"Dr. Wlodarek was very helpful in reviewing the MRI of my brain and pointed out all the necessary areas of the imaging that were of concern. He was willing to spend enough time with me to explain things fully and to answer the list of questions that I had brought with me. I felt he was very competent and reassuring."

"Dr. Wlodarek had terrible bed side manner. He was reviewing my MRI and giving me my results in a such a cold manner as if he did not care. I expressed some of my health history and he said "I don't care about any of that" in those exact words. I recall it vividly because I left the office crying. I am now looking for a different provider through a different network."
