The staff is so caring and compassionate my needs.. Doctor Podogorski is very knowledgeable compassionate and understanding. He is a definite Doctor to have on your team Especially when you're Navigating through uncharted water like cancer. I feel extremely fortunate to have him as a Doctor I highly recommend him.

Hope was truly the most important support for my husband's fight against cancer. Yesterday, when we received the news that he won the fight, we remember the fundamental support of Dr. Edward Pordorsgoki. My husband was in immense pain from the beginning of the diagnosis, and we had the continuous monitoring and support of Dr. Edward maintaining his pain under control, my husband would not have been able to put all his strength and energy into the battle against cancer. Comfort and tranquility are essential at these times, and we found it in the care and attention of a professional with sensitivity to his work like Dr. Edward.

I was referred to this office and it was such a great experience in such a difficult time for me. The staff was kind, caring, and very compassionate. The Doctor was very kind and explained all my options which made me feel very relieved and I knew that this was a great choice for me. If anyone is looking for hope and compassion then this is the place for you. I want to thank everyone there for such kindness. I appreciate all that you do and I commend all of you.

Dr P is very compassionate with his patients. On our first visit he took the time to get to know my husband and asked him questions about hobbies etc. I really liked that about him. He always listens to my husband and we never feel rushed during our appointments.

My first visit with staff and Dr. P was very positive. He was very thorough going over my history and asking questions. I was pleased when he had additional questions he called me directly rather than having a member of his staff do it.

Dr. P is an amazingly attentive & informed physician! The office staff are beyond great and effective!

* I would also like to add that I was referred to Dr. Podgorski around a year ago (summer '23[?]) after an old/new injury resurfaced & made it impossible for my then Pain Management Specialist to do more to help me.

Having broken my neck while serving in the Army, my injury eventually "healed" on its own with a little light duty & heavy doses of Grunt Candy.
Decades later that broke free in 2021 & nearly took me out, leaving me with almost no feeling from tits-to-toes. After cutting my throat & grinding a ton of bone away, it was fixed by a very talented Neurosurgeon who bolted & caged me back together.

Anyway, after several very in-depth & informative discussions with my family & Dr. P, we came to the conclusion that I may be a good candidate for a pain pump, so I decided to have him install it.

After that, he has quite literally saved my life, so I've never looked back and I have no intentions of doing so. I trust him implicitly! You can't go wrong if you choose to meet & partner with Dr. P.

The pain pump does exactly what it is suppose to (not intending to suggest anything, that is between YOU & YOUR PHYSICIAN!) for me & it's quite effective on that front.

Again, I really do want to thank the entire office staff at H.O.P.E., you are all quite amazing at what you do to help us patients!

Lastly, I Obviously also wish to thank, Dr. Edward M. Podgorski for the attention to detail, the sharing of your knowledge, and for your care and concern you have for each and every one of us patients...Thank You!
