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.

Excellent care
Dr Pruchnic explained my condition in a way that I could understand without talking down to me and went over all treatment options with me. My questions were answered and I felt my concerns were taken seriously. Highly recommend.

Timothy prunich I had Mr. Prunich perform surgeries for carpal tunnel on both hands. When I showed up for the first surgery, I asked “When do I get the anesthesia to put me to sleep?” I found out Mr. Prunich put the info into the computer wrong, (him and I were the only ones in the office) and he had me set up to have surgery without anesthesia, due to Mr. Prunich’s error, I had to be rescheduled. Both hands were performed and both hands continued to have severe pain and numbness. I contacted Mr. Prunich for this reason. They scheduled me a follow up, and Mr. Prunich did not believe my hands were or could be still soar. I asked him for help and he told me this was “The end of our relationship.” This was not only completely unprofessional, but completely rude and disrespectful. I called my pcp and asked for a referral to another hand surgeon. I just had the EMG test performed after my surgeries and my carpal tunnel is now WORSE than it was before. Do not use Mr. Pru

My husband cut his hand up really badly on a table saw including cutting off his pinkie. Dr. Pruchnic did such a wonderful job that my husband can still do most everything he did before including riding his motorcycle.
