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 Sukineck is the BEST
Dr Sukineck always refreshes his review of your health profile carefully monitoring anything that could be concerning. He is thorough and I rely on him to keep me as well as can be expected. Great staff. He wouldn’t have it any other way. Pleased to be a patient of his. Great guy.

I really enjoy going for my check up. However, every time I go, the nurse uses the automatic blood pressure cuff and it always is to tight. She processed to do it 3 times on the same arm within 5 minutes to try to get a better reading. When asked to do manually she says she can’t. She processed to tell me, that’s not how her doctors office do it. I was very disappointed. However, Dr. Sukienik is great and always on top of your care. Would 10/10 recommend him as a doctor, just concerned with his nurse. The check-in staff and check-out staff was also great.

I setup an appointment with this doctor a few months ago after some good reviews online. Today (three days before my initial appointment as a new patient), I received a call from his office saying that the doctor cannot accept me as a patient anymore because I haven't been vaccinated against COVID. Apparently it doesn't matter that I may have a reason for not being vaccinated (medical reason, had COVID already, etc). The office didn't even ask about this...I was just told that I cant be a patient unless I am vaccinated.

Disappointing. I had my physical 10 months ago and have had 3 more appointments since with Dr. Sukienik. That is 4 appointments in a year. My specialists require 3-4 appointments in a year. As a “vulnerable, high-risk individual” under 65, I would be able to get the Covid vaccine sooner with a doctor’s note indicating I have autoimmune issues. When I called up to request a note, I was told I had to “go in for an appointment and I need to keep up with my appointments better.” I questioned this and was also told that because I take medications I had to go in more. To clarify, the medications I take are prescribed by specialists whom I follow up with as well. I am not given any medications or refills by Dr. Sukienik. I think 4 appointments in 10 months is enough to grant me this request. Noteworthy, when I was in there last, I was treated poorly. The nurse refused to wear a mask. When I asked her to please wear a mask, she got angry and said she felt fine.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sukienik’s for about a decade now and highly recommend him. He has wonderful bedside manner and truly “listens” to his patients. He has cheered my accomplishments and listened to my issues and fears with concern. He spends the time needed to answer all questions and doesn’t rush out of the room, which I know some other doctors can do. There can be a wait time to see him, but that’s often because he’s spending so much individualized attention to his patients.
