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.

Not one iota
I really have to give this doctor the absolutely lowest grade possible. I was only his patient for about 9 months. During this period he cancelled 3 successive appointments, over a period of 6 months (!), which is pretty much unconscionable. So I had an initial visit, and one phone visit for 15 minutes, in 9 months. Moreover, while he was cancelling appointments and completely unavailable, his office would not write scripts for a medication that I have been on continuously for about 10 years. While I have come across some truly bad doctors, this guy is truly the most irresponsible physician I have ever encountered (IMO, his professional conduct seems to me to be actionable in some way). Good luck !

Dr. Antonowicz is an excellent doctor. It was only after seeing several doctors, I finally found a doctor who could help me. He is compassionate and offered understanding that only a "patient" could appreciate. He helped me through a very, difficult time. Unfortunately, he did move out of my area. I still haven't found a doctor equal to him. I keep hoping he will move back.
