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.

Dr. Glowacki always arrives with the latest lab results and their conclusions. She is thorough and can answer any questions I have.

Follow up
Early on, Dr. Glowacki had me do extensive lab work to determine the extent of my Kidney failure. She said that her goal was to slow the decline of my kidney function. After about 8 months we have achieved that goal. I love her bedside manner. In addition she noticed I had severe foot nephropathy and discussed with me the actions I had taken so far to try to ease the pain. I advised her that I had a Neurologist and was under their care. So far my success with that practice has been limited. Dr. Glowacki showed a real interest in helping me. She advised me during my previous follow-up that if I didn't start to get some success in pain management she would help me find the help I need.I advised her that not many physicians, including my PCP, take any interest and have relegated me to a PA or Nurse Practitioner. She said that was of concern to her. I appreciate Dr. Glowacki seeing me and giving me a 'doctors' advice.

Initial visit. Talks fast (not a bad thing) direct, no nonsense. Seems to be very knowledgeable. Explains things in understandable terms.. Takes quick action to analyze the situation and begin an action plan.

Excellent Care
I’ve been seeing Dr. Glowacki for nearly 10 years. Sometimes I get frustrated with office procedures. However, when it comes to Dr. Glowacki herself, I am extremely pleased with her service and feel that she has done an excellent job of helping me to maintain kidney function for as long as I’ve had it.
