- Yelp: Generally low (often 1.3 - 1.7 stars out of 5 across multiple listings) (Accumulated from over 100+ reviews across specific local business listings)
Patients praise
- High patient satisfaction regarding individual rheumatology specialists (e.g., listening skills, compassion, knowledge)
- Professional and patient-focused staff interactions reported in individual provider reviews
- High scores in independent patient surveys regarding provider respect and communication
Common complaints
- Difficulty with communication and slow response times to patient inquiries
- Concerns regarding diagnosis and treatment management, including a notable lawsuit alleging medical malpractice
- Frustration with corporate policies perceived as bureaucratic or dismissive of individual patient needs
"Dr. Zawidniak is a excellent physician. He listens to all of my concerns & worries about my rheumatoid arthritis. He understands the pain that I'm going through & he is very compassionate with me."
— Hartford HealthCare Medical Group official provider page (Verified Patient Review)"It is extremely difficult to get a nurse or provider to return a call, and patient concerns simply don't seem to be a priority. It's disappointing and disheartening to see such a large healthcare system fail to meet even the most basic standards if communication and responsiveness."
