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.

Highly Respected
I have been a patient of Dr Styka for over 30 years now. I have to admit I look forward to my 6 month check up. Dr Styka is very easy to talk to, and Very KNOWLEDGEABLE! She will explain everything in words I understand. The appointment is never rushed. She never ends the appointment till she knows I understand what is going on with me. She answers every question I have. The office Staff is very friendly and easy to make appointments with. I trust Dr Styka and her Staff when receiving a diagnosis or test results. Many of my Specialists say I am very lucky to have her as my Doctor.

Thorough and knowledgeable
Dr Styka is very good. She takes time explaining things and is very thorough. The office atmosphere is pretty shabby and out-of-date, but don't judge the book by the cover.

Dr. Styka saved my life. My carotid artery was almost completely blocked and my symptoms were confusing. Her staff found a surgeon, got me a visit and I had surgery a few days later with the doctor opening the artery that was almost completely blocked. Were is not for her, I would be dead. I've been a patient since 2010 when she saved my life and I would not go to any other doctor. Trust is number one and she has my complete trust. She checks everything to make sure your "whole" body is cared for inside and out. You are "not" rushed in and out like some doctors do and you can ask her any question and she will give you the best direction. Trust Dr. Styka with your life, like I do.

My 88 year old mother sees Dr. Styka and she has been very happy with the quality of care from Dr. Styka. She has a very kind and caring demeanor and spends quality time with her patience. It is a bonus that she speaks Polish considering my mother's English is limited. I do wish some of the staff were a bit more friendly.

Dr. Styka is one of the most caring and thorough Dr's that I have met. She has been treating my husband for about 7 months and treats him as though he has been her patient for years. She and her staff are very efficient about responding with test results and seems to work endlessly. When my husband was in Palos she stopped to see him late on a Friday night and a Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend Dr. Syka.

I am a home health care provider who first encountered Dr. Styka as the PCP for my patients. Loved her communication style and bedside manner enough to become her patient. Very thorough, provides enough time and adamant about latest standards and age related tests. Saturday hours and 1 hour appts for new patients? Unbelievable! I have and will continue to refer my patients to her.

Dr. Styka first cared for my Mother who had Alzheimer's. After seeing the thorough care and kindness she showed towards my Mother I became a patient. I have been a patient for 14 years. She is intelligent, compassionate and has an attention to detail. She is quite specific with explaining tests, scans and blood work results. She has empathy and truly cares about my well being. My questions are always answered in detail and explained comprehensively. Dr. Styka is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Styka has been my doctor for about 20 years now and I would never think of seeing anyone but her. She is very knowledgable, caring, attentive, and doesn't miss a thing as far as testing and diagnosing. She is confident at what she does and therefore has always made me feel at ease. She is very reassuring, pleasant, and a great listener. She addresses all your concerns and goes out of her way to help in any way she can. I know I am in great hands and would highly recommend her!

They don't make them like this any more. Dr. Styka is truly one of a kind - Attentive, thorough, patient, caring and compassionate. She cares about her patients tremendously and is always readily available to address every concern - during office hours and beyond (which is very rare). She truly goes the extra step with her patients - personally checking-in/following-up to make sure they're doing well. Her office hours make it quick and easy to make an appointments, as she is there Mon-Sat.

Dr. Styka has been my physician for over 10 yrs and I am completely satisfied with her care. Being a public health professional, I am very aware of the growing issues in healthcare so it is refreshing to know there are physicians that care for the whole patient. She works to make sure that you not only are aware of your test results, diagnosis, treatment, etc.., but understand them as well. Overall she is a very effective provider that finds physician-patient communication very important.
