He's been my doctor for a few years. He listens and is thorough. O will say I'm not fond of his MA with dark straight hair. She wasn't very warm didn't introduce herself. I also feel she took my BP wrong

I am honestly shocked and disturbed by the rave reviews this doctor is getting. Staff at this office is very rude, and refuses to listen to pleas of the families of patients, when the patients are too far gone or sick to bring up issues themselves, even when they are listed as people who can be informed of medical issues. He overlooks very obvious medical issues, which specialists in other areas see immediately, even though it isn’t their areas of expertise. He has overprescribed opioids to people with a history of addiction, instructed patients to lose a dangerous amount of weight, and will barely give a once over of anything unless specifically asked. I guess he would be an okay person to go to if you need a general physical and you have no concerns going into the appointment, but if you have any sort of ailment or are in generally poor health, it’d be better to just to a basic google search to figure out what steps to take than it would be to step anywhere near this office.

Dr. Cherneskie is an excellent doctor. He spends time with you, answers all your questions, doesn’t rush you, is very caring and knowlegable and has a blood lab in his office which is very convenient. He takes the time to get to know you and your health problems and is very kind and considerate. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a primary care doctor.

Dr. Cherneskie is so nice, he takes his time during the appointment, asks questions and allows plenty of time if you need to talk about the reason for your visit. He does prompt you to go for age related tests like colonoscopies and mammograms, which is a good thing. Is staff is always professional.

Very smart and caring doctor. Dr. Cherneskie has always been a total professional when attending to my health issues. He always asks if there are any other concerns I have with my health other than the reason for my visit.
