• Dr. Konopka listened intently to my physical activity history and the location of the pain I am feeling. He took his time to review my x-ray results in depth, did a comprehensive exam of the mobility of my hips and the areas where the pain is most present. He explained the steps we are going to take to diagnosis the cause and determine an appropriate plan and some of the potential challenges. I truly appreciate all of the time he took with me to gain a thorough understanding of my condition, which is rare in today's healthcare environment!

Great bedside manner, answered all my questions, gave me options to consider to delay surgery, reviewed the actual xrays with me so I understood and could visualize the issues in my hips.

• Well, obviously, I can't say enough good things about the receptionist the nurse and the doctor and his assistant they were all very professional very timely and we're outstanding in all aspects of my visit

  2026-05-12

• I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Konopka last year to obtain a second opinion about knee replacement. [redacted] I was so grateful to Dr. Knopka because he explained that, at that time, I was not ready for knee replacement. He also explained several other considerations the other surgeon did not mention [redacted]. This is the type of approach that I can truly appreciate. I want to be fully informed about this surgery and Dr. Konopka took the time to make sure that I was well aware of what to expect. I am now ready to have my knee surgery and am grateful that Dr. Konopka and his team will be doing it.

  2026-05-06

• Dr. Konopka was great, in his looking over my knee, checking its movements and flex ability. He made recommendations for any upcoming dental work I may have and the meds to take.

  2026-05-04

• I just met the doctor. He was attentive. I was comfortable during my appointment

  2026-05-03

• Dr. Konopka listened to me and then explained what seems to be going on with my knees. Although I was hoping for a quick fix he gave me exercises and stretches to do, as well as using Voltaren and Advil to help with my achy knees. I can already feel a difference in my knees with the new plan.

  2026-04-30

• Dr. Konopka answered all my questions and concerns. He spent ample time with me.

  2026-04-29

• I have the utmost respect for Dr Konopka as a surgeon - but I felt that he couldn't get out of the room fast enough. He kept starting to get up and I'd ask another question. He would answer my question but it was quite closed ended.

  2026-04-29

• Dr. Konopka and his team are outstanding and if anyone in my family ever has an issue with their knees that would require surgery I would recommend him without hesitation.

  2026-04-30

• Extremely happy with the surgury, pre op visits and post op visits. Everyone I dealt with was very professional

  2026-04-21

• I was nervous but the doctor put me at ease within minutes.

  2026-04-19

• Doctor Konopka was candid about my knee arthritis and I appreciate that he was. My former doctor was not candid. He told me my knee was fine and called in a script for a steroid pac (a few times) Dr Konopka showed me the xray and went over it with me.

  2026-04-18

• I felt that he was a good communicator and I appreciated that.

  2026-04-17

• Great!

• Hi, the doctor, the team, the nurse practitioner, and the nurses all were wonderful and they listened to me, they knew my medical situation, they broke it down very clear and clean to the options and I'm very, very satisfied and very happy and they genuinely care about my well-being. So keep up the great work and thank you so much.

• I had a great appointment and I'm glad that I made the switch to Wentworth Douglas Hospital.

  2026-03-27

• I found Dr. Joseph Konopka very professional, very thorough, and he actually explained everything to me. I have been fighting an infection for quite a while, and he managed to get everything together, figure everything out for me, and I've had a lot of problems in the past with what was going on, and he made me feel comfortable, made me feel like he's going to take good care of me, and was very, very, very good about finding out what's going on with me. So I would recommend him to anybody, and hope to continue to see him well. Hopefully, when he finishes, I don't have to see him, but if I have to see him again, I'll be happy to. Bye.

• I felt at ease with Dr. konopka. He spoke with me, not at me or down to me. He was clear in his explanations about what he thought might be going on, as well as what he thought was appropriate testing to verify his suspicions about the actual cause. He also offered up some possibilities that may be of help in the near future.

• He was very informative about the procedure I would have and listened carefully. I was impressed with his knowledge and his assurance that I was a good candidate for surgery and the procedure that would be followed with a pre physical, etc. I was not sure about having the surgery but feel better about doing it.

  2025-11-23

• I have seen Dr Konopka for the past 7 years and he has replaced both my hips. He has always been honest about what I needed to do for my own success and he has guided me through each surgery with dignity and great care. After my last surgery he sensed I was frustrated and down and he went the extra mile to make sure I received the proper care to get better. He will always attempt to find an answer whether it be something he can do or someone he can refer me to for help. I have such great respect for him and appreciate all he has done for me.

  2025-11-23

• The entire team has been efficient and helpful do far

  2025-10-27

• The experience was right on time and very efficent. I got the Xray neededright away and waited jus a few minutes for the doctor.

  2025-10-26

• The provider entered with his mind made up. He spoke quickly, and left little time for [redacted] and caregivers to ask questions. He made reference to a radical surgery that would take away [redacted]'s existing mobility and independence. Because she could not verbally express her pain degree, he determined she had little pain. Caregivers were there to report on how she has been expressing pain, but this doctor offered them minimal opportunity to speak. This isn't the 50s to 70s when people with disabilities were given radical surgeries just to shut them up. This doctor may have good reviews, but he displayed an incredibly poor bedside manor, and an unbelievable view of [redacted]'s worth as a person, during this visit. The only positive thing that occurred was that she was referred to physiatry. [redacted]

  2025-10-13

• I appreciated that Dr Konopka and his staff took time with me, watched out for my safety and respected the amount of pain my hip was giving me. Everybody was attentive and listened well. I was also grateful with the speed that Dr [redacted] referred me quickly to her colleague, once I decided my hip was not improving enough and that the quality my life was declining. EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SO KIND.

  2025-10-12

• we have history. He recalled my last surgery. we discussed when knee replacement made sense, and intermediary actions until then

  2025-10-06

• From the beginning to after the surgery, the communication was there. I knew every step of the journey what I was gonna be going through.

  2025-10-06

• He replaced my hip in June things went well he has a wonderful team he works with he is very good at listening and answering questions I highly recommend him

  2025-09-24

• Dr.Koponka explained things to me in a way I could understand. He listened to me and took his time with me. I was comfortable in asking questions.
