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.

I started seeing Dr. Pucyk December of 2020. I had just been released from the hospital where I had been treated for COVID . Never have I been on insulin but unfortunately that’s what COVID gave me. My sugars were through the roof! I felt horrible and I still needed to take care of my terminally ill 21 yr old daughter. Dr. Pucyk showed so much compassion and said she was dedicated to helping me to start to feel better.. it has definitely been a challenge to find out what works for me. I was thrilled the other night when I checked my sugar and it was 102! Last December my high was 625! Thank you so much Dr. Pucyk.

I've had Dr. Pucyk for many years and I find her kind and helpful. I've had thyroid cancer, which she's very knowledgeable about and always makes me feel better.

Dr. Pucyk has been extremely thorough and careful helping me control my diabetes. She is also warm, caring, and friendly. Too many specialists have rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches to disease, but Dr. Pucyk thankfully is not one of those--she listens well and is very responsive. I've had trouble controlling my morning blood sugar, and she has been excellent at helping me adjust to a new medicine. She also works closely with my primary care doctor which is a great help. I would highly recommend her to my family & friends.

I have type 1 Diabetes. I wanted to see a new Endo so I picked Dr. Pucyk. I'm also disabled due to a couple other medical issues which she never asked about. Her main thought track was that if I couldn't afford the insulin on my Medicare plan, then I should go back to work. She told me that 3 different times. If I do that I lose my disability and would make about as much as I do anyway. Then she prescribed for me a medicine that is only used for type 2 diabetics. It only works if you produce your insulin in some way. I did a peptide test a year ago and I do not produce any so the medicine would have done no good on top of it telling you not to use it if you are a type 1. I felt that she didn't listen to my concerns at all and was only in it push medicine and rushed me out of the office.

I asked Dr Pucyk if I could get a specific test done. She said "no, I want to diagnose you my way" did not listen, wrote me off. I went back to the family Dr., and told him I wanted the test done, even the family Dr, was very hesitant, but compiled. Guess what? The test came back positive. I called Dr. Pucyk to let her know the test was positive. And she wrote me off again. She is very incompetent. If I were you, stay clear, she wont listen to you. She doesn't do her job. Run!!!

My husband and I found Dr. Pucyk to be very helpful and willing to explain any questions we might have with her as our new Endocrinologist without our having to ask. She was very thorough, taking time with each of us, asking appropriate questions, and ordering appropriate tests. We were impressed with her ability and her manner, and are happy to have her as our new Endocrinologist!

I have been a patient of Dr Pucyk for several years. She is very caring and thorough. When she is with me, I have her full attention. She has been very patient in explaining my issues, and when something isn't working, she does not give-up, but she does her best to adjust my diabetes. I am grateful to her for her help and patience to me.

Every time we made an appointment to see the doctor. She always ran 45 minutes to an hour late you never ever expect to be seen on time ever. She doesn't even like criticism and she doesn't like to even adjust her time with her patients so that other patients do not have to wait anywhere from a half an hour to an hour for her. She is very caring but she does not care about the wait time of her patients and she doesn't care if you wait 20 minutes half an hour 45 minutes or an hour to see her our
