I have been to High Pointe three times now: for two spinal shots and one spinal surgery at C5-C6…read more All three times, the experience has been exceptional - from the welcome I received upon check-in to my departure. The nursing staff and medical team are collectively well-qualified, compassionate, and professional. They thoroughly explain the procedure, what to expect, and the proper after-care at home. For my most recent procedure, the spinal surgery, I was impressed with how well the IV was inserted. Normally, phlebotomists have difficulty with IVs and drawing blood since I have rolling veins. Not so in this case! It was probably one of the easiest times I've ever had one done and there was little pain. The anesthesiologist asked a comprehensive number of questions and ensured that I felt comfortable going into surgery. Since I was having surgery on my neck and the normal way to put in a breathing tube would have cause additional stress on my neck (and ultimately pain, even if I couldn't feel it during surgery), he went out of his way to determine a way to insert a breathing tube effectively and without causing pain. I didn't ask that he do this. He did this on this own which shows his commitment to compassionate care and doing no harm to patients. The surgeon did a phenomenal job on the spinal surgery! After I had been dealing with a pinched nerve in the C5-6 region for 11 months, he was able to correct it during the surgery! He removed part of the vertebrae and noted that the nerve "popped up" immediately - exactly the result that was needed. Immediately after the surgery, I had NO PAIN OR NUMBNESSS in my left arm and hand. After living with the pain and numbness for 11 months, it felt surreal to go about the rest of my day without even a minutest amount of pain in my left arm or hand. The pain in my neck (where the surgical site was) is sore, but that's expected and I was told to expect it since muscles and tissues would be moved around, and part of the vertebrae removed. The appropriate amount of medication was prescribed and is able to address the pain. High Pointe followed up with me the day after my surgery to check on me. I gave an update and had a couple of questions for the nurse. She was able to answer my question quickly. I would high recommend High Pointe for anyone considering surgery by one of the providers. The experience far exceeded my expectations!

If a surgery center receives anything but a five star rating, you should be scared. Very scared. Fortunately, I didn't have to be. Being clean and well kept for a medical facility goes without saying. But the staff was very friendly and put you at ease. I wasn't very scared of going into surgery, but I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't at all apprehensive. It is surgery after all, even if it is miles away from any vital organs. Any number of things can go wrong. And the staff there was all smiley and joked around with me to help disperse some of that apprehensiveness. (One of the receptionists was a Vikings fan and made a comment about my Vikings sweatshirt. We had some fun poking fun at our next door rivals.) You had a private stall to get ready and whoever was there with you was allowed to see you just before they took you away. I remember being sprawled out on a surgery table with arms out much like Neo was in the last Matrix movie. It was kind of surreal and very Holy-like. I don't remember much of the recovery area as I only woke up briefly to mumble that I felt nauseous. I didn't feel like I said it very loud, but I heard some nurses scrambling to page a doc to see if they could give me some medicine for it, so either I said it louder than I thought, or the nurses were very attentive. Surgery didn't turn out to be that big of a deal to me other than not reacting well to general anesthetic. With that said, I don't care to repeat it anytime soon. But if I end up back at High Pointe, I'll certainly feel better that I'm in good hands.

My husband had gone to Dr. Szachowicz some time ago and could not say enough good things about the experience or the results. I took his recommendation and the results have exceeded both my expectations and my hopes. Dr. Szachowicz spent considerable time with me to make sure that he understood my motivations and goals. He explained alternative approaches so that I could make a knowledgeable decision. Together agreed on a plan best suited to my goals and physiology. He took pains to make sure that I understood each step of the process and that I knew how to perform aftercare to facilitate healing. He took great care to make sure that any discomfort from the procedure was as minimal as possible. Dr. Szachowicz and Victor Rivera, his office manager, have created a soothing and intimate environment. Appointments are scheduled so that we rarely even glimpsed another patient. We rarely waited even a few minutes before Dr. Szachowicz was ready to see me. Victor made us feel welcome at each visit, appearing more as a host to honored guests than as an office manager. Throughout the process, Dr. Szachowicz and Victor were respectful and gracious to a fault. As we reach the conclusion of my plan of care, we feel we have made friends. Before my procedure, I was so self-conscious about my eyes that I found it difficult to meet new people and to look directly at people when I spoke to them. As a result of the procedure Dr. Szachowicz performed with such skill, I am once again able to meet people with confidence. Thank you Dr. Szachowicz and Victor!

I had seen Dr. Szachowicz a few months back regarding my melasma and was looking to get a fraxel…read moredual laser treatment in which he refused to perform the service and recommended that I start on OBAGI Nu-Derm System instead. I wasn't ready to invest in the skin care at that time with the hefty price tag that came with the kit system. I reached out to the place a few days ago and was told that I would need to get a second consultation in which I felt was unnecessary since I had already seen the doctor a few months ago. I voiced my opinion stating that it was pointless to have a second consultation to only be told the same information from the first consultation in which nothing in my skin had changed. Victor told me that it would be a free second consultation if I purchased the products otherwise it would be $125 just for the consultation alone. I also voiced that I would be purchasing the products but not right away as I needed to consult with the husband regarding the steep price of the OBAGI products. Victors response was very snotty and very unprofessional in which he replied back stating that the relationship was not good based on my comments and for me to take my business somewhere else. How can a place turn someone away for only speaking the truth and handled the situation so poorly? The vibe from this place from the beginning only made me feel like they only care about your money and that they were too good for everyone else! Thank you for showing your true colors because I surely wouldn't want to do business with a place who are unprofessional and don't know how to handle the slightest criticism, more so, can I say cant handle the truth! If you truly care about your patients, you wouldn't have never replied back all snotty like you did in the email. This place is horrible and I would rather take my money and business somewhere else where I am valued and treated with respect and valued.

We had had an amazing experience in the past with Complex Care for my youngest child before she…read morepassed. When we went in for my son we tried a new doctor. She told us she could handle my son's conditions even though they were complex. We were also supposed to be part of a pilot program. We were able to get help one time when he was ill, but other than that we were ghosted. When I asked for more support the provider was concerned because he was "complex". She claimed not to understand his conditions. What happened was she was giving incorrect information to his providers and probably confusing him with another patient. I asked to be transferred to another doctor in the department since my son was enjoying working with them. My son was discriminated against and not offered that option. His voice was not heard in his own health care needs. The provider was rude and told us he was "too complex" for complex care. She was quick to push us out of the system into another system against my son's wishes. I once again asked to see another doctor as all my "complex child" needs is a handicapped parking pass, someone for me to troubleshoot with, and to email doctors and a check in every six months. Which at the end of the day isn't asking a lot of this doctors and nurses in complex care. I am concerned we were pushed out due to the fact that we are a neurodiverse family and the provider didn't seem to be able to understand how to relate to us. My son is crushed. He is not really interested in the new provider and his trust in Gillette looking out for him is shattered. I attempted to reach out and explain again for him, but received a certified letter that bordered on being openly hostile to our family and disrespectful to people of diverse disability and ethnic backgrounds. I did not show him the letter. I don't know how to explain to him that he has been abandoned and that the only thing complex care knew how to do was bill our insurance. I wish the provider would have been honest from the beginning about not being able to handle my son's needs. It's OK to say "I don't know". She did attempt to get him palliative care services and we do appreciate that. We also will miss the nurse we had there as well. I do wish that Gillette would be more transparent with what they can do so people like my child don't get burned.
