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.

Longterm treatment and surgery
Dr. Homicz was a Pro from start to completion of year long treatment plus complicatedsurgery and follow up. So grateful and pleased that I was served by him and his staff.

Arogant.
The doctor steps into the exam room; first thing he says is "What do you want?" I told him what I was there for and was treated like I was an intrusion

I also wanted to add that not only did Dr. Homicz do an excellent surgery for my dear mother in removing all of the tumor, but the graft on her face healed so well, that you can hardly notice it at all. The oncologist was impressed with the results also!

I was hopeful when I went to see Dr. Homicz, as a friend of mine had seen him for her daughter's ailment. He seemed gracious enough, initially, upon meeting. I was having some growths looked at on my thyroid. After having x-rays taken he offered to clean my ears, which I was grateful for. As he began cleaning, I felt pain because of his rough manner. At first I winced and told him that what he was doing hurt. He continued to clean and continued to hurt me. I yelped out. I am from a generation where you "take it". I was frozen. He continued with the second ear and I kept taking his rough manner. I finally got it, after many months. I finally realized I don't have to take this type of treatment and that it wasn't "my fault". Recently, I had an exam at my doctors and I told her what had happened. She then checked my ears and told me I had scratches in both inner ears. I I will never go to him again.

I am very happy that I was able to have Dr. Homicz treat me. I had squamous cell carcinoma in two areas of my face that needed to be removed. The growths were quite large and I was very worried about scarring on my face. Dr. Homicz met with me twice before the surgery and answered all of my questions. The surgery went well and his stitches were excellent. My scars are there but minimal because of his good work.

He is never on time (40-50 min) behind schedule. Doesn't seem to be very caring
