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.

So Grateful for Dr. Mikes
My 62 year-old special needs sister developed lung and breathing issues that were debilitating. Visits to various doctors didn’t provide any clarity on the worsening problem and she was put on oxygen, 24 hours a day. After receiving a referral to Dr. Patricia Mikes, everything began to turn around. Dr. Mikes’ experience and excellent diagnostic skills isolated the problem and she created an individualized health plan for my sister. Dr. Mikes was very engaged, thorough and patient with my sister. Now, 18 months later, my sister is completely off oxygen (something that I never thought could happen) and her lungs are stronger than before she developed the issue. Our family is incredibly grateful to Dr. Mikes for her expertise and determination to help my sister improve her respiratory function and in turn, have a better quality of life. Her expertise, patience and plan of care exceededall of our hopes and expectations.

My Experience
I saw Dr. Mikes for a follow-up visit after a pulmonary embolism. I can't say enough about how impressed I was. She gave me her full attention, I never felt rushed, and she took time to answer all my questions. I felt like she genuinely cared about me and my situation. I have complete confidence in her. Thank you Dr. Mikes!

Dr. Patricia Mikes is an exceptional physician. She has deep specialized expertise and years of experience in her specialties that prepare her completely to diagnose and treat patients. Just as important is her ability to communicate -- listening, asking questions and explaining patient alternatives. She spends the time with her patients that is needed to understand and discuss options and risks. Patient care doesn't get better than this.

I visited Dr. Mikes for a second opinion one year ago. She was very thorough in examining me, reviewing the tests, and gave me the proper diagnosis and treatment. She is an excellent professional

My father was a physician, and I saw how many of his fellow physicians operated over the years. I can give her and her office staff an unqualified recommendation.

This is 1 on 1 caring, competent and thorough pulmonary medicine. Dr Mikes is thoughtful and expert at looking at me and my complete set of symptoms that were chronic for years. She took time to explain her plan and came up issues I hadn't even considered. We gradually worked through each issue. After one was managed we moved to the next and now I am a different person. This is the way a specialty doctor should approach every patient. When Dr Mikes thought I needed more attention to a given area outside of lungs, she referred me to another specialist. I feel so much better now that I have seen Dr Mikes and will continue to follow up with her.

I found Dr. Mikes to be an excellent physician, patient, interested in her patients, pleasant , and extremely competent. She gave me her total attention and time to talk about my situation without rushing me. She explained her diagnosis thoroughly, discussed various procedures that would help, explained which ones she wanted me to try and why. My voice, cough and breathing were better in a few days. I have every confidence in her. If you need a pulmonologist, Dr Mikes is the one you want.

Dr. Mikes is amazing . she spends as much time as you need, never rushing. She has, with minimal medication, been able to control my asthma. Her office staff is friendly and makes setting appointments very easy . I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mikes!!
