Robert Poczatek, M.D.

Dr. P took time to explain things that I needed explanation about -He used a 3-D model of the spinal cord, and this really helped with my comprehension. It impressed me that he had patience and seemed to enjoy the presentation of the facts. I always am impressed by someone who enjoys the job. He was optimistic about my outcome with treatment, and this was based on a conservative opinion and his experience. So I was instantly relieved and hopeful for a good outcome- I came from Pell City to Birmingham and I can tell you the visit was worth the drive-

Very impressed ! I have not had a doctor in a while that was this thorough. Definitely will revisit

Dr. P addressed all my concerns on this visit. We will follow up after an MRI. Personable and responsive. Thank you

Despite running behind, he was able to quickly and efficiently give me all the information I needed to know what was wrong and all the things I needed to do as well as answer all my questions. Very down to earth, very kind, and respectful. Thank you.

Dr. Wilson was my doctor but has retired and I really hate to change doctors. But Dr. P has made this an easy transition for me. Thanks to him, we are finally figuring out what is going on with my nerve pain.

Passionate. Professional. Provided the details of the exam.

I never expected a specialist at this level to spend as much time. Ben Casey with Marcus Welby. True pro.

Very good doctor

It was very hard trying to get in touch with my doctor. I got a answering machine, and left my info, and stated the purpose of my call. I didn’t hear from anyone, so I call my local doctor and got a different number to call and got someone on the phone. This was two weeks later. Got an appointment, and arrived on time, but sat there for 1 hour. Other patients came in after I did and saw the doctor I was waiting to see. I went back to the reception window and told her, so she went to check, and I was then called in. My appointment lasted about 10 minutes. I had to drive for over 1 hour to the appointment. My wife was with me and helped me look for something positive from the visit. So I did.

Great experience. Worth the wait time.!!! Takes time with you. Great Doctor with great assistants!!!

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable!! An absolute pleasure meet!

Excellent personality

One of the best physician experiences I've ever had in my life. This is how it's supposed to be. Thanks a lot

Very friendly and knowledgeable.

He likes to talk a lot about many different things but doesn't stay on the topic of why I'm there. He seems knowledgeable but strikes me as being very ADHD and disorganized. He runs late often and keeps patients waiting for more than an hour. It seems that an early morning appt would not be this way.

Excellent physician He spends as much time as I need never hurrying

While the procedure was not pleasant, he was outstanding and made it much more bearable.

Very nice and easy to talk to. Takes time to explain what is going on and needed.

very thorough & helpful!

Amazing presence! Would definitely recommend!!!!

Waited an hour and a half to see the doctor & then was told they had not received a CT scan. Not in their group.

had to wait 1hour and 15 minutes to see him !!

Professional but down to earth. Make test pleasant by engaging in a good conversation. I felt very comfortable.

Very kind and compassionate. Best bed side manner.

Excellent bed side manners. He asked questions and answered/listened to my Concerns.

Enjoyed my visit. He was very cordial and interested in listening instead of telling.

I was not very impressed with my 1st appointment with this Dr. In order to get a more timely appointment I set the appointment at his Birmingham office. Soent 1 hour on the drive, my appointment was at 11am and finally left the building a little before 2 pm. I saw the Dr for a total of MAYBE 15 minutes. He apologized for my wait and explained they had mistakenly set up 2 appointments. Obviously my time is not important to the Dr.but this is what you get these days pretty much with the majority of them. You would think we weren't paying through the nose for their services in the 1st place. I was pretty much told the scans I was told bring were too far out of date to be of much g

Great physician who cares about his patients .

Dr was excellent! He kept me calm as I don’t like needles. He explained everything to the T. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

He is very professional and actually listens to you individual concerns and does not try to pre-diagnose before hand. A a very pleased with my care.

Dr. Poczatek is very friendly. He explains what he’s doing during the nerve conduction test and makes you feel at ease.

