Dr. Podrazik , while very professional, is extremely easy to talk to, and very thorough. I appreciate that she is considerate and understanding. It is very difficult to find physicians that are as caring, intelligent, and patient as she is.

She practically shamed me for opting out of birth control. She said “so you’re trying for a baby” and then laughed (It was not a question, but a statement). I said I’m not trying but I’m not not trying. She said “well to me if you’re not using birth control then you want a baby”. Honestly Karla I don’t care what it seems like to you. I should mention that my appointment had nothing to do with birth control or pregnancy and I’m 31 years old. She also just has awkward bedside manner and she makes you feel stupid. I feel sad because I’ve been going to her for three years but I’m completely ready for a new doctor

Excellent
Very professional and satisfactory.
Dr. Podrazik is very easy to talk to and has an amazing bedside manner. She makes me feel at ease and listens to my concerns, I highly recommend Dr. Podrazik.
I met her for the 1st time that morning approximately 45 minutes after I called for an appointment. She was very professional, and was right on with my problem and sent me to the emergency room right away and requested a CT screening - which confirmed her findings. I was admitted that evening and spent 3 days in the hospital - I believe her quick action prevented my infection from being much worse. I hadn't realized how serious my infection was. I thank her.
Dr. Podrazik is very thorough and concerned. She has good follow up and keep my rheumatologist in the loop regarding my care.
Dr. Podrazik is a great doctor. She is knowledgeable, caring, listens to my concerns, goes out of her way to be helpful in cases of emergency, and puts me at ease when I present her with health issues that I, or my husband, might be experiencing - - thus far, she has always had a solution. I would recommend her, but would not want to see her so busy that she no longer has time to continue being a great doctor. People who are good at what they do often become overloaded with more responsibilities.
DR is very pleasant, listens to you and does not rush the visit, very personable and caring, I love her as my doctor and hope to keep her along time
