I''ve said it before: I''m 77 years old and Dr. Hanicak is the best doctor I have ever had and it''s not close. He is empathetic and includes the patient in all decisions. He truly cares about you as a person. He is also excellent at diagnosis. I could not be more pleased. If it were possible, I would give him a 10 (a 5 score just doesn''t do it!).
