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 Skyba has been my doctor for 6 yrs. He takes time reviewing and making recommendations on how to live a healthy life. Very professional and not judgmental. He always discusses with me a health plan and gives different options that I can follow. He always check eyes ear mouth throat breathing and joint reflex as part of my routine health care. He us very commendable.

The best doctor that I have ever met.
Dr Skyba was on time and at all time he was behaving very professionally but friendly and nice at the same time. We covered exercising, Mediterranean diet, cholesterol, my family history, my culture, his volunteering for the community and after 40 minutes, the nurse came to draw my blood. That was the longest visit with a family doctor :) If I could give him 10 stars, I would.

Dr Skyba
Doctor Skyba is always on time for my visit or close to it. He is never rushed. He allows me to talk and ask questions. He is attentive. He is patient and caring and allows me to have input in my care. He makes me feel valued.

Kind and caring docctor
Dr. Skyba was on call one day when my regular doctor was off and I needed to see someone. I found him to be very professional, gentle, and truly caring, traits that are getting rarer these days as doctors are more concerned inputting everything on their laptops than listening to the patient. He is down to earth and takes time with you and thoroughly answers your questions.

First time visiting Dr Skyba I was impressed with his approach to medicine, nutrition and health. He is not a doctor that just prescribes medicine he seems compassionate and in it for the long haul.

This is the first time seeing this Doctor and the last time. I have been going to this facility for almost 7 years and have never had a problem with any of the doctors there until today. Dr Skyba II was very rude, sarcastic and condescending. I left the office confused, frustrated and almost in tears.

He was rude, judgmental. I found out my diagnosis because the pharmacy told me my prescription was ready to pick up and I found out I needed diabetes medication. He has no bedside manner. The staff was unprofessional. I had to schedule multiple appointments because they cancelled certain tests (after I had submitted samples) and then made me do them again. Absolutely horrendous treatment. I left my old doctor's office entirely because of his behavior.

Very professional and easy to talk to. He explained things very well. I will continue to see Dr. Skyba yearly for my physicals and would recommend him to my family and friends. He also speaks Ukrainian and can communicate with his Russian and Polish patients. I saw this as he was speaking to another patient in the hallway that needed assistance.
