"Degree to which the provider cared for you as a person" This question is not actually something that can be answered by people outside of themselves. A better question would be "degree to which (you feel) the provider cared for you as a person".

Dr Ciolek was very compassionate, kind and caring. He was very thorough in explaining different procedures and completely answered all questions. I feel very confident with him

Reviewed on May 15, 2023

Dr Ciolek really helped with wether or not to have rhinoplasty revision. He explained specific factors such as skin thickness so I came to the realization that my vision was unrealistic. I appreciate the time he spent talking with me. I was able to share thoughts that I haven't shared with anyone close to me in a professional setting without feeling judged or foolish. I came away more confident in being happy with my nose as it is.
