I would not recommend this doctor if he was offering free services. What a terrible approach he has, clearly has some anger issues, extremely unprofessional.

When I came for our scheduled appointment, the office was closed. I called the office,the doctor said he thought my appointment was earlier, so he left.What? I had o leave work earlier, and he told me " he thought that my appointment was earlier". He didn't even call to double check . I should run away , but I scheduled another appointment. The doctor told me that he is not going to help me unless I pay for expensive saliva testing. What choice did I have , I paid. It was a waste of money. According to the test results, I had severe insomnia, and my DHEA is normal. Guess what ? None of it is true. I have never had insomnia, and several different blood tests results confirms that my DHEA is extremely elevated.The doctor said that he will help me to treat my insomnia. He kept saying it over and over again. I told him that I didn't have insomnia, but he didn't believe me. What kind of doctor does it? He fail to refer me to a specialist. I saw a different family doctor, and he told me that… Gawrysz should refer me to a specialist. I am very disappointed.

Dr. Gawrysz has the knowledge and experience of both Western and functional alternative medicine that I have not seen in other family physicians. I came in with extreme fatigue and high pain levels. Through a thorough 30 minute history intake and Dr. Gawrysz's genuine concern for my well being, a proper heavy metals test was ordered and the treatment given helped decrease my symptoms drastically. I am forever grateful for Dr. Gawrysz.

Dr. Gawrysz is one of the most brilliant doctors I have had. He is more thorough about running needed tests than most of my specialists.

Finally, I found the doctor who resolved many of my complicated issues. I've seen many doctors before and nobody could figure out what is going on with me. I highly recommend Dr. Gawrysz as a Western medicine specialist as well as functional alternative medicine professional.
