Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2021
Dr Pacholka is undoubtedly the most compassionate, caring and dedicated doctor we’ve ever had. He’s done surgery on both my husband and I and we wouldn’t have chose anyone but him if given the chance. You’ll never find anyone that explains everything and takes time to listen to you like he does. He and his staff are the best!! Thanks Dr Pacholka for coming to Portsmouth and being such an asset to our community.
