In patients' words

"I had a very disappointing phone interaction with nurse Jacqueline... I was spoken to in a condescending and dismissive manner."

— LocalityBiz (Tallwood Urology & Kidney Institute)

"I was referred for an MRI and after getting it done I didn't get a phone call from Dr. Volkin explaining my results... I finally got a call 2 weeks later, not from Dr. Volkin but from some nurse... and she didn't even explain it."

"I have had great experience with Dr. Bienek and staff. Very compassionate. Very competent. This is a good doctor and team."
