Ray Pienczkowski, PMHNP

Ray is professional, listens and is very easy to work with. He has never made me feel as if my thoughts weren’t considered. Extremely up front and transparent. I can see him saying no if he feels a course of action isn’t the best, but he always has options. Good guy. Good practice

Ray is a highly competent provider. I am a therapist and have used him several times in working with my clients who need medication. He may not be the most warm and fuzzy person, but that is not his job. His job is to make sure the patient has the best medication that helps the therapy they do with me work best. I appreciate his professional care and working closely with each client’s therapist to make sure the continuity of care is complete.

I saw Ray a few years back and I actually really enjoyed having him help me. He listened to me and took my concerns to heart. Now that my current doctor (insurance changed) is trying to track down my records its been difficult to get a hold of them but other than that no problems. I did however feel like the 15 minute time slot didn’t seem long enough for a psychiatric medication follow up. I saw him BEFORE he was in his own practice– not sure if maybe things changed from the look of the recent reviews, but I didn’t have any complaints and enjoyed seeing him a few years back.

First, I have to say I’m shocked at the negative reviews. I originally was treated by Dr. Pienczkowski prior his move to his private practice location. I was new to the world of therapy, but felt 100% concerned and cared about. After he left, I stopped going to the office. When I (mentally) realized I still need help, I went in search of his new location because his prior group gave me the ‘I don’t know where he went’, which I thought was BS and their way of trying to make me see someone new in their office. No thanks.
Upon seeing Dr. Pienczkowski, he again made me feel comfortable and safe, which is hard for a person like me who is used to helping others not having people help me. He is always very straight forward and concerned with my progress. So these horrible reviews are truly shocking.
I give the Dr 5 stars, but only put 4 stars because the receptionist is not the most responsive. IE this week, I called in the early am and then again in the pm on Monday to discuss rescheduling my apt (due to work mtg), I didn’t get a reply so I told my boss I would have to miss meeting. She called me mid-​am Tuesday (day of apt) and said she canceled my apt, after I tried to say I didn’t hear from her so I would keep the apt (so no cancel fee). She did put me in to see Dr two days later, so all worked out.
Again, reading the horrible reviews is truly shocking. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but (again) being someone not comfortable with the idea of ‘therapy’…I would refer him to every and any friend, family or co-​worker.

I visited Dr. Pienczykowski today for the first time and he was rude and unprofessional. I have never experienced such an awful interaction with a mental health professional. He was incredibly demeaning and unprofessional. I do not recommend him; if you’re looking for a good psychiatrist, I would advise you look elsewhere. Very unsatisfied with my experience.
