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.

As I have told Dr. S and his staff, I am not used to being sick. Now that I am I am struggling to adjust. Everyone has been very helpful.

Poor bedside manner. Abrasive. Didn't trust him.
Was assigned to Szawaluk after visiting the Christ Hospital ER for hypertension. From the first office visit, I felt like I was being talked down to. Didn't listen to me. Wouldn't answer the simplest of questions. Other physicians have remarked that the meds prescribed by Szawaluk were wrong. After two years of driving over an hour for office visits that consistently made me feel uncomfortable, I asked to change my care to another physician.

Dr. Szawaluk was friendly and explained everything very well. He listened to me and spent quite a bit of time getting to know me and my history. Before he came into the room, he acquainted himself with my medical history. I liked him very much and felt very confident in his medical advice.
