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 Szczodry is exceptionally knowledgeable and he listens to his patients. I would recommend highly him to anyone with a spinal issue.

Dr. Szczodry is the best. I have been a patient for years now and I would never see anyone else. He has a great personality and explains everything in detail until your comfortable. If you need a doctor in his field go see him. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Carful and supportive !
I was somewhat shocked to find out about an ongoing problem with my neck however I am very thankful that Dr. Szczodry did a thorough examination at the time of my initial visit. The bad news is that I will be having surgery soon. The good news is that the problem was found and it will be addressed soon !

Yes I would recommend Dr Szczodry. I was pleased that he wanted to try therapy first to heal my back and then only if necessary GP to the shot and surgery only as a last resort. He is ver considerate and easy to talk to. His staff was also very kind and helpful.

We met Dr. Szczodry at Shriners Hospital. He is a local expert in pediatric spine! Dr. S has great approach to kids. He turned my daughter from being very stressed out about the visit to saying that she just met the nicest doctor ever! Although my child does not need surgery, I heard throughout the hospital as well as on various internet forums that he is a miracle maker as far as getting kids spien straight. I am so glad we got to meet him!

My mom had her surgery in February 2019. Now 8 months later she couldn't be happier with the results. Before the surgery she couldn't walk without pain meds and the possibility of a wheelchair in near future if things keep progressing. But after a 9 hour surgery with Dr. Szczodry having 18 screws in her spine, a lot of therapy and God's providence watching out for her I can honestly say she is a new person. Through presurgery, surgery and after care Dr. Szczodry and his team have done an amazing job. Thanks Dr. Szczodry for giving my mom a better quality of life!
