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.

A Saint of a surgeon

Dr. Wiatrek was just fantastic. I went in to get my infusion port removed and she recommended against it, since I was about to Cuba for two weeks. She was exactly right with her advice. I would have had a hard time with an incision in Cuba given the heat and level of activity. Because of her sage advice, we had a great trip and I am very grateful to her for that. She also referred me to a physical therapist which will help me a great deal. Thanks a million, Dr. Wiatrek.

Totally professional and caring doctor
She always makes me feel like she really wants to see me. She is very busy, but takes the time to have conversation with me and still does a thorough examination. She is an outstanding surgeon and I most highly recommend her as an oncology surgeon.

A professional caring surgeon
Dr. Viatrek is one of a kind, always looking for the wellbeing of her patients. Nancy (if my memory serves me well....), her nurse, is taking a great care of you as well. A great team!!!Without any doubt, Dr. Viatrek is one of the best.

She’s the BEST!
I’ve had several visits with Dr. Wiatrek prior to and after surgery and I think she is the absolute best. She takes her time with patients to ensure that they understand what their treatment will entail. Her follow-up visits are wonderful, too, as she keeps a close check on how her patients are doing.

Great Experience
"Very" knowledgeable and experienced. Personable/Down-to-earth. Throughout the whole process – diagnosis, appointments, surgery and follow up, I felt like I was the the best hands possible. She may be running behind schedule at times due to volume of appointments, but it's worth it.

Dr. Wiatrek
Dr. Wiatrek both performed my breast surgery, but also inserted and removed my port for my chemotherapy. She kept me informed and listened carefully to my concerns. In addition, she was funny and easy to talk to. This may not seem important, but when you are going through cancer surgery and treatment, believe me it makes a difference. Her staff were always engaged and helpful.

Finest Work and Really Cares
Dr. Wiatreck and staff went out of their way to make sure that my mother-in-law was cared for. They took a very difficult situation and made us feel supported through the whole process. Though I never wish cancer on anyone...if you have to deal with it and need surgery Dr Wiatreck and her team are the way to go.
