Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Simply the Best
Dr Michalak has been my Doctor for decades. Under his care I have conquered many ailments and survived to enjoy life to the fullness. He is the best who will be missed.

Best general practicioner in Ohio.
Dr. Michalak has been taking care of most of my family since he joined the practice at Worthington Family Physicians. When Dr. Foster retired there was no doubt who to choose. He is one of the best physicians in Ohio and possibly the USA. He is attentive, personable and likely one of the most knowledgeable in his field. When traditional prescriptions are not working, he has done the research and can recommend something herbal that shows promise. He is too young to be retiring but my entire family and I truly wish him well in retirement. His shoes are some very large ones to fill and I hope that we can find someone who is half the doctor that he is. Thank you Dr. Michalak for all that you have done for me and my family all of these years. You will be missed.

Me and my family have seen Dr Michalak for the last 30 years. He is very professional, knowledgeable, personable and great listener. He always made us feel that he has all the time in the world to listen to our concerns. It takes half a hour to reach the practice. But it always felt it was worth it. Wish Dr. Michalak all the best for retirement.

Have been seeing Dr.Michalak my entire adult life and I’ve been well taken care of. He has also taken very good care of my parents. He’s very logical, knowledgeable and personable. When he’s in the room with you he’s very attentive and gives you the time you need. I’ll be sad when he retires and I have to find another PCP.

I’ve been to doctors who really don’t listen to what is being said. Dr. Michalak listens and takes into account what is being said. He is trustworthy, cares about his patients and has the medical knowledge and capabilities to carry out what is needed.