I had 11a.m. appointment was not called back until 12:00 waited in back 15 minutes before doctor came in and he was rushing. I had more questions, he stepped out to set up tests leaving the impression he was coming back, but he did not return.

Very professional, personable, and informative. Although my situation required another doctor's assessment, Dr. Poczatek explained why and assisted in making that appointment.

Dr Pocaztek was quick to get me in the very next day. He was familiar with the type of surgery that I had in 2004 in Atlanta, Ga. He ordered tests quickly to identify the issues. Other Orthopedic Physician in the area wouldn't even talk to me. It's very comforting that there are doctors in practice that still care to find out issues. Thank you Dr Poczatek

He's thorough, professional and he listens! I feel hopeful he'll find a diagnosis for these episodes I'm having!

Awesome doctor. Really cares about his patients. Visit was timely and efficient.

I was very satisfied with my visit.

Dr. Poczatek was very nice and funny! He talked to me throughout the entire appointment which helped distract from any discomfort.

Got a little off topic, but I appreciate his conversation while doing the testing. It helps to take your mind off being zapped.

I have been to Dr Poczatek several times over the past 10 years. I fully trust his advice.

Dr Poczatek was great. He was very personable and made me feel comfortable. We talked the whole time and therefore my mind was occupied and I didn’t even notice what was going on. I was very pleased with my visit.

I love how engaged, personable and informed Dr. P. Is. He takes his time and explains things on an understandable level and does so with a smile. That is a gift!

Dr. Poczatek is an amazing doctor. He really tries to find a solution to your problems instead of surgery.

Dr. Poczatek , has very good patient/doctor attention. He talks kind, answers questions ,listens and explains with patience.

Excellent doctor. Took almost an hour in consultation. He offered several options other than surgery to hopefully correct medical issue.

Dr. Poczatek is very friendly & easy to talk to. He explains all procedures & diagnosis fully. We like him a lot & would recommend him to anyone we know who is looking for a good, knowledgeable Dr.

Dr. Poczatek is the best, I only had one visit with him and he made it feel like I have been his patient for years. He is my Neurosurgeon, and I thank him.

Easy to talk to and helped me understand what may be going on with my back problems.

Really puts you at ease

He is the best. He reminds me of how old fashion physicians How they use to take care of their patients before they transformed unto doctors of medicine and not physicians taking care of the whole patient. Thanks so much

Dr. Poczatek was cordial and ask some questions about my issues. I wasn't sure he was as familiar with my medical history and what brought me to him. I would have liked more discussion on: (1) what the tests being conducted would reveal (2) what was the possible sources for the symptoms I was experiencing (3) was the numbness, etc. permanent. Perhaps these questions will be addressed at a later time.

Seems to be on top

Great doctor! Listen you

Dr Poczatek was very kind and very thorough. He explained all my results in detail with me and really took his time and did not rush through the appt as some MDs tend to do. I would definitely refer my friends and family as well as my work comp cases to him.

Very professional caring DR

I have been going to neurosurgeons for 40 years with my degenerative disc disease. I haven't in all these years meet a surgeon who is so knowledgeable and careing. His staff are the same. I highly recommended doctor Poczatec.

Not only did he conduct the test, he kept up a running conversation to help distract me. Grateful for that!

He enlightens me on my health which was so very HELPFUL 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

takes time to listen to you.actually cares about you.

He listens very well and has a friendly personality.

As always, a pleasure! I didn't even notice the discomfort of a nerve conduction study--Dr. Poczatek's engaging conversation is worth the office visit. His knowledge about so many things is amazing. His easy-going bedside manner puts me at ease, his dry wit keeps me chuckling. I would drive a long way to continue to have him as my doctor. Thank you!!

Dr. Poczatek always listens carefully to my symptoms.

Dr. P was pleasant and an excellent listener. I appreciated his desire to determine the root cause rather than going directly to a bandaid solution.

