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. Maria Rapciak.
Dr. Rapciak plus the multidiscipline teams at Spectrum Health Lakeland Health literally saved my life. Within a short time of being admitted to the ER, I rapidly deteriorated to having Septic Shock Syndrome, which has a high mortality rate. Dr. Rapciak performed an emergent exploratory Laparotomy. I am alive now as evidence of her skill as a Surgeon. She made quick decisions. Obviously the staff: Anesthesiologist, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, ICU staff and other Physicians were also competent. Thanks to all under her guidance were amazing! Thanks to all for giving me a”second chance” to live my life. In addition Dr. Rapciak has an wonderful bedside manor.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rapciak, she is simply amazing and one of the most compassionate doctors we have ever met!! My husband was admitted to SCH and needed emergency gall bladder surgery and she was just assigned to us, so we had no idea what to expect. We felt so blessed to be given such a wonderful, qualified doctor who not only did an outstanding job with the surgery but so compassionate we felt like she was family!! We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a surgeon!!
