Great first impression - shook my hand, looked me in the eye - very pleasant. I had to do a biopsy of my thyroid and that involves sticking a needle into the neck multiple times so, needless to say, I was a little nervous. However, after Dr Ciecko took the time to explain everything going on and answered every question I had, I felt a lot more comfortable. Dr Ciecko is extremely knowledgeable and didn't rush through any of his responses. Amazingly, he did 3 passes of the needle with only a numbing spray and I didn't even flinch - it wasn't a zero but he talked to me and explained exactly what he was doing so that distracted me enough for it to be a very mild amount of discomfort. Dr Ciecko is a true professional and I trust him completely after this interaction. I can understand why everyone who sees him loves him. Re read more
