Yeah, Dr. Engelhardt was just top notch. He was an amazing surgeon, doctor, bedside manner, great, always very respectful, kind, you know, very gentle approach, very, very humble, but very, very talented surgeon, very capable, like very, very skilled, highly, probably very, very talent. The surgery he did on my left leg was just incredible. He removed so many veins. It's unbelievable. I've had this surgery before, several times before, and it's never come out this good. So yeah, I mean, he is my highest praise. He's an incredible surgeon. And he's got both aspects. He's not only technically skilled in the operating room, but he's also got a really good way about him with patients and explaining things.

I feel confident he will do everything in his power to treat my health issues and not delay in giving me the care I need.I'm so greatful to my PC doctor for referring him to me.For six years I tried to get help and now I finally have a competent doctor.

He basically saved my life and I could be amputated. And the way he really saved my leg, it's unbelievable. He's very humble and very polite and a lovely guy and very professional. I think he's among the rarest physicians I have ever met here in this city. Thank you.

I went to Dr. Engelhardt with a problem. He assessed the situation, he offered to do more tests and I'm looking forward to that. I would refer him to anyone.
