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.

Very nice, yet very professional.

My experience with Dr. Diakiw is always memorable for so many reasons. He always puts his patients first Not the clock! He became a physician when listening to a patient was as important as the treatment they received. He is a special person in my life and I will be grateful to him for the excellent care I’ve received from this gentle and kind man.

I was transitioned to Dr. Diakiw when my previous primary retired. I was alright with him until just earlier this year. I scheduled and went in for my yearly physical, like always. I was assured it was a well visit, and would be billed as such. Until I got the bill for well over $100 because his office billed it as a follow-up without telling me. I was essentially told I could not have a well visit, because Dr. Diakiw would only ever bill as a follow-up. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Our area is fortunate indeed to have a physician like Dr. Diakiw to tend to our medical needs. He is brilliant, always available, polite, freely shares time with patients and family, and has given me and my family enormous confidence of his medical judgment and expertise based on his outstanding care to 3 generations of our family. His experience gives him an uncanny alertness to medical issues and symptoms, and this is invaluable in a medical professional where often this is all-important.
