Dr. Hrnack believes in treating his patient’s as if they were a member of his own family. What may work for one patient, may not work for all. Every patient is their own individual and as such, care of each patient needs to be tailored to those patient’s particular needs. While there are times surgery is required, many ailments can be treated conservatively with surgery being the last option. He wants to make sure that with any diagnosis, even if surgery is necessary, the patient should leave the office with a firm understanding of the problem and the treatment plan to address the issue.
​
Being an independent physician allows Dr. Hrnack to make his schedule so that he can take time with his patients. The goal at Action Orthopaedics is to schedule patients quickly, sometimes even same day, and treating them with the family friendly care that they deserve. There are no mid-levels in the practice, so every patient will see and be treated by Dr. Hrnack personally. Dr. Hrnack also makes it a priority to try and get each referring physician office notes so that all parties know and understand the treatment plan. He firmly believes in good communication and teamwork benefits the patient experience and recovery from injury.
​
Dr. Hrnack continues to lead a very active lifestyle. He enjoys running and attempting to play golf. He is married to his wife, Shelbi, who is a Certified Orthotist and Prosthetist. Together, they moved to Graham with their three dogs in hopes to bring great orthopedic care to the GRMC community.
