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.

Horrible customer service
Timothy Syperek was very unprofessional didn’t explain anything. His staff was very short and rude. It was an overall unpleasant experience and situation. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor under any circumstances. Day of surgery pharmacy called to advise they couldn't reach anyone in the off to give the codes required to fill the prescription they doctor office called in for pain. I called the emergency line left several messages- never returned any of my calls to this day (8 weeks later) ended up having to pay full price 2 days after surgery in order to be able to pick up the medicine, due to the doctor office not returning my calls or CVS request.Doctor never even came in to see me or my family member before or after the surgery to see if we had any questions or to advise how the surgery went.Extremely bad customer service, neither him or his nurse really listen to what you have to say.

Worst Doctor ever.
He messed up my foot. Now I can barely walk and in pain. This doctor is very disrespectful, doesn't care about his patients just doing it to make money. I wished I never had a bunion surgery

Surgery is not the only option
Offered no other options. Only saw him 10 minutes at initial visit, briefly before procedure then not again. Ever I am now only working part time, no health insurance and in need of a 3rd corrective surgery that I can't afford and have no health insurance due to not being able to work full time

Never had a surgeon who acted like him
He is arrogant and does not really listen. He hears what he wants to hear. I have had the misfortune of many surgeries and NEVER before had a surgeon who did not bother to check on me while I was in recovery and tell me how things went. When you go in for an appointment it's the same and I do not know why you have to wait at least an hour for your appointment, sometimes two. The whole experience left me feeling like he is just in it to do surgeries and does not really care about anything else. I TOLD him I did not want more metal in my body but he did it anyway.

I have had the best experience with Dr Syperek.
The treatment from the very first day was great. He explained the procedure I was having and the what the instructions would be for the weeks ahead. I am now able to walk on my foot and no pain at all. So glad I had Dr. Syperek fix my foot.

Worst doctor ever
I wouldn’t even consider this man a doctor. He doesn’t understand the basics of medicine, nor does. He understand the oath he took to get his license. He has left a family member, crippled and unable to walk. Do not trust this man at all if I could, I would have his license revoked

Doctor’s appointment
Dr. Timothy Syperek was very unprofessional didn’t explain anything. He was in a rush without asking if we had any questions. His staff was very short and rude. It was an overall unpleasant experience and situation. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor under any circumstances. Nonetheless, I was extremely disappointed.

Either we had a significant misunderstanding or he owes me a huge apology. He knows what is going on but is not communicating with me. Still leaving it to his staff. I have lost all respect for him. I will be compliant until cleared from this procedure and then will ask my primary care provider to refer me elsewhere. So disappointed. I had heard wonderful about him prior to coming to him in the first place. Maybe he just does not like me.

Very Grateful To Have Found Him
He is kind and deserving of respect for his honesty, trustworthiness and quality of care. He is rather quiet for a doctor but I am respectful of that because we are not all the same. I had bunion surgery today and he did an excellent job and I appreciate that so much. I am having absolutely no pain and I plan to follow his after care directions very closely.

Repaired another Drs work
I found Dr Syperek through another Drs referral but I'm so glad I did! Due to compression injuries from a drastic fall, I've had to go through a couple dozen foot surgeries. Ultimately my fight foot was fused but I was still having unusual pain with it. When I told Dr Syperek about it he not only one exactly what I was experiencing but explained to me what it was, why it was done that way and then said that he would fix it. And he did!! There were no complications (I've experienced many in the past). The recovery was fast and simple! Of course I knew I needed to follow God recovery instructions explicitly to avoid any complications (I learned the hard way, but also had Drs who messed up) and that's what I did Together we made the best of what happened to me feet. For that I'm eternally grateful.

As a type 1 diabetic, I have been treated by professionals for my condition and its side effects for close to fifty years. While I have encountered questionable medical people Dr. Syperek is absolutely one of the most proficient, cordial, and thorough Doctors practicing today. One doctor who shall remain nameless out of common decency was ready to amputate half of both feet. This was when I put my foot down (no pun intended) and demanded a more patient-friendly doctor. My list was long of potential physicians but gratefully shortened with one visit to Dr. Syperek. This man understands the psychological as well as the physical torment often besetting the patient. His every effort is with the kindness one would want in working with my situation. If there is someone who believes there is a better doctor for working with the ravages of diabetes I'd like them to meet Dr. Syperek. In my opinion, they would stand a distant second to this marvelous medical professional. God bless him.

I became his patient in 2017. My first appointment was not with him but instead with one of his many residents. The first time I laid eyes on Dr. Syperek was the day of my surgery for less than 5 minutes. My surgery was in December 2017 and after the surgery, I did everything that I was told to do: knee scooter, then I had the boot and finally after many weeks I was able to use gym shoes only. I went to physical therapy every week. But during all this time, I was in pain. I went back several times to the doctor but I only saw his residents - never him. I was told by the residents that my pain stemmed from a nerve where they showed where it was. The pain was never in that area and I told them and showed them every time where the pain was. At the 8th visit, my husband came with me and demanded to see the Dr. Syperek. He saw me for less than 5 minutes made a diagnosis and ordered x-rays. As fast as he came in, is as fast as he left. I was never told what the results were of th

I was referred to this office by my primary caregiver. After seeing Timothy. He told me that I needed to go have an MRI. They gave me a list of places to go which were in the same group just in different areas. I go and have the MRI. Now I'm getting bills and then finding out that they sent me to someone who is not in my network. I felt like them being in my network they were sending me to someone who was in my network. Very unprofessional and left as it was my fault. I do not recommend.

My spouse had a terrible accident and suffered multiple fractures which resulted in a infected wound. We were offered amputation after a failed surgery by someone else. Dr. Syperek was able to clear the infection and go back to fix the fractures to the point mybwife could walk again. We are so grateful for his kindness and willingness to not give up on such a difficult case.

I saw,Dr Syperek for the first time today. have been in considerable pain with my foot for 2 weeks now. I am by nature not very trusting and a little cynical. I found Dr Syperek to be very knowledgeable and professional. He patiently explained the anatomy of the problem and answered my questions, and presented alternative TX options. He then took an ultrasound of my foot and gave me a shot, with good results. My pain level has deceased to a 3, from an 8. Thank you Dr Syperek! So far, so good.

My mother hurt her foot about 5 years ago and it sent her into early retirement. Since she was a woman who had worked her whole life and now could no longer walk so her health got worse and worse. She had several strokes and then was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2014. After the exhausting ordeal of getting her Medicare going I thought if I could get her in to see a podiatrist maybe we could get her walking again so she wouldn't be so depressed. At first she could get around with a walker but ev
