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 Understanding
Dr. Julka is great he diagnosed me in a timely manner and gave in depth information regarding what was wrong with that I could understand and comprehend.

POOR SERVICE!
My test was done May 8th 2024 Today is May 20 2024, I am still waiting for meds to be called in, although the nurse said, she would talk to the Dr and what pharmacy do you use, a week ago.I called today, I was waiting on the phone over 20 min, finally a women came back on the phone and said It’s only one person in the back. WHAT?She said she was going to talk to someone to call me back. I am so tired of calling the pharmacy and calling Dr Julka officeOne of the worst experiences I have ever had.

Horrible Experience
Do Not Recommend. First, it is very hard getting through to anyone on the phone and messages do not get you a return call. Second, the doctor doesn’t warn you that his outpatient office does not have the right equipment and you may need to have a second follow up colonoscopy at the hospital, requiring you to pay thousands more because of a polyp in a ‘difficult position.’ Good for you doctor, squeezing more money from people because you didn’t warn them of this issue.

Dr.Julka is always professional, compassionate and understanding towards your conditions or issues. He explains what's going and how the meds may help. I trust his recommendations and feel I will get better.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Julka for a few yrs now. When I say he will get to the bottom of your issues he don’t play. He just don’t guess and throw u on meds like other Dr. He asks a lot of questions about symptoms you’re experiencing. I would definitely recommend him.

I've been seeing Dr. Julka since December 2021 for ongoing issues of my stomach and liver. Dr. Julka is a very patient and through doctor. If he doesn't know, he will not say what he thinks it is unless he is absolutely sure. I have seen lots of doctors and Dr. Julka has been one of the most knowledgeable and kind and patient doctors I've ever had. I Highly recommend Dr. Julka.

Dr. Julka is an excellent patient advocate. Do not let his quiet demeanor fool you, he is listening and concentrating on the best patient care plan for you. I have been seeing him for over a year and I never have to wait long for my appointment. His care plan is laid out and explained, with no guess work. I wish all doctors conducted them selves this way. Most doctors give you a pill to get you out of their office. Dr. Julka listens to you, runs tests, and provides a solution. Tracy
