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.

Excellent Pain Specialist
I had suffered with great pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease which greatly limited my ability to enjoy my hobbies and an active lifestyle. I consider myself blessed to have found Dr. Melanowski. He changed my life. Dr. Melanowski asked thoughtful questions on my wellbeing and showed genuine compassion for my pain and confidence in his ability to relieve the pain. After thorough testing, he was able to properly diagnose my pain situation and knew the best plan for treatment. He treated me with Lumbar RFA and Cervical Steroid Injection. I had forgotten how wonderful it was to be pain free! I highly recommend Dr. Melanowski for his compassion, knowledge, skilled expertise, and determination to diagnose and successfully treat my spinal issues allowing me to enjoy life again, pain free. I would gladly rate more than 5 stars!

“Pain Management”. It’s a game and it’s very cruel
I’ve been seeing this Dr for 5 months! X-rays show I have degenerative disc disease bloodwork shows I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have requested an MRI multiple times due to a prior Pain Management I was at that no longer takes my insurance had me do yearly MRIs in those it shows I have bulging disc ,bone spurs, and narrowing of the spinal cord, I drive round-trip 2hr and 40 mins to see this guy literally-I mean literally have gotten ZERO treatment! I have got is a run around.. I’ve been shipped to physical therapy. I’ve been told to come down for an injection, I made it VERY clear I cannot have steroids, and that is all documented at the hospital injection was to take place. I told to assistant I cannot have steroids bc I swell. I was assured 3X NO Steroids was in this injection. LIE & waste day/gas/$ andI’m 5 months in! ! Next run around is July to a food allergist!?! my life consist of laying in bed rotating ice packs. Pain patients are treated so differently! It’s CRUEL!!

A surprise
The doctor looked at my history, asked questions and listened. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. He took his time and was overall just fantastic. I’m so glad that my other doctor referred me to him. I explained that I didn’t want to take any new medication, so it found an alternative without being upset about my decision nor did he try to convince me that taking medications is better. He is definitely a keeper. I have so many issues that I need all of my doctors to understand them so they can help me not hurt me.

Very Good
I accompanied my family member for a pain management consultation with Dr. Malinowksi. He was very thorough in his exam and care. He even called the next day to follow up.

Dr. Malinowski is an EXCELLENT and conscience doctor. His care for me is unsurpassed by any doctor I have ever had the pleasure of letting do my health care! I was living with severe lower back pain and Dr. Malinowski implanted the "VERTIFLEX" into L3,L4, AND L5 and it created a 75% pain relief which appears to be getting better every week. THANK YOU DOCTOR MALINOWSKI.

I saw Dr. Mark Malinowski for low back pain and after explaining my situation and informing him of all exams, MRI's and physical therapy I had received, he suggested that I might have spinal stenosis at which point I explained to him that my past doctors had already looked at that and found it not to be the case. Then I began to notice Dr Malinowski getting a little agitated with me and his attitude towards me was very obvious. Then he asked me if I trusted him and I said no because you are not willing to work with me. He immediately told me to have a nice day and walked out of the room. From the look on his face, it was obvious that Dr Malinowski was pissed. Patients should ALWAYS come first in any situation. Why he got upset, I had no idea. Needless to say, I was very confused and extremely upset. I thought he over reacted and should have at least talked with me about my distrust first before walking out on me so hastily. As far as I'm concerned, a doctor should NEVER just walk out!
