Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding care
After a surgery that saved my life Dr. Kwolek and everyone in the practice exhibited an incredibly high level of honest care and dedication for my health.

Dr. Kwolek Front Office
I never made my visit that day because the office called me just a few short hours before I was to arrive to tell me Dr. Kwolek does not see patients with my medical condition, even though I am a returning patient that was treated by Dr. Kwolek before. Instead, I would need to see one of his associates instead. All in all, I wasted weeks thinking I could see him and have to start all over, his office should have explained this when I first made the appointment with them. Poor training and communication, I will go elsewhere. Unfortunate as he is one of the best.

Vascular Surgery
I was referred to Dr. Kwolek for popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). His team appropriately and thoroughly diagnosed me and explained PAES and its treatment to me. I had Dr. Kwolek as my surgeon to release the entrapment in both legs and I felt confident I was under the best care. He and his team took great care of me and made sure me and my husband felt supported every step of the way.

Incredibly sincere, comforting and reassuring Dr.
Suffering from PAD, I quickly lost my ability to walk more than a few steps. An initial consult at a big Boston hospital left me feeling overwhelmed, apprehensive, and generally discouraged. Nothing against the ppl I met, they were kind, but the appt. was rushed and I felt I was nothing more than "yet another patient" in an endless line. My best description of the experience was factory medical care. Requesting a second "opinion" I was advised to contact Vascular Care Group and was given an appt. with Dr. Kwolek. I left my appointment confident and hopeful in his proposed treatment. His comforting nature and confidence is infectious. Those same traits were ever present during my procedure. You can see & hear it in the interactions with his staff; the praise given, their opinions and observations valued. They are a team of professionals; not just a Dr. and his "helpers". Dr. Kwolek is the embodiment of what we all seek in medical care. Compassion, kindness, and a provider of hope.
