Other ignorant doctors had prescribed OxyContin for 6-1/2 years needlessly after I had a stroke. All opioids cause severe osteoporosis and this is what caused my leg to break. He didn't know this and wanted me to do weight-bearing exercises immediately. He didn't believe me until I told him to look it up on the National Library of Medicine's website. When he found the truth, he said "oh, I learned something today." Well, why didn't he learn this in medical school? If I had followed his advise, my leg would have broken again.

I originally called Dr. Janczyk for what ended up later being a misdiagnosed hernia by Henry Ford…read moreHospital. Then I ended up in the hospital with severe pancreatitis right before my consult with him. When I went to cancel he so kindly offered to take out my gallbladder and also was the only one in my 3 years of searching for answers to diagnose my "hernia" pain as a large endometrioma. That alone was worth seeing him for! He did a fantastic job on my surgery, took the time to speak to me and my husband prior and answer questions. His office staff have been genuine, kind and helpful. I'm so thankful to him for helping me.

I had a very unpleasant experience with Dr Janczyk during my first encounter with him as a patient…read more I am a doctor myself butI went to him for hernia consultation. He had poor bedside manners. He belittled other doctors and he undermined my genuine concern. I asked him if he would be doing my surgery in entirety by himself or if there are residents/trainees involved since I do not wish the residents or fellows to do any surgery on me. I understand teaching hospital and I understand training but in this particular surgery I did not wish trainees to work on me. I am scared of robots and it's personal. He could have said sorry my trainees depend on me to teach them and all patients of mine have trainees experience. I would have said thank you but no thanks and left. But instead he started using cutting remarks and mocking my intelligence as well as my concern.He said " residents come and go. It's not that I would leave to have tea with one of your colleagues while residents are doing surgery ". All I wanted was him to tell me if it was possible to not have any trainee at the console of da Vinci robot during the length of the surgery because I as a patient am not comfortable otherwise. Was I asking for too much? And he could have said no and we would have parted ways and I would look for another surgeon. But he had to be sarcastic and demeaning.

Unsafe practice without designated anesthesia…read more A family member was scheduled for oral surgery. Upon meeting Dr Christopher Sanker, we were informed that his plan was to perform surgery while simultaneously providing deep sedation or general anesthesia alone, without a separate qualified anesthesia provider. As a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist licensed in the state of Michigan, I find this practice is extremely unsafe. According to Michigan Administrative code Rule 338.11601, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon aka OMS can legally and technically do both in Michigan, the standard of care leans toward having a second qualified individual, sedation trained assistant or anesthesiologist. Realistically, it is impractical and likely non-compliant with safety standards. Additionally, I noticed there was no emergency airway equipment readily available inside the surgical suite. We opted to cancel the surgery and find a safe alternative. It is just a matter of time before there is a bad outcome because of this unsafe practice. Double billing for both the surgical procedure and administering anesthesia is illegal in most cases. He seems to circumvent the legality by only accepting cash payment for the anesthesia services Typically, a single provider--like an oral and maxillofacial surgeon cannot "double bill" for both the surgical procedure and anesthesia services they personally provide during the same session under most insurance frameworks. An OMS, trained in both surgery and anesthesia, might argue they are performing two distinct roles. However, insurance companies typically view this as one provider delivering a single service unless a second qualified individual (e.g., an anesthesiologist) is involved and billed separately. Anesthesia billing is typically time-based (e.g., base units plus time units), while surgical billing is a flat fee. If the same provider tries to bill both, insurance companies may question why anesthesia time isn't already covered in the surgical fee, especially for procedures where anesthesia administration is standard (like in oral surgery). If an OMS performs a wisdom tooth extraction and administers general anesthesia themselves, they'd bill the surgical code (e.g., CPT 41899 or D7210) but not a separate anesthesia code. The fee for the procedure assumes they're managing all aspects, including sedation or anesthesia. But this seems to be exactly what Dr. Christopher Sanker is doing... Illegal? Quite possibly... Unethical? Most definitely!
