Sadly he has done the same to me as mentioned in the other reviews regarding insurance claims. One visit resulted in a 6 page letter with incorrect diagnosis, untrue claims, and incorrect information. Of course, favoring the insurance company. How does this man sleep at night?

BEWARE! This dr is paid HUGE amounts of money to construct an opinion that only serves the people paying him...the insurer (workers comp). If you want to know the price for conscience these days, go see him and you will find out. Despicable!

One of the most caring and compassionate physicians I have encountered. He listens.

This doctor is a typical insurance company hack. He took less than 20 minutes to rubber stamp the opinion that the insurance company hired him to give. The guy is so careless that he did not even spell my name right much less get the diagnosis correct! If your insurer hires this guy, it is solely to support a bad faith denial of your claim. Beware!

Had accupuncture experience with Dr. S - he is excellent, caring and knowledgeable. Do not go to him if you need a conventional traditional experience ...

Worker's Comp chose this doctor as a second opinion following my husband's toxic gas inhalation. We met with Dr. Starzinski in a rented room at a physical therapy building at the edge of town. He was wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a sports jacket. His hands were shaking. He brought a small packet of 3 instruments and spent less than an hour evaluating my husband to determine if he has indeed suffered diabilitating injuries from a toxic gas inhalation as 3 neurologists and 2 pulmonologists have already determined. He refused to allow us to record the examination. My husband has spent countless hours in testing his neurological and lung function since his accident at several very reputable hospitals touted for their experience with traumatic brain injury and heart and lung treatment. He has had EEG's, MRI's and CT's. His medical records since the accident comprise a file over 3 inches thick. Dr. Starzinski will make a determination based on information he gathered on two pieces… of notebook paper, using a rubber mallet and his index finger. I do not understand this at all!
