This was my second visit with Dr Czyrny (pronounced "Churny" if you ever need an appointment). If…read moreyou've ever had a nerve conduction study, you're probably cringing at the thought of having to have TWO of them done. But hang with me. The first time I saw Dr. Czyrny was before I had a spinal fusion surgery. My orthopedic surgeon sent me here prior to cutting into me. I didn't know what to expect and really didn't do any homework ahead of time. My ortho told me that I'd feel some "tingling" and some "slight shocking" feelings, but that was it. It honestly didn't sound too bad. I've got a few tattoos, so needles don't exactly scare me. I wish I could tell you more about that initial appointment, but I really don't remember that much about it. It was in 2015. Nothing really stands out. After a car accident in 2017, my shoulder specialist sent me to see Dr. Czyrny for a nerve conduction study because I was complaining of some shoulder pain that sounded a lot like a torn rotator cuff. He did some X-rays, an MRI, and then felt the nerve conduction study was important. I knew I had been before, but had forgotten what kind of adventure I was in for, so I did some homework this time. Holy crap! To say this scared the pants off me is an understatement! I watched videos and read reviews that had me so scared that I was ready to call the whole thing off. However, the morning of my appointment, I found my biggest & brightest pair of big girl undies and went into that appointment expecting a horrifying experience, but knowing I'd live to tell about it. As I sat in the waiting room, a calm feeling came over me when I started to think logically. This nerve conduction study was something I had done before. This procedure didn't stand out in my mind in any way. It didn't stand out as being awful or as being incredibly painful. It didn't stand out as being anything. That made me realize that it probably wasn't going to be so bad. When my name was called and I went back to the procedure room, Dr. Czyrny eased my fears pretty instantly. He didn't necessarily recognize my face, but he did know my name and he knew he had done the study on me before. He asked me if I had any questions, and I told him I didn't really remember the first experience. He said, "Well, that means either it isn't as bad as people say it is or maybe I am actually skilled at this after all!" We both chuckled at his joke, and he had me sit on the table while he began with the needles. I felt literally almost nothing. Remember when you were a kid in the '70s and you'd shuffle your socked feet across the shag carpet? Then you'd go find your little brother and touch him, both of you screaming for just a second during that quick electric shock? No? Was that just me? Well, this was less than that. Dr. Czyrny really is skilled at what he does, and while he had to go up and down both arms, I had no problems sitting like a champ for the procedure. I didn't need my big girl undies after all. I could most definitely have done just fine with little girl undies. Certainly no need for granny panties! So if you're having a nerve conduction study and you're scared out of your wits, I'm not going to guarantee that the procedure won't hurt at all. But I will tell you that if you have that study done with Dr. Czyrny, it'll be a breeze! (Still, you should probably wear some underwear.)

As the caregiver of a person that has need of Psychiatric services I find this practice to have…read moresomething that many lack: Patience and Compassion. I have interacted with 2 of the Psychiatrists in this practice in that capacity; Dr Ghosh and Dr. Tan. Both of these Doctors take the necessary time to understand the issues surrounding their patients needs and show a penchant to avoid over prescribing potentially unnecessary medicines. Most importantly however that I noted is most Psychiatrists I've ever interacted with just focus on the maintenance of a patients' mental health, both of these practitioners have shown their willingness to create a road map of recovery that actively looks to see their patient overcome their mental health challenges. There is a stigma in our culture about mental health issues. Considering 36% of the US population reported some level of incidence of Anxiety or Depression related disorders (i.e just over 1/3 of our population) it seems silly that this stigma even still exists. With practitioners like these it makes it easier to cope with the challenges of mental illness.

I went to her office to discuss different medication options and treatment for my tween after she was ALREADY evaluated for suicide following suicidal ideations stemming from a new SSRI. We were actively taking steps for treatment and have a team of mental health professionals guiding us. She spent less than 10 minutes with my daughter, then immediately demanded she be admitted to a private mental health hospital, for a 7 day lock-in and no contact with her loved ones. Or I could take her to ECMC (to be placed with mentally unstable 12-18 year olds of all genders), if I didn't want to pay an exorbitant amount of money for an unnecessary stay at a private facility. I found it fascinating that Krista felt like she had more insight into my daughter, in such a small time frame, than the team of professionals who evaluated and cleared her days prior. Those professionals worked closely with the guidance team at her school (who have been involved with her mental health for 2 years already), spent over an hour speaking with my daughter and were incredibly thorough. I valued their opinion more than this woman who barely spent any time with my child, and she did not have any insight from those who have already been working with my tween. I did not even make an appointment for this reason, we just wanted some assistance with medication. Immediately I contacted other services to have her reevaluated and SURPRISE! Not a single person agreed with her hasty, incomplete and wreckless recommendation. Krista chose an extreme response that would have inflicted more trauma and issues on my child than would have solved- and she did so with minimal information. The next day she called me and threatened to call an ambulance and take my child by force if I didn't follow her recommendation and was so angry when I told her my daughter was immediately reevaluated and cleared. She then contacted the office who gave me a second opinion, deeming hers inadequate, to scold them for not following her orders. But they had already been working with my daughter and had more insight than Krista. Overall, we had three evaluations for suicide risk, all by qualified mental health professionals, Krista was the only one who made such an irresponsible decision, and it was the least thorough and quickest assessment yet. I am so thankful for Spectrum Services, who offered me legal counsel when she threatened to take my child forcefully, despite having been immediately reevaluated leaving her office. It seems Krista has a problem being wrong, she kept saying "i know what I'm doing, this is my job". Well, it is also the job of the other mental health professionals who cleared my daughter and actually took the time to know her and assess her entire situation. It is honestly alarming that this woman works in medicine and has the power to make life-altering decisions on someone's behalf with little to no information. Stay far away.

Someone suggested this particular hospital so we drove from Canada into the Buffalo New York area. At first looking at the reviews we were hesitant however we decided to proceed forward. The staff as you enter the hospital was very friendly. They came out to the car and helped us get grandma out of the backseat of the SUV. The Hospital was not busy so our wait times were low, they moved her into the back and got her all checked in. We immediately went to x-ray and again the staff was absolutely wonderful. The nice young man who used to be a paramedic was very kind and helped with the anxiety and fear that grandma head. At the end of the day thankfully grandma's hip was not fractured, we were given a copy of our x-rays and we will head back to Southern California and follow up with her primary doctor. When you read all the negative reviews please make sure to take a look at what they are really complaining about. Most people are complaining about the time delay while waiting to get checked in. That is how it is at most ER's and I don't think it's fair that you write a negative review about how long the wait time is , it really comes down to how many people are sick and injured. We were very lucky and there was no one ahead of us so we were in and out in less than 2 1/2 hours. If you go to the ER and there are several people in front of you you're gonna have to wait and that is not the fault of the hospital.
