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.
First review a couple years ago as a new patient:“Excellent & clean & professional, yet friendly facility, staff & doctor! Loved it! Will be back! ??????“

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shidlofsky?
Dr S. is great. But his office staff is incompetent. The lady that did the benefits verification kept telling me my copay doesn't take effect until my deductible is met. I told her that was wrong but she refused to listen and just hanged up. I called my insurance United Healthcare and they said that is incorrect and the office visit copay is always correct no matter the deductible as copay is not dependent on your deductible. What the lady was talking about and she had her terms confused was co-insurance which is what takes effect when you meet your deductible. Not only was his lady incompetent but unwilling to listen when she was incorrect. Staff needs to get trained. His is their specialty but they can't even get their insurance terms down. Staff is super unprofessional.
