Primarily, Dr Macek has, used his rare abilities and motivations to bring no prejudices to our initial interactions today. He immediately adapted to the individual that I am, without astoundingly without prejudice. Dr Macek adapted to my intellect, my education, my professional vocabulary - so that our physician/patient relationship was immediately on the est initial platform we could communicate from. And this, between he, Dr [last name], Dr [last name] and I, (- present-for-all, my highly intelligent and highly educated husband, [spouse's first name]) . . . . . . made for a Most Valuable and medically productive appointment. I am very pleased to have been matched with Dr [last name]. I look forward to the productivity of our further interactions, and learning more about my current troubling [diagnosis] concerns .

Dr. Macek has excellent bedside manner, is knowledgeable and extremely clear when sharing information (without needing to be prompted especially in situation where ‘I don’t know what I don’t know given this is my first pregnancy’). He is very reassuring and would give recommendations on the dos and don’ts. Dr. Macek is compassionate, understanding, and caring. I can tell he is detailed when reviewing his patient’s chart. He is very easy to talk to, takes the time to listen, and doesn’t make you feel like you are being rushed out of the room so he can get to his next patient.
