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. Stankus is amazing! He truly cares about his patients. He takes his time and listens to my concerns and has solutions. Office staff is super friendly and accommodating. Whenever I call someone answers on the 1st or 2nd ring!

Thorough knowledgeable and kind
Dr Stankus is very reassuring and explains everything in great detail, and in a very understandable way, is not rushed in the least and yet very efficient with time. He knew exactly how to treat my condition and he earned my trust in the very first visit. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Stankus has impressive educational credentials, and is fatherly and professorial in his demeanor. However, I wish today's doctors would be more investigative in ascertaining the cause of symptoms presented. It was through simple online research, and not an office consultation, that I was able to put a name to my condition. Also, as with many practices, there seems to be a protocol issue when phoning patients. For example, despite repeated requests from me to leave answers to my questions on my personal voicemail, they will only ask that you call the office back, setting the stage for playing telephone tag, a frustrating inconvenience. This needs to be corrected!

Dr. Stankus is a great doctor. He taks the time to really listen to and speak with you in order to ensure everything is understood. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He is actually the only doctor I could find in the area to treat my allergy condition.

Dr Stankus is great when it comes to his knowledge and time he gives you and the detailed explanations of your condition. He will keep trying different things until something works. The only complaint I have is how very frustrating it is trying to get results of your tests (labs, X-Rays, scans, etc). Have to keep calling and rarely get return calls when promised! Hard to get in touch with anyone, as the office puts answering service on before closing times. (Closed 3 days on weekend)

Wow, where do I start?? I enjoy my visits with the Doctor, nurses and staff. My grandma and son also see him. He is the only Doctor who has controlled my allergies and I recommend him to anyone suffering like I did!

I had dr. Stankus as a kid and he fixed my allergy problems so I decided to bring my son. I wasnt happy w the service. He wasnt able to be seen once a week from the get go because of the two offices m we would have an appointment and go in and nobody would be there so then my son would suffer. I ended up leaving and going to a different dr. He was retested and found hes allergic to way more then he was when he started w dr. Stankus. So the few yrs my son went and got shots were a waste
