Mark Pinkowski's Online Review Report Card

I was a patient of Dr. Pinkowski's many years ago. I had to change doctors due to my insurance was no longer accepted there. My mother, father, grandmother also were patients of his. (They are all deceased now.) He is the most kindest, understanding human I have ever met. His bedside manner is absolutely wonderful. He was great with my parents and grandmother. They all loved him. He is extremely intelligent, and keeps up with anything new in medicine. He really listens to what you have to say, and takes the time to talk to you, explain things, he will ask questions so he thoroughly knows and understands all about you and how to help you with what is ailing you. Dr. Pinkowski is and has been my hero for a long time now. He literally saved my child's life. I will forever be greatfull to him for that. I was pregnant with my youngest son, and I didn't know it but I was severely sick, dehydrated, I could not keep anything down without vomiting (including water) for 5 days straight. I was fading fast, and I was having severe muscle cramping all over my body and I started having contractions, I didn't know it but I was on the verge of miscarrying my baby. At the time, I did not realize how serious the situation was, I thought it was just normal morning sickness. When I got so weak I could barely walk or even stand on my own I decided to call my OB/GYN doctor. They told me that I was just having normal morning sickness and to eat crackers. The crackers did not help and I got so weak I actually thought I was going to die. So I decided to call my family doctors office, Dr. Pinkowski to see what he thought and if all this was normal or if I was really having a problem. The kind, concerned receptionist listened to what I had to say, then immediately went to go get the doctor to talk to me on the phone. He asked me to come in to see him asap. So I did, he examined me and said I needed to be admitted to the hospital immediately. So I and my hubby headed for the hospital. By the time I got there, Dr. Pinkowski was already there waiting for me. I was admitted and given a room. They hooked me up to IV's and within 20 minutes I started to feel better. All the while Dr. Pinkowski stayed with me to be sure I was going be ok. He came back to see me everyday I was in the hospital. During his visits he taught me how to keep myself hydrated, that if I can't keep water or fluids down, to eat jello, and to always have something to drink next to me, 24/7, and to take sips of the drink as often as I could, but only small sips. That tip helped keep the fluids down, and eased my morning sickness. He also put me on a special diet that was easy on the digestion so I could eat and keep the food down. He was wonderful. He went out of his way to create a special eating diagram for me and made up this special diet so I could eat and drink and stay healthy. My contractions stopped and I felt great on the new eating plan. I carried my baby to full term and had a healthy beautiful baby boy, all thanks to Dr. Pinkowski. There are not enough thank yous in this world I could say that would express my gratitude to that amazing man!! If he had not done what he did, I would have miscarried and my baby would have died. I would not have my son today. I tell my son all the time about how Dr. Pinkowski saved his life. My boy is 27 years old now, and he has personally thanked Dr. Pinkowski for taking such good care of his mother and for saving his life.!! I am wiping my tears away right now, I get very emotional everytime I think about what happened. Dr. Pinkowski is a true angel, and I truely believe he was sent by God to be a blessing to others. On my son's birthday every year, I pray to God and thank Him for Dr. Pinkowski and I ask God to pour out His abundant blessings upon him and his loved ones. So, in my opinion, absolutely no doubt Dr. Pinkowski "IS" the best doctor you could hope to find in this entire world.

At 61 years of age I've gone through more than a few doctors. Dr. Pinkowski is the best doctor I've ever had. He kept me alive through three bouts of bladder cancer, and five years of complications from bladder cancer surgery. He has been there for me and my wife through good times and bad. He takes the time to figure out what needs to be done, and takes a personal interest in all his patients. I've had him call me on a Sunday night to tell me he was calling in a prescription. BEST DOCTOR EVER!

He spent a lot of time with the elderly lady I brought in He followed up immediately on all of our requests.

Very detailed and professional. Nurse returns phone calls, but the rest of the staff do not. That part is annoying when you have urgent business pending and cannot get a callback. A few weeks ago I also attempted to get in touch with his office and actually could not get anyone to pick up a phone so after several days of this I made the trip to deliver information that was needed. Note to doctor...please instruct staff to answer phones and that they have their jobs because patients exist!

This doctor cares about his patients. He gives them as much time as they need, never rushes you out of the office.
