Dr. Patzkowsky is absolutely amazing. She made my first major surgery easy-answering any and all questions scientifically but also using relatable terminology. She also has an incredible bedside manner. I've already recommended her to a few friends and colleagues.

Dr. Patzkowsky is an amazing doctor she really takes the time to explain diagnosis to patients and options for treatment risk and benefits. In addition she gives anticipatory guidance surrounding future expectation ie. Screenings etc. I really appreciate her ""bedside"" manner even though I am a physician she clearly approached me as any other patient in regard to explaining things. This was very refreshing as I've had other experiences where other providers will say "" oh you're a doctor, you know"" which is not necessarily the best practice.

Dr.Patzkowsky is an excellent doctor. She listens to me and she explains things in basic terms to assure me of what's going on. She has a good memory considering I haven't seen here in almost 9 years. Very strong interpersonal skills and ability to connect with her patients.

Dr. Patzkowsky and her team provided me with a very thorough explanation about my disease. She was generous with her time and explained complex situation like a lecturer of Gynecology 101 (I mean this in a positive way, it was great!). I left the appointment with newfound understanding about my situation, but at the same time a complete trust in her approach for future treatment.

Dr. Patzkowsky is very kind, intelligent and exudes a lot of qualities and skills that other healthcare professional should strive towards. However, what stands out the most is the empathy she shows her patients, attention to details, and she provides patient centered care and not cookie cutter, one-size fits all care recommendations.
