"Best GI doctor ever!! I’ve been Dr. Volak’s patient for 22 years. Office staff is difficult to deal with on the phone—enough to wonder about the office efficiency. Nurses are wonderful, just impossible to get in touch with them. The surgery center where I had my last procedure, hospital, was poor in most respects from the viewpoint of the patient. I’ll deal with all of these issues in order to continue excellent care from Dr. Vollak."

He is engaging, never rushes through details of findings and takes the time to explain things in layman's terms. I will forever be indebted to him for finding my cancerous 24mm polyp September 4th, 2018. He has been a part of my treatment plan since that time, though I chose not to have Chemotherapy, BUT instead, chose Naturopath and he respected my decision.

"The best recommendation I can offer is that I've used Dr. Volak's services for colonoscopy before. Obviously, not the most joyously-anticipated procedure, Dr. Volak and his associates make the experience as comfortable and professional as can possibly be expected. The whole procedure from originating consultation through completion (in my case, biopsy of a polyp) were done with confidence, discretion, and compassion. I'll be seeking Dr. Volak's services five years from now."
"This was my first visit with Dr. Volak and I found him to be a very pleasant, calm, patient, and knowledgeable doctor. He listened intently to my complaints and questions. He made me feel comfortable and didn't rush through the visit. He provided a very clear picture of possible scenarios and described in details what options were available in my situation.
