More concerned about his computer than patient’s ailments. Did not listen to patient’s complaints and talked above them.

Dr. Kaniecki's bedside manner is horrible. I don't care how good of a doctor he is you need to talk to your patients with respect. He is more worried about typing into his computer than he is talking to the patient.

Dr. Kaniecki was able diagnose and treat my cluster headaches when others could not. His treatments have literally given me my life back.

I've been going to Dr. Kaniecki for several years now...and he has been an excellent neurologist. I gave suffered from migraines since I have been a child and thanks to Dr. Kaniecki they are under control. He has never changed my meds without my knowledge... But... My insurance did!!!!! Beware of insurance ... They feel they can change your meds whenever they please! I highly recommend Dr. Kaniecki, but dont miss your appt.!

After requesting a refill of a migraine med until my appt in a month, he refused and pushed me off to my PCP because he had an issue with the pain meds that a Dr had prescribed because of injury all via email. He couldn't be a professional and addressed those concerns with his patient directly or find out what happened, NO only pulled up my Rx record made a rush judgment and pushed me off to someone else. Didn't even care about if I had to immediately stop the migraine meds and what that might do to his patient. DO NOT WASTE your a NON-migraine day on him or a copay!!!

I went to this Doc for 2 years. You had to specifically ask for an apointment with him or you got a PA. Turns out the PAs were much nicer and more informative. Kaniecki didn't even come in the room he stood in the doorway and rattled off instructions. Arrogant doesn't even come close to decribing him.
