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.

Outstanding and caring
She explained everything very carefully to me prior to be choosing a double mastectomy. Everything at Michigan medicine was top notch.

A wonderful, sweet and caring surgeon. I had my surgery recently and it came out great, she was one of the few doctors that was willing to try a lumpectomy as opposed to a mastectomy. I can’t say enough good things about her, I highly recommend her.

I can’t say enough about this wonderful surgeon . I went to her as a 2nd opinion , she sat with me and my family and went over every line on all my reports and explained everything . She than did my surgery. One of nicest , calm encouraging doctors I have ever met. I am so thankful that I was lead to MSK and to her. She amazing!! My whole experience there was pristine the clerical/nursing staff are so organized in scheduling appts and keeping your records current. The Cate I received at the Josie Robertson Surgery Center was amazing..

Dr. Pilewski was wonderful, both as a surgeon and as a person. She provided me multiple options but also respected my final choice not to have reconstruction. The result was exactly what I asked for, and her calm demeanor helped me get through a very scary time. A year and a half later, I am just as satisfied. The work she did, the care she took--I strongly recommend her.

I feel very lucky to have had Dr. Pilewskie as the surgeon who performed my lumpectomy. She is extremely thorough, patient and had a lovely bedside manner while displaying much confidence and knowledge. ISloan Kettering is an amazing facility with a kind and patient staff.

Dr. Pilewski is everything you want in a surgeon. Patient, compassionte, and highly skilled! I would recommend her to anyone. She did a wonderful job on my lumpectomy. She is also down to earth and does not have The god complex. You won't be disappointed.
