Lauren N. Hruszkewycz, MD

"Dr. H has been great. She is concerned with finding the cause of your issues, not just treating the symptoms."

"I have been sick for over a month and I had an appointment scheduled for 3:20 PM and was going to be more than 15 minutes late due to being stuck in traffic on 71 north. When calling Dr. H's office, I explained my situation and they told me that because I was going to be over 15 minutes late, I needed to reschedule. I asked them if they could make an exception since being stuck in traffic was out of my control and I have been ill for so long. They refused to let me make it to my appointment. When offering to reschedule, they didn't have an appointment for "weeks" until "December". Dr. H did a poor job of choosing her employees and Denise is beyond rude and disrespectful. Unfortunately, I will no longer be a patient in this office as the practice is by no means customer or patient-focused. I did not feel valued or as if my health matters to them at all."

"My daughter was unable to call for a quick question on an appointment with Dr. Hruszkewycz. I called to clarify appointment for her on a Friday morning and asked if the Dr. could call me back today - was a 2 min question. I was told I had to schedule an appointment as the Dr. is busy and the soonest they could talk to me was the following Thur at 4 in the afternoon - a week later. When I said I just have a quick non medical question about my daughters appointment with the Dr. that requires the Dr, versus a PA or nurse, they reiterated the Dr is very busy and doesn't return calls like this. The best part is that they told me I have to have a "precall" 30 min prior to my call with the Dr. to verify my call. Wow - don't go here if you want someone who cares - that was embarrassing."

"Terrible experience with this so called Dr! She literally LAUGHED MANIACALLY at my son when I told her his scalp was hurting and he was losing his hair at 12 years old! My son is also special needs! She would not give us a referral to a dermatologist or scalp specialist either! When I left I said I guess I will have to take him to specialist myself then. She laughed and said *go ahead, they won't find anything". Well, we never did go because we had no referral and the out of pocket expense was way out of my price range. He eventually lost all of his hair on top. This lady is very unprofessional and should not be in a profession with this attitude and especially with her obvious prejudice against those with special needs. Minus zero stars"

"(Please take this with a large grain of salt as this was written during the COVID-19 crisis.) For Dr. H. I would say it is important to become your own patient advocate. This means questioning everything with the utmost respect. Challenge what you feel isn't right for you. Use patience, as most doctors and other healthcare workers are doing the best they can based on what they see - in a very short slice of time. No one knows you, better than you. Keep a notebook with a list of your meds, OTC, and supplements; include a list of your other healthcare providers; and anything else medical related. Take time Before your appointment to write down what you need to address, even if you think it's not that important. Write it down. Make a bullet list. The doctors only see a tiny sliver of your life. They need information to make better informed decisions. If your doctor is not interested in hearing your concerns then find another one. There are LOTS of good, caring physicians and healthcare workers. I worked for one of the largest medical defense law firms in a southern state and I can honestly say there are far more good, caring healthcare workers than not. This doctor has accused me of selling my medication on the street and a second accusation I won't detail. I'm a man who does not drink, smoke, use fowl language, eat unhealthy, and most of all try to honor G_d in all that I do, think, and speak. This has been a good opportunity to practice forgiveness. I honestly think all doctors are on high alert for the misuse of prescription medications. And for good reason. So I want someone as bold as Dr. H. to risk slander and get in-my-face to make sure I am not another statistic. I think this doctor is incredibly knowledgeable but above that she is wise. I plan to continue as a patient and would recommend her to almost anyone. I hope this has been helpful."
