Dr Mlynarek is hands down the best doctor experience we have had. From the initial visit (he took almost an hour with us to fully explain what will happen and what to expect) to all follow ups with him and Zach, always making us feel heard, and valued! Canâ€™t say enough good things about him and his staff.

11/12/2024

Excellent. There are people who go into the field of medicine and those who go in because their heart is in it and they are truly called to that place by the good Lord above and I believe Dr. MLYNAREK is there because his heart is fully in it.
