Excellent care
My first visit with Dr. Poczatek was today, 7-8-26 and what a wonderful experience it was! He is a very kind, thoughtful and professional doctor. His expertise in Neurosurgical procedures is phenomenal. I highly recommend him to any and everyone.
Made the process comfortable and effortless.
Dr Poczatek was very kind and shared the nerve study so well. I appreciate his great knowledge and service today.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Dr. Poczatek today. He possessed superb bedside manners.
Great experience with this physician.
Dr Poczatek is the absolute best! I had horrible anxiety over the nerve conduction test and after seeing him for another issue he convinced me to do one today and it wasn't much to worry about after all. Super nice and informative as well.
Very professional, explained everything in a way that was easily understood, not rushed.
I was exceptionally surprised at the wonderful experience. I felt like the doctor took a real interest in hearing about my concerns. The pain I have been having in my hands has been unbearable. Finally some answers to get the help I need.
Very informative, nice personality.
