At a time when I was feeling excessively disillusioned with the care I had been receiving and the medical establishment overall, I had the good fortune of finding Dr. Honzel. He recognized right away that I had been through a rather traumatic ordeal and took immediate steps to provide the appropriate care I needed. I will always be very grateful to him for that.
At 59 years old, having an excellent team of physicians in place to monitor my chronic health conditions is a priority for me. I value having dedicated medical specialists in my corner to work with me on addressing all of my healthcare needs. I seek out excellent communicators who aren't intimidated or annoyed by my challenging inquiries.
The weeks leading up to meeting Dr. Honzel, I learned firsthand that there are, in fact, limitations to how far some physicians are willing to extend themselves for their patient. When it comes right down to it, most doctors will first consider how it might affect them before offering their patient a better suited but less traditional treatment approach. If it might require more of their time or energy, they unapologetically would just as soon bail out of the situation altogether. One can not assume that a licensed medical doctor equals a selfless, caring person of integrity. That was a hard pill for me to swallow. The good news is that I now fully recognize how fortunate I am to have a doctor with convictions, courage, and integrity in my corner!
Secure in the knowledge he's gained through decades of working in his specialized areas of medicine, Dr. Honzel is the rare physician who will pursue the treatment option he knows is best suited for his individual patient despite how doing so may require more effort on his part. He actually cares that I've placed my trust in him as the professional who will do his best to help me in the most appropriate way possible- whatever that entails.
An outstanding support staff matters too! From the first phone call I made to the office at 4:58pm in early March 2021, to each encounter since then, I have experienced a sincere desire by the office personnel to provide the most efficient, thoughtful assistance possible.
I would be remiss if I did not share a specific characteristic I noticed about Dr. Honzel very early on... believe me when I say... timeliness is highly regarded in his office. Keep this tip in your back pocket and you'll thank me later. read more
