This crook kept me for an additional day at the hospital because he said a Dr. had reported they heard me making statements indicating I was homicidal. I was not even suicidal much less homicidal. He was trying to railroad a mental health nurse to inpatient care because I guess maybe he was behind on his car payments. He asked me three times during the first interview what I did for a living. You think he would remember if someone told him they were a mental health RN but not this genius. I was in for pain and CMH did a mental health screen and cleared me. Then the NP later told me since Mark assessed me he could override the CMH recommendation. Of course they did not tell me this prior to seeing this liar. I will never step foot back in a McLaren as a patient. I will be going to Munson in Gaylord or Traverse city. I find it hard to believe this guy has so many good reviews, I question the veracity of these reviews. They cannot possibly be real. He provided substandard clinical performance with clearly questionable medical judgement and honesty to be frank. He was dismissive of my statements and he talked at me more than to me trying to build his BS case for homicidal ideation. He lacked professional conduct as his approach to medicine was highly questionable and unprofessional, he actually called me a liar when I denied homicidal ideation and told him he was a quack. He yelled it as the nurse was pulling the monitor away from my bed. His dismissive attitude and unprofessional conduct compromised the patient-physician relationship. It was all BAD, it is as simple as that. I honestly cannot say one good thing about him. I only saw him twice but he made and cancelled multiple appointments throughout the day and I saw him LATE. UNACCEPTABLE! Even my nurse said he was horrible. The NP that was caring for me overrode this MOMO's recommendation and I was discharged to home at the end of the second day on the trauma floor. I have patients on the behavioural health unit I work on tell me that ER nurses and doctors as well as psychiatrists and CMH screeners lie about what they say all the time, I was skeptical regarding this possibility but now I know this definitely happens. What is way more common though is the patients telling me that ER staff tell them they can either get out after 72 hours or they can leave whenever they want. Then once they get on the unit they find out the truth. This is exactly what happened to me. I was told I would leave the next day after a MRI was performed but this was not the case. This experience has made me change my specialty in nursing as I refuse to work for a behavioural health unit, I do not want to be any part of the broken mental health system in this country. You have been warned.

He is very patient and you can tell how knowledgeable he is. He's always looking into new research and maintains to stay up to date with all his specialties. He doesn't make you feel rushed, endures you feel comfortable, and doesn't downplay /disregard your concerns. He doesn't speak degradingly (which is something I experienced with past psychiatrists) and his staff, Shalon, is absolutely wonderful. She's able to accommodate that I'm bad at phone calls so she takes the time to answer and send reminders to my email. She's so sweet. By far the best doctor visit that I feel most comfortable with all around.

His field does not require customer service skills, so for those who thinks he's rude he's doing…read morehis job as a doctor; he's there to diagnose, and not to socialize. Of course, his office is probably the only one who accepts my insurance; however, I feel comfortable telling him everything and he does what he feels is needed- I trust his judgement. He is strictly prescription, but he won't give up until he is able to help you. I've personally never had a bad experience with his method, so for those of you who are sensitive do your research first before you make an appointment and waste your money on a 'bad experience'. Just keep in mind that you're there to helped.

Dr. Puszkarski is by far the rudest doctor I've ever had the displeasure of visiting. On the fist…read morevisit he made it clear he just prescribes the medicine, takes the money, then pushes you out of the door. Then I called three days straight to inquire about a refill and no one would answer so I left a voice message. Finally on a Saturday I called again and the receptionist put me through to him. He was so condescending and rude to me. As I asked him a question he answered rudely then hung up. I called back to finish my statement (and apparently to continue listening to his attitude) and he yelled at me that he was with a patient and didn't have time for this. The conversation I had with him was all of one minute and I would have been fine being told to call back. At this point, I decided to speak with him in the same rude tone I was enduring and told him I would be finding a new doctor. He then yelled at me that that was fine and he wasn't going to refill the prescription. Seems like a doctor can't just not refill out of anger, but I'm sure not about to wait around and find out. I'm contacting the medical board and I hope you learn from my experience and find you a good doctor. Don't go here. It's not worth it on any level.
