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 had received 7 broken ribs from a work injury. He only took 1 xray said your fine go back to work no restrictions. Did't care or even look at where my pain was located. He left the network found a Great Dr. He said I had to have surgery due to torn cartilidge that Dr. Wizorek wouldn't look at. Bedside manner is non exsistant.

As far as as rating him as a surgeon I choose to think he was very capable.?. As a patient I have to rate his ability to explain and answer questions as non existent. He rudely refuses to answer email inquiries, which certainly is a MUST for a patients well being. Very blunt and could care less attitude. Unfortunately his reception staff has the same attitude.
