Chad E. Szymanski, DO

This is the way healthcare is SUPPOSED to be - a caring thorough doctor giving you time each visit and working year-over-year to prevent issues before they get rolling. Yes, there is a fee, but you are saving thousands avoiding the morass of healthcare dystopian bureaucratic nightmares (not to mention the time suck) that await when you don't have a physician that sees your whole individual picture. Immediate result from tests provided, outside-the-box thinker, who will work with you to find what works and be honest about what doesn't. Dr. Szymanski and his staff are fabulous. Highly highly recommend.

Dr. Szymanski is a very caring,understanding,patient doctor. I can’t say enough about Dr. Szymanski he is so thorough and really takes care of me every time I have a problem. I have been a patient of Dr. Szymanski for many years and recommend highly.

Chad is the kind of medical professional I have always wanted. Helps me understand what is going on, spells out various ways to move forward, and supports my decisions. Well informed, and a pleasure to work with. His new practice allows me to exchange texts with him as needed. SO helpful.

Dr. Szymanski is an outstanding doctor. He is always available when needed and he is very attentive to the needs of his patients. I feel fortunate to have him as my doctor.

I have been with Dr. Szymanski for many years. His service was always awesome. With this new opportunity to stay with him as my Dr. in his new practice (MDVIP) it has enhanced my health care tremendously. His kindness, caring and professionalism is excellent. As my health is the most important part of life, having this service will only enhance and educate myself on preventing illness in the future. Thank you Dr. for caring!

Dr. Szymanski has been my doctor for 20 plus years. Dr Szymanski is very easy to talk to, very through and cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a new doctor Dr. Szymanski comes highly recommended.

I have had Dr. Chad as my personal physician for over 12 years now and I would follow him anywhere. He is the best. Very knowledgeable and patient. Always takes the time to answer my many questions. He is very thorough. You would be wise to make him your personal physician! Trust me!

I got pink eye called this doctors office looking into becoming a new patient with having insurance the woman that answered told me their is a fee to become a patient this office isnt a good choice to go to for medical attention

Good personality covers lack of Dr. analytical skills..,
e.g1., bone on bone knee xrays and told to do deep knee bends to build the muscles up...not to mention damaging knee further. Just one of many issues when really examined.
eg2, kept Rxing XANAX and bumping dose up even though he knows its effect diminishes and getting off the drug is horrible. Needed other less addictive/nasty solutions presented

Dr. Szymanski is the best. It’s nice going in for a physical and having a Doctor spending time with his patients. I like the idea that I can contact him on his cell phone. I have never had such a thorough examination from any physician like this. Dr. Szymanski spent a lot of time explaining the Blood test results and answered all my questions.

Dr. Chad is remarkable with his independent thinking. Instead of putting bandaids on issues with writing scripts, he gets to the root of the problem. You get what you pay for. Worth every dollar.

Since this office became part of Primary Care of WNY, it has been a truly miserable experience. They are severely understaffed and I will be finding a new doctor.

I’ve seen Dr.Szymanski for several years now, and he’s the most consistently wonderful doctor I’ve ever had. He always listens intently, and allows me to ask questions without condescending me like many doctors have done in my past. His new practice makes things really convenient, as i can contact him directly and let him know what’s going on with any health concerns I’m having. The new physical office I’ve only been to once, but it’s very nice and just feels more personal than your average office overall. Very thankful to have Dr.Szymanski! He provides care and an experience within the practice that
is worth the fee.

I don’t know about his medical experience but when I called to ask about new patients they said he did take my insurance but he also charged 2200 a year out of pocket for a wellness program that was not standard practice so be aware of this extra fee before you call!

Dr.Chad is a Great Communicator and explained all the tests and the results of those tests. I am Looking forward to a long Healthy relationship with him and his staff. He takes the time to get to know you personally . I am Very happy He is my Dr.

Dr. Szymanski and his staff are exceptional. I appreciate the fact that I can email, call, or text anytime I have a question or need help. I highly recommend him and the MDVIP program!

I have been a patient of Dr. Chad Szymanski for roughly 12 years, his compassion accompanied with his knowledge and commitment to exceptional care is by far the best in his field. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new primary care physician, Dr.Chad takes time to explain results and listens attentively to your concerns. You are definitely not just a "number" with Dr. Chad!!

The patient portal is a godsend - they always reply very promptly!

Don’t recall ever having a more thorough exam. You really get what you pay for. He took the time to really explain the tests and results, went over options not just tried to write a prescription. I can’t say enough about my experience. Glad I finally found a Dr that returns calls and takes the time
to fit me in when I need it. My health is not something I’m going to cut corners on. Highly recommend Dr Chad.

I highly respect and enjoy my visits with Dr Szymanski. Never have I felt so secure a Physician is genuinely watching out for my wellness.

Dr Szymanski has always provided my extended family and I the best care. Now that he is part of MDVIP, it’s easier than ever to get an appointment, to get an answer to portal questions, and to refill Rxs. He and his staff are friendly and caring. The MDVIP concierge medicine membership charge is well worth it to me.

Always have positive visits, Dr S listens to my concerns and offers options that work for me. Doesn't push unnecessary treatments, yes occasionally there is a bit of a wait but worth it. I have been to other doctors that don't have half the professionalism this office has.

After working 32 years minimum 6 days a week with plant exposure. My health is extremely important. Retiring with three major surgeries( both knee replacements, open heart surgery) in 11 months, The importance of having personalized medical attention is priceless. It's like having a doctor in the family. During a checkup Dr. Chad questioned my blood work with the cardiologist that had me on multiple cholesterol meds, after a four bypass open heart surgery. My cholesterol was too low, the cardiologist agreed to reduce medication. To be able to text Dr. Chad to ask questions about my health or medications at any time is unmeasurable. At a time where there are unknown viruses, health issues, The best investment that you can make is in your health.

