Dr. Mark Jeffrey Jarek, MD

Where to start! If you want to feel like a child and be repremanded for trying to find answers, he's the Dr.for you. He belittles you and makes you feel like your insignificant.

Heard he was one of the best, first appointment was awesome, but very bad after that never listen. Actually not sure he wants you as a patient well I don’t need him as a Doctor.

Just like the others didn't seem to care to actually help. Came up with conclusions that were false. Made me feel like i shouldnt be there. Acted like i didnt have a problem. Give me a break i have verified proof of my health condition. This man doesnt even know what arthritis is. Has no conscience. And im filing complaint with the board with others who exoerienced same issues. He must of partied in school and didnt really study. So rude. What a jerk. Shame on him for his horrible bedside manners. The jerk doesn't want to hear the truth. Zero stars needs to stop practicing. Phoney doctor. God sees all. Atleast i found out my first appt what a true piece of crap he was so i can find a good doctor. One that understands my condition.

I have a 10 year history of oral cancer and after seeing many drs with no one being able to figure out what is causing my mouth ulcers, a biopsy showed sjogrens disease, my ENT is very concerned that I will have a mouth full of cancer and I was referred to Dr Jarek for his opinion. I have seen many drs over the years but I must say he was the worst I have ever experienced. He was worse than rude, didn't care at all about my cancer concerns, only cared if I had rheumatoid arthritis and kept saying he didn't even know why I was sent to him. I have never felt so humiliated by a medical person of any title in my entire life. What a jerk. Would never want anyone I cared about to go to him and be so mistreated. Don't know how he can remain a dr, but CMH should send him packing.

Doesn't seem like a very pleasant person. Rude and does not listen to the patient very well. If you have a choice to see another doctor choose them instead of him if not you will be wasting your time seeing this doctor.

I've had RA for well over 30 years. I've has my share of RA Doctors and must say Dr Jarek is the best. I admire the fact he travels to small towns during the week. He helps many people by going to them. While I was in rehab due to catastrophic injury I developed Felty's syndrome and needed two more units of blood. There was a problem getting it to the facility I was in. They called Dr. Jarek and he told them what to give me. Two days later I no longer needed the transfusion. I'm moving and decided that driving 8 hours would be nothing to keep Dr Jarek. I know he's very busy but he's never treated me bad.

I am a 74 year old male who has had RA for 25 years. I had been seeing a RA doctor in Springfield but chose to see Dr Jarek as he was closer to my residence. Dr. Jarek was extremely rude. He was not interested in what I had to say about my past history and when I mentioned my records, he retorted, " I don't have time to look at your records." He was dismissive, condescending and unwilling to discuss with me very simple concerns that I had when he suggested I try a new treatment option. It was as if he already decided the best course of treatment for me and he apparently did not feel my input was necessary. I have never had a doctor treat me as rudely as Dr. Jarek. It seemed he had an agenda and that was all that he was interested in. Inf fact he left the room as I mentioned that maybe I should find a new doctor, he turned, smirked and said, " I am at Mercy and Freeman". Needless to say I am back in Springfield with my original doctor. I would not recommend Dr Jarek to… anyone that I care about.

wanted to start infusion before trying other things. I got a second opinion and they said infusion was only used as a last resort. Not sure what Jarek was thinking other than money....

Does not seem to want to believe what you tell him. Just wants to hurry up and get you out of his office. His Nurse Julie runs the office and he takes her word for everything. Even when you prove them wrong they still don't believe you.

Always a positive experience. Receiving the best of care.very thorough and getting to the point in the problems my husband has had. Has helped my husband 200% and we recommend Dr. Jarek very HIGHLY.Office staff is wonderful too. Everyone in that office is very sincere.Dr. Jarek is a warm and wonderful Doctor.
