Dr. Ryszard Skulski, MD

The front desk may be a mess, but don't penalize this doctor's rating for the shortcomings of the admin staff -- he is an *excellent* physician. My father is a retired heart surgeon, so I am more critical of heart care than many, and Dr. Skulski is an excellent physician by any measure. My 93yo father-in-law was visiting from out of town, experienced chest pain in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, and his home hospital could not get his medical records to Dr. Skulski in time for a visit. He was very patient in asking and answering many questions to get a clear picture of the complex situation. Dr. Skulski's recommendations in changing medications resulted in immediate improvement in my FIL's chest discomfort. Dr. Skulski also called back - personally - to review the results of the chest x-ray. He is now the primary heart doctor for my FIL. Highly recommended.

I don't know about the doctor, because only saw him once in 2 years. Was told doctor only see patients not having a problem, even though they have a heart situation. THE OFFICE STAFF, PARTICULARLY THE ONE THAT IS TALL AND THIN IS THE WORST. SHE MUST HATE HER JOB. VERY DISAGREEABLE. I wonder how many patients she loses. No longer going to that office, EVER!!

Pleased with Dr. Skulski's thoroughness, interest in me as a person, patient, and willingness to take the time to help me understand my condition, the meds I need to take etc.

I noticed high stars given LOL Those must be posted by him self or his fat office girl.

Bad Dr Stay away from him.

Excellent, knowledgeable physician. Explained everything to me in a way that I could understand

I had to give him 1 star to post, but deserves NONE!! Dr. Skulski is extremely incompetent, arrogant and lacks compassion. Six months after my father had a pacemaker placed by Dr. Skulski he developed all kinds of life threatening issues. Dr. Skulski said there was nothing that could be done. "He's 83 yrs old, he's had a long enough life." He didn't even know my father's history and thought he had COPD from smoking- neither are true. He said there was no cardiologist that could help my dad. We saw other cardiologist who all asked what was causing dad's symptoms? And let's treat them. Turns out dad had the wrong pacemaker placed and he was on the wrong medication. And his Atrial Fibrillation wasn't even being treated at all. His new cardiologist adjusted dad's pacemaker, started treating his Atrial Fibrillation and put him on the basic correct medications for congestive heart failure and he is back to where he was before he had the pacemaker placed. This doctor is very… dangerous and I feel so sorry for people that don't realize this and don't seek another opinion. I have reported him but I am not very confidant that anything will be done. Please be aware.

After having heart surgery a few months earlier in Los Angeles, I was feeling very weak, tired and overall bad. While visiting in Rancho Mirage, and I began to feel even worse. I was referred to Dr. Skulski by a friend, and when I called his office, they scheduled me to see him right away. After an EKG, ultrasound and a very thorough examination, Dr. Skulski stopped some of my medications and changed others. That afternoon, I began to feel better and a couple of days later, the chest pain was gone, and I got most of my energy back. Dr. Skulski you are the best.
