Dr Podkowa is a great doc.
I am 65 years old, and I had an appointment with Dr. Pakawa. From the moment I walked in to check in, the person who checked me in was polite, friendly, explained what was going on. The nurse, the doctor, checking out, it was amazing. I felt heard. I was told things that I did not know about regarding my health. that got me thinking about how I need to change my lifestyle a little bit. And I'm more than pleased with the care I have received. And I look forward to many, many more years with Dr. Pacawa and his staff. A very great experience that I would recommend to anyone. And I'm very, very, very appreciative. Thank you.
Nothing to improve, was a good visit.
