Russell S. Sticha, D.P.M.

“Dr. Sticha is always good.”

“Great Doctor. Very caring, and knows exactly what should be done. Would highly recommend any one with an ankle problem to see Dr. Sticha.”

“I had a very sore foot and he gave me a shot and so far it has been great.”

“Dr. Sticha is very personable and easy to talk to. He took care of my toe, and I left pain-free. I trust him. He is smart.”

“The intake nurse was wonderfully helpful and explained all the steps that would happen next. She also gave some helpful tips on finding the exit again. I was so very impressed with her and Dr. Sticha. We had a lovely conversation.”

“Dr. Sticha is very helpful and informative.”

“Dr. Sticha is excellent.”

“Dr. Sticha was good at explaining what I might expect in the next few weeks and gave me directions for progressive weight bearing. He also offers encouragement by praising you for what you have done thus far in recovery.”

“Dr. Sticha gave excellent pre-op information. The hospital procedure went very smoothly. I am nine weeks post-op and anxious to walk without pain for the first time in over five years.”

“I first saw Dr. Sticha the day after I fractured my ankle and fibula. I returned to Heartland Orthopedic for a cast, X-rays, and follow-up care after surgery. Dr. Sticha and his team always saw me promptly and explained what they were doing and what I needed to do to help in my recovery. I appreciated the treatment, responsiveness, and professionalism.”

“Dr. Sticha has good communication skills, is obviously experienced, and his confidence is immensely reassuring.”

“Dr. Sticha is so lovely. He’s sincere and not pushy or aloof. Dr. Sticha is a beautiful surgeon and is fantastic at giving nonpainful cortisone shots in the foot. He’s so personable! I would recommend him to anyone!”

“Dr. Sticha was great. I had been under the care of a different Dr. and was getting no where. After 2-3 months of wearing a boot and doing PT, I decided it was time to get a different opinion. Dr. Sticha immediately put me on prednisone to help with inflammation and relieve some of the pain. He kept me comfortable so I could enjoy my international trip and then did surgery. Surgery consisted of releasing the achilles, removing 2 BIG bone spurs and reattaching the achilles. During recovery Dr. Sticha was always available to answer my questions and never made me feel like I was bothering him. I am only 3+ months into recovery but things are getting SO much better.”

“Had left ankle replaced. Dr Sticha is an excellent doctor with a great patient relationship. He has operated on both of my ankles in the past 8 years.”

“All good. For 45 years, other doctors, including Mayo, have misdiagnosed my foot problems. Dr. Sticha saw the cause of my pain and told me how he could make the necessary repairs.”

“Dr. Sticha is very personable but knowledgeable. He wasn’t pushy but offered options with good backup information. The experience was very timely.”

“I have always had a great experience at Heartland Orthopedic Specialists. They schedule appointments promptly, and the front desk and nurses are all friendly and helpful. Dr. Sticha is amazing. He is personable, listens to my concerns, and always has the best treatment suggestions.”
