JOHN MADEJ, MD

If I could give Dr Madej a thousand stars I would. He is the BEST Doctor, and one of the most competent and caring people I have ever met. If you want to go back to the days when your doctor looked at you as a person, and treated you like a human being instead of an insurance commodity, then you've found that man in him. He even answers his own phone. I find it especially amusing when I get the line from the pharmacist saying "We haven't been able reach your doctor all day" because I know he's always prompt. I look at them and, say "Really" Then I call him directly and when he answers, I ask if they'd like to talk to him. Dr Madej has always stood beside me gone above to help me in any crisis I've encountered. I did sign up for his concierge service and its well worth it. Just the one time alone when I was in Wash DC on a Friday night and wasn't sure if I needed to go to the ER or not convinced me it was the best service option ever. I didn't end up having to spend all night in the ER waiting room because he was able to evaluate me online and advise me on what I needed to do. When I did need a ER once, DR Madej was standing at the door waiting. For a UTI, I've never had to wait it out until I could get in to see a doctor while I suffered. There have been countless time Dr Madej has been there and although I could go on and on...just call him and find out for yourself. I'd be scared he'll get too busy after everyone finds out how great he is, but he's got his next generation in Med school, so they can pitch in and carry the legacy!

While not knowing where my pains are coming from, what’s with me and the fever I realized that I’m in need of medical help.
I’m glad I was able to be connected with Doctor John Madej who not only explained what’s happening to me yet also his diagnosis and quick action I can say, saved my life.
It feels so good to feel well again. I’m glad there are doctors like John Madej knowledgeable and caring.
Thank you John Madej, MD.

I called Dr. Madej's office after business hour and left a message and he called me back right away. He kindly helped me even though he couldn't take any appointments at that moment because it was right before his vacation time. But, he recommended other doctors I can try and also gave me a ballpark so that I don't get overcharged. What a wonderful person. I truly feel that he cares every single patient. TRUE Doctor. Thank you, Dr. Madej.

Dr. Madej runs a great practice and is committed to quality care. He takes the time to go the extra mile, and truly cares for his patients. I work with doctors by trade, and Dr. Madej is among the best.
The best part is how easy it is to get an appointment.
I can't recommend him enough!

Ok, this is the story.

I heard about Dr Madej's reputation of being the nicest doctor on the Peninsula so I called in and made a reservation to come in and see him for a 7th opinion on my condition because I had been going to various doctors and getting no definitive answers to my situation that is very, very serious.

So just before I was to go in to see him, I called in around 8:30 to double check and was expecting to get the voice mail or to talk to his scheduler. To my surprise, he answered the phone from his cell phone.

Apparently, he picks up his own office calls when the office is closed. He was in his car driving to work and insisted on calling me back personally when he got in. WHO DOES THAT?

When I finally met him, he exceeded every review here on yelp. I really understand now what people are talking about because he does things that no other doctor would think of. For example, he took an EKG of my heart and instead of just running it for 2 seconds to save paper, he let it run for 4 minutes to really get a good reading. Amazing. He also told me that the current medication I am on might be dangerous and wanted me to see a friend of his to get a more specific opinion. Dr Madej is not afraid to give you his opinion straight out.

Now I also understand that he offers a more personal service if you want that. Normally, I am TOTALLY against that but in Dr, Madej's case, I am going to do it.

Why?

Because I feel that he is doing this for a time issue, not a money issue. I have seen 11 doctors for my situation and Dr. Madej spent way over my alloted time to see me and didn't rush me or pressure me to leave.

He offers what I feel is concerge service for free as he practices with each patient and his office is full. It is not money with him, but it gives him the opportunity to give a closer relationship with his patients and therefore a better opportunity to find out what is wrong with them and what they need.

The bottom line is Dr Madej is not content with sending you on your way with a pill or a shot to make you feel better, he wants to find out what is wrong with you so you can get the help you need and make it change. I always thought that was the goal of every doctor when i didn't need them but now that I do, I have come to find out that you are just a number on a chart, a 15 minute space in the day to 95% of the doctors out there.

They listen to you, make a quick evaluation, type you in on the computer, prescibe a pill and if you die later on, they file your chart somewhere else. If you live and come back, they fumble and stumble along. I know that sounds harsh and cold but I have been dealing with a situation that has been going on for 7 years with no solution. And in every case, I have basically been give the same treatment until I found Dr. Madej.

He wants to find the answer, not just mask the situation over with a pill. So I am going to talk with him about his more personal program which will give him the time he may need to get to the bottom of my problem.

He really is the best doctor I have ever been to in my life.
