No wait, quick to see the doctor, staff was very friendly and personal. Doc cut straight to point, told me exactly what the plan was and sincere. It was first appointment with some simple surgery to follow and soon. Don’t have to wait months to get my problem taken care of. Heck, I could have probably had the hand surgery done next week but I wanted two weeks. Very please!

Was very thorough in my post op surgery concerns. Used anolgies for me to better understand what was going on. He gave me the time to speak and ask questions and listened what I had to say.

Dr Piorkowski is a great guy and surgeon. I haven’t come across another Dr that cares as much about his patients as he does. Not saying they aren’t out there, just my experience. Dr P has performed two procedures on me and both have significantly reduced my pain and improved my quality of life. He has a great staff and they all are awesome!
