I highly recommend Dr. Szynal! She was very thorough and listened to me talk about my issues. After suffering from migraines for over 3 years I started to feel relief almost immediately once I started getting care from her.

My son was placed in her care from work injury. She laughed at him when he requested a "$2,000" MRI after several weeks of extreme pain. Issued pain medication with no specialist referral. She kept sending him back to work when he could barely drive nor sleep. Likely rewarded for excluding the injured from workers comp. Ridicules and disrespect patient. Never would we recommend her!

I am not impressed with Dr. Szynal. i have found that she talks down to her patients. Bad attitude and does not like to be questioned. When asking questions of her, never a straight answer and treats you like you are an idiot!! Really bad bedside manner. Makes you feel like she doesn't care. Acts superior. Will not reccomend her to anyone!!

Joan Szynal is the only MD in the area who has helped me with advanced severe scoliosis together with muscular and joint problems. I would be lost without her and recommend her highly to others.
