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.

He has a BAD ARROGANT ATTITUDE. I waited 45 minuets in a room. He could not care less about patients and sees them as a obstruction and follows instructions from insurance companies to give false dispositions on patients who are entitled to workmans compensation. He needs to be reported to aurhorities.

He was very rude. The rude medical assistant with blonde hair put me in a room within 15 minutes to make it look as if I would be seen within a short amount of time. I had to wait one hour and 30 minutes for the physician assistant to give me a shot in the knee the first time. The second time I waited over an hour for the physician which saw me for 3 minutes total. He had no compassion and just wanted to do surgery without giving me any other options. This was at the UPMC sports complex.

I had a follow-up appointment for my right knee in which I received injections for at the sports complex in Cranberry. As usual I waited over 1 1/2 hours to see him. I had a question regarding my knee and he told me to make another appointment because they had a probe up his blank. He did not even spend 5 minutes with me. The physician assistant came in the room and did not even knock prior to ask him if he had any orders. She just stayed there. The whole staff was so rude with no compassion.

I started seeing Dr Szabo for a shoulder injury. When he would move my injured arm to check for pain and flexibility he did not seem to care that he was causing me pain. He would just rattle out a bunch of measurements for his nurse to write down not even noticing that he was causing me pain. He is not interested in having any type of conversation with you. He is all business. In and out of the room before you know it.
