Patient Reviews

  • "First, I made an appointment with Dr. Staszewski and get put in a room after having my blood drawn and in comes a PA I explain how ive been feeling and he went to talk to Dr Staszewski comes back and says the doctor doesnt feel you need anymore scans and that my issues should be addressed by my primary. Well first of all not once did the doctor come into to see me to tell me this and if i make an appointment with a specific doctor i want to see that doctor. For 3 months I have received phine calls from this office telling me i’m due to see the doctor so i finally make the appointment and i dont get to see the doctor I scheduled with. I just feel making this appointment was a waste of time and MY money because yes I have to pay for this visit that i didnt get to see the doctor I had the appointment with!! Not coming back cause i’m tired of the money grabs…"
