Best provider I have had in a long time, I have only seen her once but completely trust her
Dr. Bogacz addressed my direct questions about narcotic pain medication, my unintended addiction (my description of her diagnosing me with dope sickness' as described by me about my symptoms of how I feel when I don't take the narcotic painkiller on my day off from work. I did not realize that this is what addiction felt like and she in a way that I could relate it to the information I already had. She also offered me a few different things I can do to address it. She made sure to tell me it's nobody's fault, but it is just the way it is as medicine is known in today's world. She explained that no one can predict with any accuracy how an Individual's brain is going to react to a narcotic. I always thought it was an original feeling of being high' and the subsequent chase of that high until you are abusing the drug. It was definitely eye opening and a bit scary for me to know I have an addiction to something I am very careful about using (when, where, why, and how much). Not even my pain management doctor has helped me understand this. Anyway, I tell this lengthy comment because of how much a person can tell that Dr. Bogacz truly cares for her patients and is knowledgeable in even specialty care subjects or will research and find that information out. I've seen many care providers and she definitely a keeper. Thank you listening to my comments.
I am so comfortable with Dr Bogacz. I know she cares about everything when it comes to my health and well being.
Dr. Bogacz has been my provider for quite some time and as long as she is in practice, I will continue to be her patient. She is caring, kind and listens to me when I have concerns.
Dr. Bogacz is the best internist I've ever seen. I have never had a physician to actually take the time to go through my medical history and really care about my condition(s).
Dr. Bogacz discussed my situation and concerns with me for quite a while and I felt a lot better after my appointment. She showed genuine concern and offered lots of common sense advice for how I could deal with some of the challenges I was facing at the time. I'm very grateful and heartened to feel that I have her and the rest of the staff at my disposal to assist with any issues I may have in the future.
