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.

Best doctor
Dr. Vacek was my primary doctor until his move to Texas. I miss him so much! He's the best doctor I've had in all my years and I'm 68.

10 years with Dr. Vacek
Dr. Vacek has been my personal physician for over ten years. He always makes time, cares deeply, keeps up with the latest developments (good and bad) in medicine and advises as much as he treats. Great doctor.

Dr. Vacek was my doctor in the emergency room. From the moment he introduced himself, he was easy to talk to and listened earnestly to me so I could give a full explanation of what was going on. He took my concerns seriously and communicated well. He was thorough in investigating the cause of my symptoms, and worked swiftly to complete the necessary tests and treatment to get me feeling better as soon as possible. He has a kind bedside manner and it was obvious to me that he truly empathizes and cares about his patients.

Always gives thoughtful consideration to any problem. Has been proactive if lab work or ct scan will clear up questions but has given option of waiting also.

When I was a patient of Dr. Vacek, he ordered a Cologard test in lieu of a colonoscopy that was not covered by my insurance. I now have to pay a bill for $650.

I went to see Dr. Vacek about a sinus infection. He prescribed an antibiotic that the pharmacist found to have an interaction with one of my heart medications. The pharmacist called Dr. Vacek for a recommendation for another medication. I left multiple messages with Dr. Vacek with no reply. After two days passed, the nurse called and said that Dr. Vacek stated that if I had a problem with a drug interaction then I could take half the dose of the antibiotic. Super bad medicine!
