Besides the usual 2 hour wait, Doctor Pieszak is very abrasive, rude, and greedy. The last time I waited 2 hours to see her, she finally came in briefly and her cell phone started ringing. She left the room to answer the call and left me waiting another 20 minutes. When she finally returned, she made no apology for the disruption. I particularly dislike how unnecessarily harsh she is to her staff. Those ladies are clearly intimidated by her and you can tell they hate their jobs. I have also experienced the doctor's multiple (expensive) test requests and then her requirement that I come in for follow up. I was charged over $1,000 for a test that I do feel I needed but she refused to tell me the results over the phone. She wanted me to pay her another $150 to come in and wait another inconvenient 2 hours for her feedback. Why would I stay with such an unfriendly and callous doctor when there are so many other capable and personable professionals to choose from?

Always at least 1-1/2 to 3 hours late, she'd come into the exam room and then proceed to talk about her own problems and tell me about other patients.I had to come in person to get test results that could have been discussed over the phone. My other doctors do this as a courtesy. I finally had enough when I had just had hip-replacement surgery and was experiencing piercing migraines. Dr. Pieszak refused to talk to me over the phone and insisted that I come into the office. I explained to her staff that it was a struggle to even make my way to the bathroom and an office visit would be impossible. They told me it was her rule. Stuck at home in bed I explained that as my paid doctor she was entitled to take care of me. I was basically told "tough Luck". I told them she was worthless and to tell her she was fired. The next day I received a certified letter from her saying she was no longer going to keep me as a patient. I would never recommend her to anyone. My experience was horrible.

Dr Pieszak has been my family doctor for the last 3 years and has been wonderful. Yes, she sends me out for tests, but she listens to what I have to say so the tests are valid. I've only had to wait once for about 30 minutes - the rest of the time I've seen her within 15 minutes after my arrival. I've been there for 2 emergencies and she's seen me right away (probably making her late for everyone else - apologies). She's very good - one of the best I've been to.

Terrible experience. Saw her a total of 3 times--late EVERY time even though I scheduled the first appt. of the day. Wait in the EXAM room for 1 1/2 hours with NO explanation as to why. No staff enters to explain why she's late. She does not allow you to discuss any other issues with her other than that for which your appt. is for--one question ONLY! If you try to ask another question, she will say, "Let's discuss it out here" which is at the front desk in full view & earshot of not only her staff, but the entire waiting room. She is abrupt, discourteous, unprofessional, rude and arrogant AND I am a medical professional myself!! By the way, her mother 'works' in the office which, by my experience, seems to be to soothe patients. She says things like, 'I know you wait a long time, but she's worth it.'--NOT by my experience she's NOT! She also brings 'Sam' into the office AND exam rooms--Sam is her dog--clean, but I'm sure something the Dept.of Health would not appreciate!

Horrible experience. I, like the reviewer before me, tried scheduling the first appt. of the day thinking i would be in and out quickly. Never happened. Always had an excuse (surgery, emergency). She doesn't even do surgery! She doesn't even have privileges at the local hospital! I can tell you that every Dr. I went to for something else would see Dr. Piezak's name on my medical records and would just say to me, "Why are you going to her? Get out of there!" I finally did. I finally Googled her, and you should do the same. She was thrown out of medical school because of poor test results, etc. She retaliated by sueing the Dr.'s and the hospital she trained at. When I left the practice and received my records, there was stuff in there that she falsely related in her notes. Every visit she would indicate that I had gone to a specialist for a certain minor problem, when I absolutely never had. She is unhelpful, unkind and mostly, unprofessional.

Dr. Pieszak was my family doctor for about 3 years. I left after I got the feeling she refused to listen to me, even when I stated directly that she wasn't listening to me. On one visit she gave me a referral for a symptom I didn't have; I told her I didn't have that symptom and she ignored me and wrote out the referral anyway. I also waited in her office on every visit for up to 2 hours. Once I tried to overcome the waiting problem by scheduling the first appointment of the day. She was still an hour and a half late to the appointment because she said she had to take her daughter to school. I have children too!

Dr Pieszak has always been worth the wait. She is very thorough and I feel she knows other doctors in the area well, which is necessary when she recommends you to a specialist. I have sent many friends to her. So, just bring a book and a bottle of water.

Long, long wait. Lots of test that seem to come out negative. Very hard to get results.

This doctor runs 2-3 hours late, rushes in with wet hair and some excuse which sounds like a lie ("emergency surgery" when I KNOW she no longer assists in surgery!) Brings her dog and her daughter into the office with her, then spends 5 minutes with me, orders a bunch of unnecessary and expensive tests without letting me know the results. She does not keep notes on most of her patients and argues with you about medications she forgets she prescribed. It is like a circus. I left there feeling angry and abused. This woman does not know what she is doing!!!!!!
