I really like Dr Dorchak but I was very upset with the length of time I had to wait. My appointment was at 2:30 and I arrived 15 minutes early. Five patients arrived after me and everyone was taken before me. I did not see him until after 4:00. A receptionist went to see when I would be called back and they said I would be called after the next person. After I was called back there was 3 other patients before me. Also, many of the patients were new patients and I have been a patient for over 2 years and had 2 surgeries.
