Dr Ronecker is extremely thorough. She listens to everything we have to say and takes all the time needed to answer questions/concerns. She is never rushed and does not skip over things we bring up. She talks to both my son and myself making us both at ease. She is clearly knowledgeable, yet explains things to us in ways that are easy to understand. She is patient and kind - understanding that many of the things discussed are stressful/scary for our family. Can't say enough good things about her.

Dr. Ronecker was exceptional. During the hardest time in our lives, she was able to provide much needed comfort. The end result was the same, but we at least knew we were doing what was best for our baby boy. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is facing difficult times like us. Dr. Ronecker provided much needed answers, but most importantly the genuineness in which she treated us. Certain things cannot be taught and Dr. Ronecker is an exceptional doctor, but she is also a genuine human being, which is very rare to find in this world today.

Dr Ronecker was just an incredible person to meet. She had a emergency surgery on our appointment day and was rescheduled for a later date...she took the time to look at our sons records and made a special appointment to see us a couple days later and took all of 9ur questions and answered them...it was a lot and we took a lot of her valuable time at no time did I feel we rushed and like we where taking up her time. She was kind patient and caring of our son. All the things i have heard of her from her staff fit perfectly which is a testament of the type of doctor and person she is when the staff praises her as well...that is very unique in the medical field and life in general.

Dr Ronecker was fantastic with my daughter. She established a rapport with her quickly and answered our questions and concerns about moving forward and provided clear direction. She instilled trust and confidence and acknowledged my daughter's questions and mine as well. She was very thorough, asking pertinent questions about pain and motion, gait of her walk etc'_ none of which we got from the Orthopedist. We feel that we've been give clear direction and are quite confident in the Dr. She was fantastic!!

Dr. Ronecker and her assistant Debbie are the best. We couldn't appreciate it more.

The provider asked and listened to my concerns about my child. She made me feel confident in the treatment she has planned for my child.
