In 1993, after graduating from medical school at Thomas Jefferson University, completing a
General Surgery Residency at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, and finishing a Hand Surgery Fellowship at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Dr. Mihalsky started his private practice in Hand Surgery in Oklahoma City. After two years, he moved his practice to Edmond, affiliating with Edmond Medical Center to establish the first Hand Surgery practice in the city. In 2020, his practice associated with OU Medicine, continuing to see patients at his Edmond office.

He has competed in the U.S. Fencing National Championships on several occasions. He was one of the first certified Women's Lacrosse Referees in Oklahoma.

He approaches patient care with a healthy respect for patients' desires to avoid surgery when possible, but to proceed when necessary. He believes a well informed patient will make appropriate medical decisions.
