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.

A caring Doctor
our career, but I understand.I have been a patient of the Dr. ever since his first day in Sch. Haven. He has guided me thru some life threatening times, He has advised me on difficult decisions, and has never steered me wrong. We have had some very good discussions on politics, as we both have a love for our country. I am sorry that you have ended you aour career, but I wish you and your wife good health. You are a very caring doctor and human being, I wish. only the best for you and your family.

This was the worst experience of my life. My family has so many unnecessary medial bills due to this practice and my mother's brain surgery was postponed due to the lack of professionalism and follow through. Due to the time wasted my mother lost her eyesight permanently (tumor did irreversible damage that could have been prevented)! PLEASE spread the word do not go here!!!!

i have been a patient of dr. z since he first came to town. he has guided me thru some pretty rough times, including a stroke and a bypass heart operation. he made arrangements with w reading hospital to have a heart catherization and 5 blockages were discovered. the local hospital had checked my heart, said it was fine. i was immediately sched. for a bypass operation. if dr. z hadn't made the contacts, i probably wouldn't be here to write this.

Dr. Michael Zawisza has been our family physician for more than 20 years. He has served three generation's of our family.He reminds me of the devoted and caring doctors of 100 years ago... You are not treated like a number, he is highly skilled and genuinely cares. His office staff are professional and helpfull. In an emergency they are available. A five star rating isn't enough!!
