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.)

I have been a patient at Williamsville psych for over a year and I got dropped from this practice…read moretoday after sleeping through a whopping 2 appointments. Both had been pretty unwillingly scheduled at 9 am! No warning, no nothing, just my NP (not a doctor) giving me a call saying I've been terminated from the practice, after scheduling an appointment with the front office 20 minutes prior. As someone with a disorder such as mine, I was able to find a new office and a new doctor, with no referral within the hour, so I guess it was no big deal for me? What does that tell you about Williamsville Psychiatry though. Do they care about their patients and their progress? Or are they more concerned about the business they lose that given day when a patient misses and needs to reschedule an appointment. I'll leave her name anonymous, but as for my NP (again, not a doctor), she may be the most stale, plain, and honestly inhospitable worker I've come across in the medical field. It just kind of feels like a slap in the face too when I drop lump sums of money coming here, just to have my "doctor" (NP) rush all of my appointments. She gives me the vibe that she just plays candy crush or something in between all of her appointments. I'd give zero stars, but 1 star is okay, only because the aloof NP in question was pretty hot.

Dr. Hashim is highly respected among the professionals I have spoken with. My son is special needs…read moreand his school recommended Dr. Hashim. There doesn't seem to be a lot of child psychiatrists in Buffalo which would explain why he received a good recommendation and why he only rates 2 stars. I think he simply has TOO many patients to reasonably handle. Does he know medications? Yes. Is he a good doctor for medication management? Sure. If you're looking for a good beside manner, or looking to work with a doctor that knows your name, then keep moving down the list of your insurance carrier's providers. My son has been a patient of Dr. Hashim for 5 years now. He sees the Dr. every 3 months (sometimes more often) and on the months he isn't seen, I still have to call in and speak to the office staff to get prescriptions. After 5 years, Dr. Hashim doesn't know my name or my daughter's name (she was also a patient of his until last year) and I'm sure the only reason he knows my son's name is because it's written on the chart. I have sat in his office and had him confuse my child with someone else. During an insurance review, I requested copies of my son's records and was amazed to find SIGNIFICANTLY inaccurate information in his chart that was clearly related to a completely different patient. Dr. Hashim continues to be the only child psychiatrist in network through our insurance company which is why we continue to see him. Overall, he does a good job as a doctor, just not great with the patient stuff. His accent also makes it hard to understand him.
