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.

Outstanding doctor and medical staff team!
Dr. Stankiewicz and his entire team were outstanding. I felt that I had the best doctor for my sinus procedure. He was calm, knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and very reassuring. On a few occasions I had questions outside of my appointment and his staff got back to me very quickly. They truly were the best team of health professionals that I have ever worked with! Big thumbs up!

Was in this office for a total of 12 minutes. That is including putting some numbing gel in my nose so he could look for a problem in my sinuses. He ended up telling me to look online to see what I could find that is wrong with me. Imagine.. he is the specialist and I should look online? For that I get a bill for over $650! after they charged my PPO insurance, that is in their plan. No resolution to a sinus problem but now a $650 bill. This doctor is an imposter. RUN away.. do NOT see this doctor for anything.

Dr. Stankiewicz has been treating me for long term sinus infections for the past 3 years. He and his staff including Nurse Lisa have been diligent in finding the right solutions to ease & erase my issues. During my course of treatment Dr. S. uncovered what he suspected to be a bleeding disorder and was extremely helpful in getting me to an excellent specialist who confirmed his suspicions - without Doctor’s astute observations I would never have known about or been able to address this problem. In February ‘20 Dr. S performed sinus surgery and through subsequent visits he expertly made certain that my sinus mechanics were as they should be. When I had continuing infection issues, Dr. S. sent me to another specialist and through coordinated efforts I have been completely clear and given the assurance that we have things under control. Dr. S. and staff never gave up which provided me the hope I needed that I would finally be infection free & I’m so grateful that I am. Thank you Dr. S.!!

I was referred to Dr. Stankiewicz by my primary Dr. to treat a sinus infection I had for 4 months. My primary Dr. gave me antibiotics two times, but there was no improvement. After my first visit with Dr. S, I had improvement, but, I was still getting sinus pressure. He ordered a CT scan, and after will treat me for what ever the scan shows. I am so happy, he will get to the bottom of my persistent issues. I can see how much He and His team are diligent to help me get an on going problem finally resolved. I would definitely recommend Dr. S to my family and friends. I am so grateful for not being dismissed, knowing this issue is not fully resolved. Bravo Dr. Stankiewicz!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Stankiewicz for many years now. He has given me my life back! I was constantly getting sick with sinus infections and had four sinus surgeries with other doctors. When I found Dr. Stankiewicz, I had a major sinus surgery with him 16 years ago . . . and haven't had to have a sinus surgery since then!! :-) My sinuses are happy now!! Yay!! I can breathe and have my sense of smell back. I am so very grateful to him for all he's done for me. He truly does care about all his patients and their well being. I would highly recommend him to anyone having sinus problems. You are getting the best of care with him. I trust him with my life! :-)

I was referred to Dr. Stankiewicz in 2016, for chronic sinus infections. I had undergone two previous sinus surgeries by an ENT in South Bend, IN. Dr. Stankiewicz did major surgery on my sinuses and was able to correct my problems. What a difference it has made in my comfort and health! He is a good communicator and is a really kind person. He has an excellent staff. They are also kind and helpful. I feel so fortunate to have found him.

I was transferred from another hospital to Dr Stankiewicz. While pregnant, I awoke one morning to my eye emerging from its socket. I was starting to lose eyesight and Dr. Stankiewicz took my case. He operated and found I had a sinus infection and tumor, which blocked my sinus cavity. The pressure from the infection caused it to drain behind my eye. He saved my vision. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Stankiewitz cured my chronic sinutitus in two weeks that couldn't be cured by my former ENT over a three year period. With the cure came the return of my sense of smell which had neen lost for three years snd defied treatment. Through the miracle of his somnoplasty procedure he treated my enlarged turbinates (lining of my nose) making breathing through my nose possible without the use oxf strong nasal sprays like Afrin. I can now smell clearly, breathe freely without Afrin and tissues.
