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.

Great Doctor
Dr. Kucharzyk is A caring knowledgeable doctor. He runs his office efficiently and is on time. He takes time to go over test results completely and answers all your questions. He has treated me for spinal problems and hip problems. I have confidence in him and he has a great positive attitude.

Dr Kucharzyk has a great bedside manner. He has a sense of humor and can be serious too. When he is having a bad day, he does not take it out on you. He listens to your concerns and thoroughly explains things to you. His nurses and staff are also very nice, friendly and helpful. I had trigger thumbs and carpel tunnel and he fixed them both. When one hand did not recover as quickly as the other he got help for me by sending me to a therapist he knew.

I tore the superior labrum in my right shoulder. Dr Kucharzyk said that these kind of tears don't always require surgery, but he recommended surgery to tighten up what was torn. I've had arthroscopic knee surgery before & this surgery was similar; 3 incisions and very minimal scars. That was 8 weeks ago & I'm currently in pt regaining my range of motion. Everything seems to be healing up well. As for his office & staff, they create a comfortable environment &are helpful&pleasant to interact with

I developed foot pain while I was visiting family in the area. Dr. Kucharzyk was recommended to me by family. He ad his staff squeezed me in very last minute. Everyone in the office was friendly. Dr. Kucharzyk diagnosed my problem and prescribed a non-invasive solution that ensured I would be able to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

Dr. Kucharzyk and his entire staff were amazing with my two year old son who fractured his collar bone. My son is extremely shy and a doctors office is the last place he wants to be. Dr. Kucharzyk put my son and myself at ease and even got a smile out of him. He answered all of my questions and assured me that my son would heal beautifully and in a few months we'd never even know he broke a bone. I am thankful for Dr. Kucharzyk and his entire staff. They treated my son like family.

Dr. Kucharzyk is very attentive, professional, and helpful. He always takes the time to explain imagining and injury details with so me so I understand what’s going on. He has been a great doctor for my orthopedic needs and my family’s. I would highly recommend Dr. Kucharzyk for your orthopedic needs. Great Dr., great staff, easily makes appointments, and lots of locations to choose from.

Performed traumatic back surgery on my father without fully explaining the risks and recovery this type of surgery would require. After my father went to a post operative rehab facility, Dr Kucharzyk did not check on him at all and now that my dad has been admitted to St Anthony's, he has not been here to check on him either. The surgery was 37 days ago, while I expected a very long recovery, I also expected better care. There are minimally invasive back surgery methods, please investigate

I would highly recommend Dr. Michael to any patient who is seeking positive results. After a knee injury (and seeing another physician for care ~ with less than favorable outlook) I was able to see Dr. Kucharzyk who was very thorough and I informative. I have never met such a compassionate and caring physician. After an in-depth assessment and plenty of patient education ~ I felt and knew I was on the right hands. After my surgery ~ I have never felt better. It's all due to a great physician.

My Daughter has a condition that isn't something you see everyday. We were referred to this Dr. by our pediatrician so we thought we could trust him. We asked how many patients hes ever treated with her condition and he stated a number that was completely unbelievable and when he saw our faces that we knew that was untrue he stuttered and tried to correct himself. I lost all trust in him right there. When a doctor lies about a simple question what else would he lie about.

I had back surgery from a Dr that didn't go well, leaving me in pain for 6 months. I found Dr Kucharzyk and within a week surgery was set up & I was feeling so relieved that everything would eventually be ok. Thank god, I found him because I thought I was going to use a cane for the rest of my life! That cane was gone the day after surgery!

It has two years since my spinal fusion and it has been a complete failure. My pain has never been worse and the weakness in my back and legs is debilitating. I feel I was rushed into the surgery and not informed about the possible long term effects. Never, never, never have spinal fusion surgery unless there is no other option and if you do have it get out of Hooterville and go to a Mayo type of facility. Horrible outcome!
