Good doctor but needs to explain what he is doing. Did not warn me and I ended up pulling away risking injury according to him.

Dr. Puchalski was a breath of fresh air when He came into the room. I had been sick for some 5 to 6 months or more and my primary care provider sent me to Him. He had a very dood bedside manner and made me to feel at ease because I was obviously nervous and SICK meaning I was having trouble walking because of dizziness. I was told what He wanted to check out and He came up with a plan of action very quickly after examining and having a CT scan right then in his office. I will be seeing Dr. Puchalski again for my treatment and I highly recommend Him.

I Brought my daughter in to see Dr. Puchalski and had such a great experience! Not only was he very professional with a great bedside manner, he immediately made my toddler feel so comfortable and calm while checking her tonsils and adenoids. I am very pleased with our visit. The staff was also fantastic! 10/10 recommend.

As a nurse I warn you Dr Puchalski was a weak physician unknowlegable about what to do even in his own mind. He dumped things off on other Doctors and cancelled a planned surgery the week of, telling me to get a second option but did not help me with getting an appt even though he knew I was unable to eat or sleep with the problem I had. I promise you he does not care about your well being. Find somebody else to treat you, you can not trust his care or compassion.
