Dr. John Richard Panek, MD

Dr Panek is great podiatrist. Got rid of my excruciating foot pain. Accurate diagnosis

I recently had bunion and second toe surgery I have praise for his office staff and his care. I was the third family member to have surgery by him. I saw a review on this site about turnover of staff but the same medical assistant has been with him for years. He and his staff were nothing but professional. I'm happy to give this review

Dr.Panek is extremely unprofessional and has absolutely no bedside manner or empathy for his patients. He deserves no stars whatsoever and if there was a negative rating available that would be my choice. My disabled mother was having trouble with her prescription for a shower chair for a week after her surgery, we were in his office for her post op asking about it. He stated “Oh someone was talking about that yesterday and even the day before”, we asked if he could ensure she gets her shower chair so that she can shower post op. He stated-“well, what should the prescription say?” I stated that there is no way we should know what it should say. I stated that as the subject matter expert (podiatrist/doctor) wouldn’t you know what the prescription should say? He proceeded to call me rude and once my Mom heard that she was very upset. He then called security? He is apparently highly intimidated when someone questions his position? His staff is a reflection of how he acts and treats his… patients as well. I will report this behavior to the medical board and the ADA and let everyone know the type of “doctor” John Panek is. Someone who does not take care of his patients, overlooks all of his appointments, never follows up on MYChart or messages, has a high turnover of staff, treats family members and their patients very disrespectfully and unprofessional. So go to this doctor is this is the type of care you would like to receive from a podiatrist.

Dr. Panek was extremely rude, gave the wrong size inserts and just had attitude. Towards the end of this lame appointment, he proceeded to just throw his hands up in the air. You could clearly tell he had no interest in helping us and acted like we were more of a burden than a patient. So sorry you’re a horrible doctor Dr. Panek, it must suck to be a doctor and actuall not help at all.
