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.

By far the worst experience I have ever had with any Dr. I had a hysterectomy last year and I prefer that surgery over the torture I went through yesterday at the hands of this so called dr. They told me I would have anesthesia but I'm sure it was just regular IV fluids because I was awake the whole time and could feel and hear everything happening to me. I was crying and moaning but they just kept telling me I was fine. I was so with it that I would have been perfectly fine driving home if my husband had not been with me. They strapped me to the chair even and I felt like I was a baby for crying. At one point I was actually able to speak and I bagged them to knock me unconscious because it was so painful. I had to have 7 teeth removed including my impacted wisdom teeth. Don't go to this sadistic place! They charge a lot of money just to torture you and make you pay to be put asleep even though they never do. Worst doctor experience by far!

I went in last week for my consultation visit Dr. Makowski about removing my only wisdom tooth. He was very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything. After informing me I was able to get my surgery scheduled for next week. Today I had my only wisdom tooth taken out. He did a great job getting that thing out. For the first time in years I haven’t had ringing in my right ear! It’s been a nice change. He even called me tonight to see how I was feeling. Also I need to mention the entire staff was very kind. The ladies at my consultation and surgery were great at making me feel comfortable before my procedure. The ladies at the front desk did a great job with appointments, explaining insurance, and keeping the waiting room clean for patients. Overall it was a great experience.

The Dr. took time and asked questions. Wait time was less than about ANYdoctors office I've been in. Surgery and recover have been fine.

Took extra time to explain the procedure, and he called the following day to check on how patient was doing.

He went over my medical history thoroughly, I felt I was in very good hands, he promptly scheduled my tooth extraction , called two days after surgery to check on me to make sure everything was going well at home and to see if I had any questions. I don't know of any doctors these days that would do that. Office help and staff were excellent.

Horrible experience don't walk run away from this office. I am a nurse and work in health care and this man and his office staff are the most unprofessional group I have ever met!

Wife went in for a procedure and we should have left before getting to the procedure as we felt he was rude and made things difficult to fully understand. The procedure did not go very well. The doctor recommended multiple follow ups to get xrays for the next several years. Talked to the general dentist and found they could monitor the teeth rather than going to multiple places for xrays.

Bad experience had complications from a oral tooth extraction surgery. A nerve was damaged during surgery and a week later they wouldn't get me in to see doctor for a visit to get it looked at the only explanation I could get was well he must have nicked a nerve it happen there is nothing we can do for you hopefully it will heal itself. In the meantime I have no feeling in half of my face and mouth and don't know if it will ever return