Dr S is wonderful always response to my emails on the patient portal. Was in the ER on a Sunday morning and he called me on Monday asking how I was feeling. He's a popular Dr hard to get appointments with him he's usually booked out a few weeks but worth it..

Dr. Chad has been my primary for over 20 years. I followed him to WNY Primary and followed again when he went to MDVIP. Always personable and professional. He takes the time to ask questions and listens to my answers. He always gets back to me in a timely manner whenever I have an issue. When I needed to see him I called that morning and he made time for me before noon. I can't recommend Dr. Chad enough.

Dr Szymanski is a caring and terrific doctor. Always gives his all to patients.

I've been a patient of Dr. Szymanski's for over 7 years. When he told me he was going out on his own with MDVIP, I was excited. This meant he would have few patients and more time for each of his patients. I get access to him whenever I need it. I can call or text with him questions or concerns and he responds right away.

Every appointment, I get to sit and speak with Dr. Szymanski and he takes as much time as needed to make sure all of your questions and concerns have been addressed. His staff is always friendly and courteous! Since I've started seeing Dr. Szymanski, my wife and in-laws have also become patients and are just as happy as I am.

I was a patient for about 5 years. I view modern medicine as only half of the whole picture when it comes to human health, and I am a fairly healthy person, so I didn't necessarily put a strong value on my primary doctor. If you are someone who does have a strong dependency on your primary doctor then I would not recommend this office. At times, it has taken me over a half hour to get in touch with someone. The staff displays a minimal amount of service/care towards patients.
I was not able to make my last appointment due to the blizzard that we had last month and shortly after I received a letter asking me to find a new practice within 30 days. Granted, I had had a previous "no-show" in the last year, I do not think that given the blizzard circumstances that this missed appointment should have reflected negatively. They also sighted several "cancellations" as having a negative impact however it was never communicated to me that canceling with more than 24hrs notice was a problem. Had I known I would have declined the several appointments that were asked to be scheduled that I did not feel were necessary. Those that which, quite honestly, came off more like "office visit grabs." Ex. After having routine blood work done being asked to come in just to be told that everything looks great. Literally, that was the conversation and the doctor was out within seconds. Also, after requesting a lower dosage of medication that I've previously been on and done fine with, being asked to come in instead of just prescribing the lower dosage. Increased dosage makes sense for an office visit, but I do not see that value when lowering when I've been on this dosage before, and recently.
At best, I had a disconnected experience, and felt more like a member of a herd of cattle rather than a patient and felt pressure to "play the medical game" in order to receive the small level of care that I required.
I've recently visited a new office and had an completely different experience where over 20 minutes were taken to have an in depth discussion about my medical history and had an engaging conversation about how to stay focused on my health going forward.
Ultimately, all though the circumstances surrounding my change in primary doctors did annoy me, I am very glad that it transpired.

Dr. Chad is an excellent provider, and so is his staff. I highly recommend him for any and all of your medical needs.

Dr Chad is a gem. It's nice to have such and knowledgeable and thorough doctor who is actually available when you need him. If you are in the market for a doctor look no further!!

Exceptional Care and Genuine Concern

Having been with my previous healthcare provider for nearly 20 years, I recently switched to Dr. Szymanski's practice after feeling dissatisfied with the direction of my care. The decision to change stemmed from a lack of personalized attention and a growing sense of disconnect between my concerns and the approach to my treatment. However, since my transition to Dr. Szymanski's care, I've experienced a remarkable difference that I feel compelled to share.

From the moment I stepped into Dr. Szymanski's office, I knew I was in good hands. The atmosphere exuded warmth and professionalism, setting the stage for an exceptional experience. What struck me immediately was Dr. Szymanski's willingness to listen and truly understand my perspective. Unlike my previous experiences, where I often felt like just another appointment on the schedule, Dr. Szymanski took the time to engage with me, discussing my concerns and involving me in decisions regarding my care.

My first appointment with Dr. Szymanski was nothing short of enlightening. It was evident that he was invested in my well-being, going above and beyond to ensure that I received the best possible care. The appointment was lengthy, but far from tedious; instead, it was incredibly informative, leaving me with a deeper understanding of my health and treatment options. What truly stood out was Dr. Szymanski's genuine concern for my well-being. It was clear that he wasn't just focused on managing my current state but was also dedicated to preparing me for a healthier future.

One aspect that distinguishes Dr. Szymanski from other healthcare providers is his commitment to each patient's individual needs. It's not about rushing through appointments to see as many patients as possible but rather about maximizing the care and attention given to each person, regardless of the time it takes. This approach fosters a sense of trust and reassurance, knowing that my health is being prioritized above all else.

In conclusion, I am immensely grateful to have found Dr. Szymanski. His dedication to providing personalized, high-quality care is truly commendable. Thanks to his expertise and genuine compassion, I feel confident that I am on the right path to better health. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Szymanski to anyone seeking a healthcare provider who truly cares about their patients' well-being.

Dr Szymanski and his team are amazing! The MDVIP Business model is incredible and really takes your health care to a new level. I never have to wait, I am never rushed, and the team is incredibly responsive. This has been such a great experience that we were able to help my dad join the practice and he said Dr Szymanski has changed his life. I high recommend Dr. Szymanski to help you work on your overall health and longevity.