Dr. Poczatek was excellent. He listened to me, was very thorough and very knowledgeable. Within a few minutes, I realized I was at the correct place for my back problem.

Dr Poczatek it was a pleasure meeting you today! I was anxious about the procedure and you put me at ease immediately by explaining everything in advance and taking my mind off the test by taking about cooking 😊

Awesome dr.he really knows his stuff. Highly recommend him .treats you like a person, not a number.

Nice Man Listen to me, just ran a little late.

Excellent experience! MD was caring and concerned, as well as very professional.

Very friendly, knowledgeable

We had a very long wait in the waiting area and a long wait to be seen in the exam room. However, once he came in, he obviously had reviewed my husband's chart and MRI and was encouraging. We go back this week.

Friendly and waiting time wasn't long.

Very professional and helpful to resolve my pain issues.

Dr. Poczatek made me laugh during my testing which made the not knowing what was happening all the more tolerable.

He is very nice and pleasant and very concerned about the patient.

Super personality, yet very professional. The Receptionist was great and very cordial. I look forward to, and feel very comfortable being treated by Dr. Poczatek.

Dr. P is an excellent physician and listener. He pays attention and doesn't rush through your appointment.

visit went vey well

Dr. Poczatek was very professional, explained the procedures, discussed findings in terms I could understand. He was friendly & knowledgeable.

Fantastic bedside manner. Would highly recommend Dr. Poczatek.

He was highly recommended by my primary care doctor. Friendly. Thorough. Did not rush the appointment. Even called me personally with test results.

Dr. Poczatek was great the only negative comment is he was 45 late for my appointment. His description of what is wrong with was very informative and the plan to correct was very informative also.

Had to wait for an hour, 45 minutes past my appointment time but he was very apologetic. Great personality

Very pleased that he listened to me and made the recommendations to schedule MRI and a nerve testing to get a true picture of what’s going on with me.

Dr. P is one of the best back doctors I've been to. He is very nice and knowledgeable off all things pertaining to back/ spine issues.

He is so personable, very nice and friendly, makes you feel very comfortable.

This doctor is easy going, great spirit and knowledgeable in his field. He is a nice man. This was my first time seeing him and I was very comfortable and felt no pressure. He takes his time with each patient. My only concern was I waited in the exam room over 90 minutes and his staff never checked on me to tell anything. I felt like I was forgotten about. I feel as though someone should have came and told me, the doctor is with another patient we apologize for the wait. I waited 2 hours

Make sure that you understand everything he is doing to you and he takes the time and listen to you he really made me feel better I would recommend anyone that's having problem to go and see him great manners and he really cares about his patients

Just a quick meeting did not do anything

It was my first visit to Dr. Poczatek office and it was a very friendly and comfortable admiphire.

Dr. Poczatek has a great 'bed side manner'. He discussed what brought me to have this procedure done by him. He talked with me throughout the procedure. And before I left he discussed with me what the results of the procedure were. He also asked how soon I would be seeing the referral physician. I would see him again if needed, and highly recommend him for anyone requiring this procedure.

Dr. Poczatek is personable, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain your options. I feel privileged to have him as my physician.

Was so informative and caring. Very easy to talk with and felt finally something is getting done!

Very professional and nice. He did not rush the appointment and made sure that I understood what was going on and what the next steps would be.

The only complaint I have is the waiting is really long. I love Dr. P

Very personable and genuinely concerned about my mom’s condition. He was very kind and patient through the testing process. He went over the results and explained his opinion thoroughly.

Dr P is exceptionally personable , takes as much time as needed with his patients, and is thorough in his evaluation and treatment plans. As a health care provider myself, I highly recommended Dr P

One of the most personable doctors I’ve ever seen. Truly listened and took what I was saying seriously. He didn’t rush through my appointment and put me at ease. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

I mentioned to A friend on the way home that I felt good with doctor I saw and met and felt comfortable going forward with my back problem
