Love Dr. Bob! He's very practical and takes the time to listen to your issues, not only physical health but also your state of mind that may be blocking the path to good health. Great bedside manner and he really cares to find a healthy solution to your problems.

I came in to establish care and hopefully get pain meds to hold me over until I could see a pain specialist because I was having excruciating pain in my back, hips, and legs. I'd had a cat scan just days before and the report had not yet been released to me, but he had the report in the records that were sent over to his office. He neglected to tell me that I had a compression fracture, instead focusing on some old lesions that were proven not to be cancer earlier this year. I left his office in tears. After seeing a pain specialist later that day I was hospitalized and provided appropriate care. This man is sick and strange.

Treats you like a person not just a patient. Excellent bedside manner, with a side of a sense of humor. Genuinely cares about your well being and it shows. Also has a pleasant personable staff.

Our family LOVES Dr. Bob!! He's the BEST Dr. our family has EVER had!! He always listened very well and took excellent care of us all for the 5 years we lived in Alaska. We've never found another Dr. like him, so don't take him for granted. ;)

Dr Skala has taken care of me from the very start. He has put me back on track and I have fallen off a couple of times but he reminds me that he wants me to live a quality life and I have to agree with him. He is definintely one of the best.
