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.

Condescending
My Son has been sick for over 3 weeks and this was his second trip into urgent care seeking help. My son tried to explain to the Dr that he was on the prescribed antibiotics twice and was feeling no better. He was looking for answers as to why he was no better and maybe needed a stronger antibiotic. He proceeded to tell my son he wasn’t resting (how would he know that), repeated the same basic test again, and prescribed steroids. My son was walking out the door and Dr. Said, “let me know when you find a cure for the common cold”. I guess he didn’t feel my son was sick enough to be in urgent care. BTW my son is still sick and we are looking for a new Doctor. Shame on him for treating a patient who is Sick so rude and disrespectful. I’ll never go back there again.

Only good for the ER
I think he's good at identifying critical issues, but not at the root cause or giving proper directions. I came in to the ER due to severe constipation that I could not even eat. He told me to drink more water and eat more fruits and veggies. I stared him in the face and said, "that like telling a vegetarian to eat more." He should have known at that point, it could not be my diet and it must be some other condition, but he didn't care. Go to a GI, he said. Wow, not a doctor I would recommend!!

Told me how good he was, not what was wrogn with m
saw him at urgent care, spoke 99% of the time and listened maybe 1%. Gave me test results before running a test (how??) then had the test run, and seemed to blame me for the mix up. Spent time explaining how amazing he was and how he ran tests others wouldn't (nurse said he ran the basic intake tests). Severe pain in both arms and legs, and sent home with "take ibuprofin". 3 days later I am worse, can't get out of bed... going to see my primary later today... typing this with 2 fingers cause my left hand is useless due to pain/soreness.

I took my wife to Urgent Care. She had the good fortune to be seen by Dr. Sendak, he was very concerned and professional regarding her condition, refused to let her leave without a cat scan. He diagnosed and prescribed various medications. 2 days later, she is feeling much better and the kidney stone has passed.

Went to urgent because I had an extreme sore throat. Without even examining me or looking into my throat, he told me I needed to come back and have a CAT scan or a scope done. Without even looking into my mouth! Rushed us out and basically was a waste of time. Just received the bill for his services - $217 for a visit where he did NOTHING. Summit Medical Group should dump this guy.

Dr. Sendyk was professional, very interested in what my symptoms were and extremely knowledgeable about the disease and treatment. He made the anxiety provoking situation comfortable and was very reassuring. You would hope to see him in an emergency room for any ailment you might have

We Arrived at urgent care 15 minutes before it closed. Dr Sendyk told me he had 5 minutes to "cure" my daughter or we could chose between going to the ER or going home and dealing with it (acute asthma attack). Talked non-stop & didn't listen. Mostly about how great and smart he was. Called in the wrong prescription to the pharmacy but insisted the pharmacy had made the mistake. Notes on chart were contradictory and at follow up, pediatrician had to ask ME to clarify.

This guy moves way way too fast with patients, to the point where he seems reckless. When I saw him, he flew into the exam room, talked so fast that it was impossible to communicate with him, made a bunch of sloppy snap judgments, and then ran out. I don't feel like he did anything to treat my condition. Stay away from this guy!!!
