feedback. After my surgery, they were calling to check in on me and see how I was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Kralovec if you are having knee or hip issues. You will not be disappointed.” Jocelyn H.

“Dr. Levenda was extremely kind. He put up with my fears and concerns and did an excellent job. On the day of the surgery he continued to encourage me. His assistant was very kind as well. He also took great care of my daughter with a broken ankle. I have highly recommended him to others.” Gayle M

Dr. Levenda is always professional, yet personal. Both he and his asst. Natalie took the time to listen to the details of my physical concerns and offer viable solutions. This is not my first experience with Dr. Levenda and his staff, and more than likely not my last. Regardless, it is good to know that the doctors and staff, like Dr. Levenda and Natalie, at LBJI, continue to serve the area in an exemplary manner. Thanks.” Tom S

“Dr. Musgrave and all staff from the time you check in are very, very nice. I waited four years in pain and finally found a surgeon that I felt comfortable with to have my total hip replacement. From the first visit to surgery and beyond he is terrific. He is fantastic, takes time with you and very excellent! So glad that I am finally out of pain.” Rich M.
