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.

Dr Karl is a VERY compassionate doctor. I don’t ever feel rushed during my appointments and he makes me feel like he truly cares about me.

Dr. Szafranski is wonderful. He saw my elderly father on several occasions and was so patient, kind caring, and thorough. My mother and I were very impressed and truly believe he cares about his patients.

BEWARE!! Dr Szafranski was a great doctor until I actually got sick. He refuses testing, refuses correspondence with care team is rude, condescending and has zero compassion for his patients. I would be dead had I accepted his opinion. He does not listen, he is a bully and will plow right over you with his need to be right. He does not care about your health. It concerns me that he treats elderly patients who may not have an advocate or may not know better. This man is dangerous and should not be practicing medicine.

Dr Karl is a gem. In today’s world of giant medical groups that are like an impersonal assembly line, Dr. Karl takes the time to make one feel like the patient is part of the solution. He is a throwback to the days of the old time family doctor while also being up on the latest advancements in family medicine. I could not recommend him more.

From our initial introduction to Dr. Karl which occurred under difficult circumstances he has been caring and respectful. He demonstrated patience and compassion while listening to mom describe her fears and concerns related to complications of a stroke and the impact on her physical health as well as effects on her speech. Through several follow up visits and continuing care we have been impressed with his genuine concern for moms welfare while keeping the family informed. THANK YOU DR. KARL.

Horrible bedside manner. He is more likely to throw medication at you than find out the cause of your issue. Even after a second opinion stated more testing was needed he called and stated he would not order the tests. He was rude and condescending both in person and over the phone. He was not our regular PCP but is in the same office and her refused to even discuss the matter with our regular PCP. Great office terrible doctor. Must be why he is so easy to get into.

Dr. Szafranski is hands-down the best doctor I've had in my 47 years. He's thorough, professional and caring. He spends as much time with you as needed - I've never felt rushed or uncomfortable.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Dr.Szafranski! He's very professional and shows to truly care about ones concerns. The nurse that assists me, as well, is very friendly and professional. At first I had to speak to the secretary she seemed a bit rude I thought to not return but once the doctor and nurse assisted me, as stated, I changed my mind and continue to come here !
