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.

Great primary care doctor
Dr. Shlimak has been my primary care doctor for several years. He has always taken the time to listen and answer any questions I have. He is very thorough and does a great job of making sure that I stay on track with any other exams/tests. Recommend him as a primary care physician.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shlimak?
I was very happy for over 30 years with my previous primary physician who recently retired. Dr. Shlimak is my new doctor and it only took a visit or two to convince me that I made a great pick. Right away, simply the thoroughness of a routine annual physical conveyed to me that Dr. Shlimak wasn't just going through the motions. Already he has given me insights into my health that I was previously unaware of and offered details that were not only new but also reassuring to me. He listens well and takes the time to give thorough, professional answers. Follow-up visits with Dr. Shlimak indicates that he either remembers me and my health history or does his homework before I show up. I like that. I am left with the feeling that Dr. Shlimak really cares about my health and well-being. What more can one ask for in a doctor?

Very cold and condescending doctor. Not a pleasant experience. He does not treat you holistically and only looks at you as the “next” patient

Dr. Shlimak is unnecessarily mean and cold to his patients. He lacks compassion and does not cater to the needs of his patients. Throughly awful experience, I did not trust his work and would recommend him to no one.
