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.

I finally feel taken care of again
My doctor retired years ago. I have been to a few doctors since and resigned myself to accepting substandard-standard care as the inevitable. I actually once went to a doctor who after I spent over two thousand dollars (out of pocket) in testing with no answers, threw his hands up and said, 'I guess Western Medicine has failed you.' Then I found Dr. Pekarovics. She is kind, caring, concerned, knowledgeable, thorough, takes a wholistic approach and is a forensic thinker. She approaches all concerns with determination to try to find solutions and explores several directions to do so. As opposed to many doctors who I have seen, she does not dismiss them. And sometimes, a simple vitamin shot is all you need! Unfortunately, not all problems have answers or solutions, but she is not deterred in trying to find them. I am so fortunate and grateful to have found her. And as a bonus, her office staff: Louis, Terry, Kata, are all wonderful.

New patient, thyroid issue
Very friendly staff and my wait time was short. Dr. Pekarovics was very thorough with my exam, had great information and at the end I felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely be returning.

The best doctor I’ve ever seen
I cannot thank Dr Pekarovics enough for my weight loss mission. I have a thyroid condition, among others that no other doctor had diagnosed me with. This doctor ordered so many tests for me, I was impressed the first time I met her. I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt the need to with Dr Pekarovics bec I truly feel she deserves credit for being an amazing physician. Her attention to detail, compassion and great bedside manner make her who she is- a wonderful doctor whom I feel blessed to have met!

Dr Susan Pekarovics
Telehealth
She is the most honest, sincere, caring doctor I know. She has helped me so much with my diabetes. I have lost over 50 lbs since I’ve been coming to her. Other doctors said I was border line diabetic but she did more research and discovered I was actually a diabetic. Thank God she came to my rescue. She is the best. All these years I could never figure out why I wasn’t loosing weight until I saw Dr Susan. She is the best.

I wish there were more doctors like her.
I went to Dr. Pekarovics for Fibromyalgia. The doctor and staff make you feel very welcomed. She gave me a thorough physical exam, ordered blood work, and referred me to an rheumatologist. I feel she genuinely cares about my health. This was my second visit with her. I will see her again even though I have to drive 4 hours one way to do so.

Top-drawer doctor!
Dr. Pekarovics & her staff are very "caring people!" My husband & I drive 53 miles one way to the office, every eight weeks. My visit is worth EVERY GALLON! This provider takes notes & listens carefully. I Wish my high school students would have been so conscientious! I always have a chance to ask questions. If one solution to a health concern doesn't work, Dr. Pekarovics will find one that does. A refreshing experience!

Fibromyalgia
The office is exceptionally clean and elegant. Her staff are kind and on the ball. Dr. Pekarovics is generally a lovely person who appears to know quite a lot about fibromyalgia since she’s been treating it for a long time. This was my first visit so I was a bit nervous which turns me into a chatterbox. She was a kind and patient listener, seamlessly doing her exam of me and writing notes while still listening. I learned new facts about the fibromyalgia she confirmed I have and I am looking forward to being her patient while I recover from this nightmare I’ve been experiencing. I know it never goes away completely but with her expertise of years using the guaifenesin protocol I expect to recover my health as soon as practically possible. I also have a thyroid condition so her being an endocrinologist is a bonus. I feel blessed to be under her care.
