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 Kuchmak is so attentive and really listens to concerns. She takes the time to make sure her patients are heard. NEVER talks down and is very compassionate.

Useless
One of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. Keep in mind I’m a nurse myself and have seen and worked with many. She will do nothing for you especially if you have something really going on that needs to be diagnosed. It was a complete waste of time to see her. Wound up treating myself because she was such a poor diagnostician.

Not reliable office
My mom is 85 yrs old and on a blood thinner. She has an appointment in a few weeks but needs a refill on her prescription. The pharmacy has called the doctors office mom has called her office Thursday, Friday and no response. The pharmacy gave mom one pill on Thursday until her doctor phones in her prescription. Well, as of Saturday now Sunday no blood thinner medication!!!This has happened before!!The office is a poorly run excuse for a medical office. Do not go.

NO STARS
She is good only for do the physical, once a year, if you call, because you need a fast appointment, if you sick, the answer is : GO TO EMERGENCY ROOM. She is never available for her patients. Her conduct with her patients are ridiculos, unprofessional. She scare about sick people, I don't know why she is a doctor? The Northweel , has to think about the professional them hide. The experience I have with her is very bad.

Dr Kuchmak
I have seen Dr Kuchmak numerous times over the last 2 years. Every visit is thorough and complete. Dr. Kuchmak is a very good listener and has a way of explaining things that make it easy to understand. She rates top notch in my book and she will be my Dr for life

Waited 6 months for a dr appointment and they cancel on me less than a week before my appointment. They won’t even reschedule me for another couple of months. This is unprofessional and ridiculous. Clearly doesn’t care about her new patients.

I feel so fortunate to have discovered Dr. Kuchmak. She is such a wonderful doctor. She has a great bedside manner. She is friendly and engaging, and you never feel rushed through your session with her. She takes her time to explain any and all questions and concerns you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Kuchmak. You will be in good hands.
