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.

Dr. Macielak repaired my knee after a catastrophic knee injury suffered while playing football back in 1989. I now run a 5K almost every day with no pain. He did a phenomenal job. Great surgeon and an even better person. I could not recommend him mroe.

Dr. Macielak butchered my leg. Had an emergency room surgery to remove a piece of metal removed from my calf six years ago. Was seen on the night of incident, was scheduled for surgery the next morning. Instead of cutting in the precise spot where x-ray showed the metal, he cut across the muscle grain from the entry wound until he found the metal. Severed sensory nerves to my foot. Still have muscle problems and nerve issues with my foot. Would never recommend him to anyone i care about.
