Staff is the best! Friendly and very helpful....Doctor nothing less than top notch - he gives you the time needed to address your concerns and the treatments provide tremendous relief. Office is beautiful and spotless. It's so refreshing to go to a doctors' office where the staff doesn't treat you like you're a nuisance, and the doctor is actually caring and not rushing to get to the next patient. A+

September 7, 2016Bruce C.Verified patient
Great experience all around. Dr. Macek's office staff and assistants were very professional and extremely friendly. Having recently relocated to the area, it was fantastic to find a practice that really made me feel, "home".... I am pretty picky and somewhat critical, too. No need to search any further, make an appointment, and you will be referring Dr. Macek and his clinic as well...

November 24, 2015Thomas M.Verified patient
I am very pleased with my initial consultation and first line of treatment with Dr. Macek. My visit from the start to finish was conducted in an efficient and most professional method. Even though my appointment was slotted into one of their busiest days, I was treated with patience and concern and not rushed or hurried in any way.

July 29, 2015Jennifer P.Verified patient
I felt very comfortable and secure in that I will be feeling much better very soon, and I love that Dr. Macek did not recommend unnecessary procedures right off the bat. It was a nice experience for a somewhat dreaded doctor's appt.!
June 9, 2014Catherine F.Verified patient
Doctor Macek is extremely compassionate and is a doctor that listens to his patients. The staff in the office where above my expectations for any doctors office!! Highly recommended!!!
September 18, 2013Dorothy H.Verified patient
Tom was great, but we had to fill out all the paperwork again there after we had already filled it out here at ZocDoc because they did not have a filled out copy there. Interesting they did not get or maybe could not print out a copy of what all we had filled out here, but Dr. Tom Macek was wonderful and we highly recommend him.
October 1, 2013James B.Verified patient
Dr. Macek was a professional physician that assisted my chronic pain syndrome. I would advise a lot of new patients to set an appointment with this physician!

I have seen more doctors than I care to, but Dr. Macek REALLY stands out! The office staff and doctor were a pleasure to deal with. Dr. Macek has a wonderful demeanor and took his time with me. He listened to everything and discussed multiple treatment options. He was open to alternative ideas and is not one of those doctors who just wants to write an rx and get you out of the office.
