Dr. Alan Pocinki is the most remarkable physician and specialist I have ever been a patient of. Yeah, he's not easy to get in to see, but the best doctors aren't, y'know. Word of their excellence spreads, until you can squeak into their practice. I feel fortunate in that I had been accepted into his practice during an Open Season where he was available to see new patients .. many many years ago! I've been seeing Dr. Pocinki for nearly 20 years! I've moved numerous hours away from his office, and STILL I see Dr. Pocinki. I rent a car, & set aside a day to get into DC, see Dr. P, and out, he's THAT GOOD, and I have absolutely NO intention of letting Dr. P go (until he retires, hopefully that is not any time soon!) I have a battery of medical diagnoses that have not been easy to diagnose, let alone treat; just look at my medical history before Dr. P. These DXs have left me housebound, and even bed bound, and eventually out of work. Dr. P got me up on my feet, and continues to… do so, thank You God! I am totally committed to this Physician, Dr. Pocinki, who is trustworthy, kind, understanding and knows his stuff! Thanks Doc!

I love my Dr. He takes his time to answer all my questions. He never rushes me out the door. I never had to wait in the reception area. He is ontime with all appointsments. I relocated to another City and State and still called him for medical advice. I absolutely Love Love Love him.

Dr. Pocinki really knows what he's doing, and he spent a ton of time with my fiance and with me, listening to each of discuss our concerns and answering our questions knowledgeably. We each got a full hour with him and did not feel rushed at all. He even draws blood and takes your blood pressure himself. He's just very friendly and knowledgeable and responsive. I'm so glad I have finally found a GP I like in DC.

He is brilliant. His mind operates like 50 huge computers linked together. Had it not been for Dr. Pocinki I would have been dead on several occassions. He has spent ONE HOUR with me for the last 14 years. WHO DOES THAT? He listens, cares, and is just brilliant. By far the best physician I have dealt with and I've seen about 60 physicians for a severe genetic disorder. He is truly the very best there is. Thank goodness I found him.
