Dr. Glenn Peter Gwozdz, MD

I was referred to Dr. Gwozdz by my primary physician. I have been a patient of his wife, Dr. Christina Gwozdz for over 20 years, and I have always been treated by her staff, and Christina with the utmost in patient care. Therefore, when I was referred to her husband for a problem I had been having with Acid Reflux and a swallowing problem in my Esophagus, I thought I would receive the same high quality of service. I WAS SO WRONG!!! During my very short office visit, Dr. Gwozdz did no examination of my problem, other than listening to my story. Dr. Gwozdz told me, since I would be "under," I might as well have a Colonoscopy procedure on the same day; even though I had already had a Colon test performed during the previous 18 months which tested negative for any colon problems. I thought this was odd, and I felt like I was dealing with a slick car salesman, who wanted to add another feature to the car, so he could make more money. So we scheduled the two… procedures, and he prescribed a RX for me to take in the interim, to mitigate my symptoms. So..I took my first capsule, as prescribed. At 2:00 A.M. woke up with a very bad headache, upset stomach, throwing up uncontrollably, chills, and shakiness. This went on for about 45 minutes, so my husband called the Hilton Head Medical Center E.R. and spoke with the physician on call. The very nice physician told my husband what over- the - counter treatment was needed to stop all the side effects of this medication. He also stated, that if this did not work, to come to the E.R. immediately. Luckily his recommendation worked. I phoned Dr. Gwozdz office the next morning, and got a recording. I left a message on the nurse's voice mail, and explained my situation, and asked that Dr. Gwozdz give me a call. I got a call later that morning from the nurse, who very curtly told me that it was impossible to have those side effects from the prescription that I took. I explained that these are the side effects listed on the prescription information sheet that Walgreens had provided me. The nurse stated " that is impossible, as this has never happened before." I asked that Dr. Gwozdz give me a call, so I could discuss this reaction to the drug he had prescribed. After a day, I received no call from Dr. Gwozdz. Therefore I decided that I did not want any physician to perform any procedures on me if he was not willing to take a few minutes of his time to call me when I had a problem. I cancelled both procedures with Dr. Gwozdz' office and the Surgical Center. Then I receive a call from Dr. Gwozdz' office asking why I want to cancel! I repeated the same story, and have never heard from Dr. Gwozdz. HOWEVER...he did send me a bill for his services. I paid his bill, even though the service was so horrible, he doesn't deserve one penny! Do you want a physician who will not phone you when you have a problem?? I would recommend that you highly avoid this physician!

Dr Gwozdz was very professional and explained everything to me. Took the time to answer any questions I had. Dr was very thorough. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Gwozdz is a wonderful, caring physician. He listens, is conservative in treatment and even calls with test results himself --- how special is that in today's world?!

more concerned about himself than his patient

I am very impressed with Dr. Gwozdz , he and his staff couldn't be nicer or more professional! He is the only doctor I've ever had call me himself with the results of my pathology. He and his staff took care of getting me where I needed to be and took care of the paperwork and set up appointments with the doctors I needed to see without my having to do anything except show up. 5 stars from me!

Worst Dr. I've ever had. Avoid this practice at all cost. It's worth going to Savannah.
