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.

She is a bonafide Goddess!
I was treated with the GAE procedure for my knees. Google it, you'll be happy you did. Have bone on bone arthritis, with spurs. Very painful navigating stairs and sitting or standing, on a scale of 9 out of 10. Dr. Piechowiak and her team took time for a thorough initial consultation and were exemplary through the entire process. Near zero pain, save the initial momentary pinch of the catheter insertion.Several months later and expected residual pain from my severity of arthritis exists. No jabbing, just mild discomfort bending the knees, 1 maybe 2 out of 10. Got my life back!This procedure is repeatable, and a good longer term strategy vs knee replacement or cortisone or gel shot options. I highly recommend her and her team should you want to consider it.As for 'Goddess', yes, she really is that good!

Great team commitment
Very professional, committed teamwork. Entire group came in through snow storm-very unusual. Everyone was professional and cared about their job and very patient focused. Dr Piechowiak was very communicative the entire procedure and so I had minimal questions. Courtesy, friendliness, and very professional.

Prostate artery embolization
The front desk during check-in was very friendly. The nursing staff especially Chonta was very nice and friendly and made me feel at ease. Chonta did an excellent job with the checkout instructions and gave me a call the next day to see how I was feeling.Dr. Piechowiak was not rushed, very nice and friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend her ( five stars.)

Excellent Experience
I had a PAE. Staff were very polite and efficient. Dr. P was as well. She answered all my questions and did so in a professional and respectful manner, not condescending as many doctors are. This is my second experience with Dr. P and her staff and I recommend them very, very highly.

Dr. Piechowiak recommendation
The surgery was done with a minimum of discomfort. The wait time before pre op pre was reasonable. All staff were friendly, and willingly answered all my questions. I was encouraged to call if I had any further concerns once I was released.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient
Dr. Piechowiak is very helpful in describing what to expect during and after the procedure. She has a friendly but professional personality - on the day of my procedure she seemed to be a good leader of her support team. My procedure went as she described and I seem to be recovering as she said I should expect.

PAE PROCEDURE -
Dr. Rachel Piechowiak was gracious and welcoming when I met her, but this was preceded by her extraordinary, joyful, and talented staff (all of them but especially Christina, Shante, and Jennifer) who made me feel I was at home. Dr. Piechowiak, you and your staff work exceptionally well together, I am grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well-being. Thanks, Doc, for everything.

Great Doctor
Prostate Centers Reston gave excellent service for my procedure. Dr P explained everything and did great work, the assistant Doctor was great as was all the staff ( Christina, Shanty, Emily, Paulina and Christian) Everything went smoothly from starting the IV through the procedure itself. You were made to feel welcome and at ease. Post op the nurse checked on you on a regular basis. I highly recommend this Office and its staff
