Highly Professional and Comprehensive Care:
I had my first visit with this dermatologist today for a full skin cancer screening and to address a few other concerns. He was incredibly thorough, made me feel completely comfortable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive doctor.

Dr. Walczyk carefully listened to my not entirely clear problems after a vascular surgery. He understood my situation very well and explained the difference between truly important health issues and the discomforts that are unavoidable but can at least be eased. I had chafing in the groin and surrounding areas. He prescribed soothing treatments that worked immediately. I can only regret that I didn’t think to see a dermatologist earlier and didn’t find him right after the surgery, as I suffered unnecessarily for three weeks with discomfort in sensitive areas. A friendly, kind doctor with a calm sense of humor. Recently, unfortunately, I’ve had many medical visits with different specialists, but this one left me with the best impression. Marcin S.
