Dr Paplowski helps you get answers & shows concern. He can't help me anymore but still follows up with me & gets me referrals to specialists. His nurse, Lisa, is outstanding, as well. This office really cares about you.

This last time was a longer than usual wait and I just would liked to be informed of that if known. Sitting waiting in the room without knowing what is going on can get frustrating. This is the only visit with him that I had the issue. All others had been very timely.

I was scheduled to see Dr. Paplawski for a biopsy of a suspicious mass which meant I was nervous, anxious and generally not happy to be there. From reception to the consult to the biopsy, everyone was so kind, efficient and understanding. Dr. Paplawski patiently listened to all my concerns and calmly explained the procedure and several possible scenarios that made me feel better. At no point did I feel rushed or like I was being a burden. In a pretty crappy situation, Dr. Paplawski and the entire office staff made me feel as comfortable as possible.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
I don't believe there's anything that could be added to improve the experience.

Dr Paplawski great personality and friendly, easy to talk with.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
The return visit to tell me all was good and no issues was unnecessary. This use to be done with a phone call! Unless the visit is included with the procedure and not an extra expense for me the patient a phone call from the doctor would have been sufficient, that’s what was done previously and the results of procedure are quicker without any additional expense to the patient.
