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.

He is an excellent doctor and is willing to take time to listen

Just started seeing Dr. Prokopchak about a year ago. After a negative Nuclear Stress Test, Dr. Prokopchak thought it best I have an angiogram with our family history. I had to have a stent put in. I doing so, I observed superb team work in the lab. Unfortunately, our family genetics has us predisposed to CAD. Dr. Prokopchak was able to switch my medications to get my total Cholesterol down from the 175 range to the 125-140 range. Hopefully, this will prevent a heart attack and future stents.
