Dr. Kenneth Ciesielka, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Ciesielka for over 30 years. I have always found him to be kind, thorough, and a great diagnostician. I will stick with him until he retires!

I tried to stay with this practice after the tragic death of Dr. Rabinowitz. I wanted to help the people who work at the office. But Dr. Ciesielka is the polar opposite of his former partner. He's not communicative, friendly or caring. I can't remain here. Whether he is knowledgeable or not, I don't really know. But I need a doctor with at least some personality.

I had ear throat problems which got worse after one week visit in MedExpress. I was unable to sleep because of ear and throat pain. My boyfriend and i both took a day off and drove 50 min to his office because his partner, Dr. Rabinowitz was my PCP for.over 20years. What a disappointment! He didn't even acknowledge my boyfriend's existence when he walked in the exam room. He didntwash his hands,quickly looked my ears and throat and gave some antibiotics, then sent me out without explanation. When I was still at the check out window, he already dived in his delivered lunch. It seems that to get to him lunch on time is more important than to treat a patient. Would you want this kind of doctor to treat you? Since Dr. Rabinowitz's tragic death, I was wondering if I need to find a.new doctor. Now the decision have become very easy. I miss Dr Rabinowitz dearly, there really is no comparison between these two doctors, eventhough they were partners in the same practice.

Dr Ciesielka has been my PCP for the past 9 1/2 years. He is very no nonsense, easy to work with, and direct. All traits I appreciate in a physician. I have referred several people to him and will continue to do so.

He was very gregarious and seems like an intelligent doctor who is very cognizant of his field. However, he did not take time to listen and was very dismissive of any presuppositions I had, without explaining why. Hence, I felt treated like a product on an assembly line. I would like a doctor more responsive and willing to take time to listen to his/her patients.
