- “Dr. Tancevski is amazing! I came to this office to see Dr. Tancevski for a second orthopedic opinion on my right knee. The first doctor only did a few X-rays, never physically touched my knee and said: “surgery it is.” I inquired about what would get done if there was more of a problem then on the X-ray and the first doctor's response was, “ I’ll fix it when I get in your knee.” Upon leaving my gut was telling me, “ Alicia, get a second opinion,” Dr. Tancevski was highly recommended, and I’m so glad I came to see him.
