Dr. Michael Pietak, MD

Dr. Pietak is a knowledgeable and thorough neurologist who is especially skilled at managing complex cases. He takes the time to carefully evaluate symptoms, consider all possible factors, and provide a clear path forward. His ability to navigate complicated situations with patience and attention to detail makes him a valuable resource for anyone seeking neurological care. Highly recommended for patients with both straightforward and more challenging conditions.

I have been seeing Dr. Pietak for quite some time now based on his excellent reviews as a neurologist. He has walked me through every concern or probably repetitive question and always makes the time and patience for more, if necessary. I am confident in his abilities and trust him 100%.

Fairly new patient though he has good bedside manner and no doubt he knows his area of specialty, communication is very poor and takes several days to even received a response from the test results and I am usually the one having the initiate the message. I was told from first visit by him it would be 5 months before I could get a follow up appointment with him in person. When you are trying to figure out a concerning problem that is worsening and going through all sorts of test and MRI I wish he had time to be more responsive. Maybe Duke needs to have more Neurologists on staff

Don't wast your time showing up for your long awaited appt Or you could be like my daughter asking what just. Happened in there there is not enough space to say all of the things that was wrong with her appt with this dr

Dr. Pietak is exceptional. He is brilliant, patient, and really cares about the people he treats. I feel like a person, not just a diagnosis. I feel so fortunate to have him managing my care!

Well mannered and shows concerns about the problems that are occurring with his patients. Doesn't rush you during the exam. Returns phone calls witg resolution when problems are happening at home.

Dr. Pietak is absolutely the least patient-care centered doctor I have ever met. He rarely looks up from the screen to talk to you, is constantly in a hurry, made me feel like a chart number not a person, and made me feel like I was "faking" it. Such a horrible experience after having to wait over 8 weeks for an appointment. He then said he wanted to see me back in 6 weeks, but the next available appointment was another 8+ weeks away.
