Dr Golonka is the "patch adams" of doctors. Very kind and good at answering questions. However, with his huge out of control practice and unprofessionalism of his staff, it is difficult to actually have your child seen by Dr. Golonka. My child had a serious diagnosis that went on for over 2 weeks before the doctor or his colleagues would order the right test for the diagnosis. I called the office several times (oftentimes the line is busy) and was told that the doctor available was out to lunch and not taking any calls - that I could call back in an hour. I was dismayed to say the least. If Dr. Golonka was his own "one man show" I would definently stick with him. However, unfortunately I am forced to seek out another pediatrician for my child.

Dr. Golanka has been seeing our kids for last 11 years.We moved about an hour away from his office.He is sooooo gooood, we couldn't dare to change him.I am a nurse and feel very safe with his recommendations, very laid back,extremely knowledgeable.Would call you in the middle of night, if needed.Not only that, there were few times when he called just to give us reassurance( just when you need reassurance regarding your kids, not false one though).He takes lots of pride and honor in what he does.You can tell, he loves his profession( not for money).Can't say enough good things about him.
