Rachel Piechowiak's Online Review Report Card

All you men out there with a large prostate (BPH) should seriously consider having a PAE procedure done by Dr. Piechowiak. I’m finally cured!;no more running to the bathroom at work or in the middle of night! This procedure is a life game changer and it truly has changed my quality of life for the better. Dr. P’s staff is so professional and caring. Layla explained everything to me in full detail about the PAE and answered all my questions. I cannot say enough about the remarkable work that Dr. P did in what seemed like just minutes. Before I knew it I was in recovery and on my way home. What an amazing Doctor! Within days I could see a noticeable difference and my stream just keeps getting better everyday. I’ve also noticed improvements in the bedroom; everything works fine with no problem whatsoever! I can’t thank Dr. P and her entire staff enough for a job well done!

My initial call with Dr. Piechowiak started a journey I label "beginning of the end" for my 2 decades plus of embarrassing lifestyle amongst family and friends for someone in his late 50's. Today 11/10/22 exactly marks six months after this PAE minimal invasive surgery to treat my BPH, and just what are the results? Trust me when I say I feel so comforted and "normal" like any other human person in his 20's or 30's when they have the urge and need to "Go", all due to the great work and professionalism of Dr. Piechowiak. Dr. Piechowiak, you are such a great caring doctor and if I overdid it in my complaints post the surgery (due to the long driving trip to Chicago I took 4-6 weeks after the surgery, please accept my apologies

I had a fantastic experience with a Highly Skilled Interventional Radiologist: Dr. Rachel Piechowiak. I had a condition that was greatly affecting my quality of life. The solution was for me to chose between a couple of surgical procedures or a nonsurgical procedure. I chose the nonsurgical procedure with Dr. Piechowiak and her team/staff. Her team was outstanding and took the time to explain the procedure and answered all of my questions. The day of the procedure the team explained what would be happening, before the procedure, during the procedure, and very helpful explaining what would happen during my recovery at home. Very reassuring and comforting. The procedure took about an hour with light sedation and went home after some time in recovery. I never experienced any pain. I saw improvement after 9-days… more improvement 20-days. I am Extremely satisfied with results so far (now four weeks) and will continue to see more improvement up to the 3-month to 6-month time peri

For the past decade, I have encountered many interruptions in my sleep due to going to the bathroom frequently. I thought that I was the only male with this problem. Now, I believe 8 of 10 males in my age group suffer the same problem. Of the 12 approved therapies, my urologist recommended Dr. Rachel Piechowiak to perform prostate arterial embolization. A month later, I could not be more pleased. For the past 3 nights, I have slept through the night without interruptions. Getting a good night sleep is paramount to good health. The procedure is very simple and the recovery is short. I was playing golf on the seventh day. Dr. Piechowiak is amazing and she is very compassionate to her patients. Her knowledge and expertise with this procedure is unbeatable. I could not have imagined, having a more positive experience for the procedure and outcomes have truly surprised me. Why suffer in silence, while looking for the nearest bathroom when there are excellent solutions available.

Dr. Piechowiak is an amazing radiologist. She performed the PAE procedure on my prostate. After only one month, I can see a difference. Although the optimal results are not expected for 3-5 months from now, I have had uninterrupted sleep for the past 3 nights. This has not happened for more than a decade. It is a miracle! I am looking forward to continual improvement over the next few months. Her team is fantastic and so positive to their patients. I highly recommend this team for this procedure.

I have pad and few procedures. Dr. P and the other staff has been wonderful and very thorough!
