Please, Please, PLEASE read the review from Nicole. She covered the other details I have not regarding Dr. Olenczak low rating!!! I would not recommend Dr. Olenczak to my worst enemy. Finding a patient who has received the proper treatment from this Dr. is like finding the proverbial "Needle in a Haystack"
Most of the time, I take reviews by others on the internet with a grain of salt, whether it be cars, electronics, or doctors in this case.
1st, no matter what time you book your appointment to be seen you might as well add an extra 30 minutes or more to that time. I've been to many doctors over time and his wait time by far exceeds most other physicians. He hardly ever asks what procedures you've tried in the past and if they even worked for you! If you've had 10 injections into your back with little to no pain relief, you can be sure Dr. Olenczak is going to schedule that procedure for you AGAIN! Dr. Olenczak is all about the money and how can he squeeze the most out of each patient if they have had little success with procedure in the past.
In regards to the other user comment regarding the Dr. Olenczak being pushy, degrading, and impatient. They are 100% correct!! After your extended wait time in the patient area, you finally arrive to talk with him and you might have a total of 5 minutes to discuss all the issues. He offers no guidance, no explanation or stories of other patients that have similar conditions and what type of results they experienced with trying different procedures to help alleviate the pain.
You're the donkey and he's holding the carrot out in front of you leading you along as you become a better paying patient gradually giving you little tidbits of information regarding your condition every couple of visits.
2nd if you condition has changed or become worse, don't worry because Dr. Olenczak will take what you tell him and totally disregard what you just explained to him. Must move on to the next customer, time and money is a wasting. Don't worry though, if you decide to go back to him in a monthly follow-up, you can re-explain it to him again. Why would he care? He's not the one in pain!
Lastly, if you believe this rant is because it's just another disgruntled patient because they didn't get "meds" they wanted, then nothing is further from the truth.
This review was written for those people who are truly in pain and would like to protect other patients from the having to endure the treatment that we have received as prior patients. read more
