Most providers, working under the pressure of a Health System are so overworked, overbooked and metric-driven that they miss that key component. That is not the case here. Dr. Kadzielski and his staff are very warm, efficient and accommodating. Outcomes also matter of course, and Dr. K is a fantastic surgeon." ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ "I WISH I could give Dr. Kadzielski a TEN star rating!! I knew this doctor when he was a fellow at MGH, then ran into him later in life. He has worked on both my dad and my mom. And will be doing another surgery on my mom's other hand in a month. I would NOT go to anyone else!!! I have NEVER seen any physician with his skill, as well as his amazing bed side manner. When you are a patient of his, you become his family. We absolutely are so grateful for this man, and I urge anyone considering surgery to give his office a call! His staff are as incredible as he is, you won't be disappointed!" ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ "Dr. Kadzielski and all his support staff from the front office to the nurses to occupational therapy are all friendly, knowledgeable, professional and importantly, accessible. I've enjoyed top notch care at every turn in the practice. I had hand surgery 3 weeks ago and I have recovered well under their supervision. I would highly recommend them." ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ "Having this practice on the South Shore is truly amazing. I was able to get a same day appointment when I broke my finger, and Dr. Kadzielski has been very thorough and kind. [Meryl] has also been a wonderful OT.
