Dr. Sienko gets high marks for aloofness. Does he ever smile? One gets the feeling that patients are mere numbers to him rather than people.

If you have a loved one going through cancer, stay away from Dr. Sienko. He is rude, condescending, insensitive, does NOT listen to the patient let alone family members, lacks empathy and compassion, and his bedside manner is non-existent. It's been about a year and a half since I lost my mother. During the time I was taking care of her, I (we) made more than three different requests to utilize the death with dignity act. Dr. Sienko refused to hear us. The medicine he used caused the cancer to retreat from her lungs into her abdomen where it wreaked havoc on her over the last few months, hours and minutes of her life. She ended up suffering and withering away just like she DID NOT WANT TO DO!!! My mother and I took care of my father in our family home and watched him suffer and wither away together. Neither she nor I wanted that for her, but NO! Thanks to Dr. Sienko not listening to his patient, working for his patient, he worked for himself and just sluffed my mother off to the wayside when treatment wasn't working. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone. EVER!

Rude and insensitive, not particularly helpful. He does not work with the family and he is rude to them. He wants lots of credit for his ability but does little to earn it. He seems chronically angry.

Dr Sienko has the worst bedside behavior I have ever seen. He shows no compassion. Having seen a family member go through the difficulties of cancer with a Dr like Dr Sienko was the worst experience ever.
