Dr. Pruzansky is always professional and thorough. I have seen him for two different issues with my hands and he's always treated me with the best care.
More than 1 year agoVictor D.Verified patient
This is my first time to use this app. Dr. Pruzansky is very Knowledgable about my situation. He listen and explain to me about my condition and gave me the proper treatment. He is also very understanding about my little fear of needles when he gave me my cortisone shot . The x-ray technician was very kind and emphatic.
All in all it was a good experience!
Except the wait and the 4 pages of paper work . Which was hard for me to fill up, since I was there for a trigger finger consultation.
February 4, 2020Riley S.Verified patient

Decent doctor, seemed pretty thorough. I also appreciate that he’s a modern MD and that part of the check in process is through clicking on the iPad. I’m going back to him, so far so good.

February 13, 2019Mahmod M.Verified patient
It seems Jason Pruzanski neither understands simple etiquette HIPAA laws, nor does he posess what is inherent in most, empathy. --all directly related to true professonalism that I've frequently encountered elsewhere in his field.iI'm very disappointed that I had to go to him (an emergency. As a result, I've had to go to have my injury treated and have told friends to avoid going to him
