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.

Excellent Provider! Very nice, professional, and efficient staff!

Disorganized and Disrespectful
Despite having been listed as by primary care provider by my health insurance, I was recently informed that I was not a patient, could not schedule an appointment and could not speak to a doctor. After receiving this unwelcoming greeting I was asked for additional personal information so that this clinic 'could get back to me'. After a significant waiting period during which I have suffered negative side effects of the condition I was hoping to get check, I have now been informed that I still cannot speak with a doctor, I cannot be provided with any recommendations, and there is a 1 week to indefinite waiting period to hear back from this clinic.In addition to the disorganized manner in which this clinic is being operated I feel that is also important to note that the person who I spoke with on the phone was sharp, disrespectful, disinterested, and showed no interest in being informative or helpful towards the patients of this clinic. Very unprofessional, despite my minimal interactio

I highly disagree with some of these reviews. Dr Kocurek is straight and to the point he has friendly banter with his patients but he gets to the point of the problem. Sometimes you are with him longer than others. If you need to talk go see a shrink. The ladies at the front desk always greet me with a smile and are more than polite and accommodating on the phone with appointments. I have never waited more than 15 minutes for a appointment. Nurse Pam is wonderful. But the staff is very professional and kind and I take offense to people saying they are rude. They are always working like a said need to talk. Find a therapist

I had to step in and specifically create this account because of the reviews that I have read on this site. I'd like to review this as a long time second-generation patient of his. This man kept my dads leukemia in remission for 45 years. I have never seen anyone treat my parents with more love and concern and care then he has my mom and dad. the staff has always been wonderful & many 2nd gen. Nurses. They're not there to joke, they're professionals. Pam Slayton is an angel, so are those ladies

Dr is friendly, visits are perfunctory with minimal interaction. Diagnosis are hasty, without question and involve some type of medication - Next ...! Perhaps most consistent is the rudeness of his staff. From the initial call for an appointment to the final transfer of records to another Dr, I felt I was imposing on their time and patience. A request to lower the TV volume was met with disdain, efforts to transfer med records, outright hostility.

PO'ed (previously offended) in Schulenburg , TX – Jan 26, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kocurek?
I would NOT recommend this Dr. because he does not spend quality time with his pts and does NOT follow through with his paper work when required. His office staff is rude and unprofessional. When you call you get placed on hold or get hung up on. The office staff is not qualified or trained to fill out paperwork or follow up with pts. Don't waste your time or money with this this DR or office.
