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.

Great visit
I arrived, was seen, got injections, and was out the door very quickly. Dr was professional yet personable. Great visit as always.

Appointment with Dr. Szcesniak
I explained my concerns and changes since my last visit. Dr. S listened and referred to previous evaluations and test results. He suggested two or three options that we could try and recommended the treatment he thought best. We agreed to proceed with that. I very much like that Dr. S. Listens and explains what’s going on.

Above Expectations!
Dr Szczesniak was so kind, compassionate, and attentive. He took the time explaining and reviewing a plan for my knee issues. He didn't make me feel rushed, and made sure that I understood the plan forward. I would certainly recommend Dr Szczesniak to anyone having issues with their knees. HIGHLY IMPRESSED with his care!!
