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.

Horrible
I had a liver biopsy on September 16th 2024 the day after I was having some trouble breathing. Went to the ER, mistake and ended up with this Dr. I can only say if I were bleeding to death and he was the only one that could see me I'd go to another hospital and hope I don't die on the way. Condescending, dismissive, anxiety, all in my head. Anxiety would have made sense the day of the procedure not after. If I could give him no stars I would. Avoid at all cost. Rude, superiority complex. I will never not check the ER to make sure he isn't working. I wouldn't trust him to take care of my dog let alone a human being.

Terrible experience
Dr. Imensek was extremely condescending and berating. I was unable to completely describe the cause of my visit before being cut off and told I was having anxiety. There was no sense of bedside manner. I feel that my quality of care was negatively impacted by the lack of thorough assessment. I was never asked about medical history, current medications, or allergies. This all was concerning considering medications were ordered and prescriptions were written. The medication prescribed is something I am already taking except in a lower dose which is not effective for me. The lack of rapport and quality care were unnerving. I would never allow this doctor to care for me or a loved one again. I would suggest seeking care from anyone but Dr. Imensek.

This was the worst ER experience I’ve ever had. I told this doctor that I felt as if it was more than what he diagnosed me with. Everyone knows their own bodies and if I requested further lab testing because I felt what he stated what was wrong was inaccurate. I asked this doctor more than once and he stated that it was at his discretion and I should visit a heath department. First of all you work everyday (8-5) and I have no time for that. I came to the ER because I felt this was an emergency.

Stay away from this doctor! He diagnosed me with anxiety (due to hurricane, he said) for a red dot I had in my arm that a week later my primary doctor said it was a bite from who knows.. an insect or so causing my reaction in my arm that scared me for a bit so that is why I went to ER. This doctor never checked my pulse. blood tests NOTHING!!! He showed up and assume what I had based on what the nurse on shift told him when she asked at my arrival. I doubt he earned a real degree.

Lakeland Regional Hospital ER 4/15/17. My husband and I have never experienced anyone as rude and uncompassionate as this doctor. I've never given a review before but I feel like I need to warn others.
