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.

Very nice and thorough

Moved on to another Doctor
Pros: Good at listening Cons: Appointment will be late, pushy in recommending certain things, jumped to conclusions that ended up being wrong, misread a lab (luckily I caught and corrected her thanks to MyChart access). Basically three strikes you're out - both my husband and I have moved on to another primary care doctor.

Very Good
I’ve been seeing Dr Wisnefski for several years. She keeps her appointments on time. She really takes time to sit with you and go through your health history and what is currently going on. I never feel rushed and I always getValue out of my wellness checks.

I am a female in my 20s, needed a new PCP. I chose a female PCP because I thought she would be more understanding, but I was VERY wrong. I had a very bad experience seeing Dr. Wisnefski for the first time. She was pushy, condescending, and dismissive of my concerns. She made sure to correct me when I wasn’t referring to my problem with the correct technical term. It felt like she wasn't really listening, and already had an opinion on everything, an opinion that actually was pretty different than the specialists I had already talked to:(She claimed my acne was not hormonal and it was 'just my skin', whereas my dermatologist told me it was hormonal and likely a side effect from my birth control!) Eventually she just prescribed me pills that are a temporary fix and told me I need to eat more calcium, LOL. I was so frustrated I was on the verge of tears at the end. Do not recommend

This was a wellness visit, which allowed us to review my general health. She took the time to review everything listed in MyChart, updated that information, prioritized my health concerns and ordered future labs to follow-up on concerns. She listened carefully to my concerns as well.

Terribly negative
This doctor has a very bleak view of the world and how to remain healthy. In addition, she lacks empathy. If I listened to her, it's hopeless for a menopausal woman to lose weight. It's also hopeless to fix a toenail with a fungal infection. No thanks, I'll find another doctor.

Very helpful at providing information on women's and general health. Generally easy to talk to, however, not very receptive to viewpoints or approaches other than her own. It's reassuring she's confident in her knowledge and experience because that builds trust. However, when I am having certain symptoms that she says are imagined or that I'm "just sensitive," I start doubting everything else. (Saw a specialist, my problems/symptoms were confirmed.) A good doctor, just perhaps not a good fit for someone like me.
