James R Pacholka, MD, PC

I had a hernia surgery with Dr Pacholka. Great practitioner. Explains well the procedure beforehand. Lays out the options, helps you decide. Makes you feel 100% confident. The result is astonishing. Very thin scar that healed very well, exactly as he explained. Plus John his assistant is so nice, efficient and caring. Bravo !

Dr. Pacholka is Amazing!!! He is very caring and patient. He explains everything very carefully. The surgery went very well. I was up and feeling better in less than a week. There is almost no wait time for his office visit and his receptionist John is excellent. I would absolutely recommend him.

Easy to talk to. Professional. Explained what my options were for types of procedures and decided on one that I was most comfortable with. I want to be alert through surgery. Surgery was painless. Also reviewed options that would work best with insurance (locations). Hardly noticeable there was an incision. Amazing!

I had two operations with Dr. Pacholka, he was friendly and professional. He explained my issues in very detail and ensured I was fully understood. John, the assistant was great, he is polite and answers all my emails quickly.

My experience with Dr. Pacholka was outstanding. He is a first rate doctor with an excellent staff, and I highly recommend him. From the first office visit to the final surgery I knew that I was in good hands. Dr. Pacholka is incredibly competent and explained every detail of the procedure to me prior to my surgery. The office staff were extremely pleasant, patient and helpful and never made you feel like you were bothering them like most other medical office staff in New York city. Great experience overall!

Dr. Pacholka answers all questions and concerns in detail and makes you feel comfortable right away. He is flexible and made his schedule work for me when I needed him. His staff is courteous, efficient and a pleasure to work with. He is my go-​to guy when I need this kind of procedure done.

Dr Pacholka and his staff treated me with great professionalism and care, and made every effort to make sure I am aware of my options and costs involved. The operation was a great success and the follow-​up was also impeccable. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone.

I was referred to Dr. Pacholka by way of my oncologist. Dr Pacholka and his staff are the most welcoming, kind and caring bunch. They go out of their way and have gone out of their way several times to meet my needs. Every doctor’s office should be like Pacholka’s. I have never met a more friendly physician’s assistant than John, and I have never had a doctor/​surgeon with the bedside manner as good as Dr. Pacholka. Side note: I underwent 2 surgeries by Pacholka. Neither of my scars are noticeable at all. He is both a doctor and an artist at stitching.

Four weeks ago I had inguinal hernia surgery performed by Dr. Pacholka. The entire experience from first meeting him to the follow up after surgery was excellent. He was professional, listened to my concerns, took the time to explain everything and answer my many questions. He responded immediately to my text messages prior to surgery. I was well prepared by him and his staff. The surgery went very well. And the post op was exactly what I was prepared for.

I’m from the Bronx in few words Dr. Pacholka is great. I adore him. He is so welcoming and his staff is very polite. He is very professional and caring. I can always email or text Dr. Pacholka for any of my concerns I will continue to see him & certainly recommend others to see him

Doctor Jim is the absolute best there is! Since I first became a patient of his I feel safer… less afraid what will happen if something very serious befalls me because if it is beyond his expertise he will recommend someone equally as good if such a person even exists. If you want to believe your doctor gives a damn about you and that you are not just some comments on a chart you will love Doctor Pacholka as much as I do. He cleaned up the mess left by another surgeon and has been there for me ever since no matter how silly the problem may be. You will find the staff… the nurses where ever he operates feel the same way about him. He is a hell of a sweet man and really becomes like family… like Doctors used to be. I can not recommend him strongly enough.

Dr. Pacholka is really great. He removed my painful gallbladder about six months ago and ever since then I have felt fantastic. My tiny scars are quickly disappearing.
My recovery time was about two weeks (although I went back to work after one week… I have a desk job and felt up to it… I think he disapproved of this though!).
Being a great surgeon should be enough to recommend him, but there is so much more to Dr. Pacholka. He is really super nice. You get his full attention and he really takes his time talking with you. He patiently explains the surgery, the way the organs work, what recovery will be like… etc He showed me great color diagrams. I love visual aids! And you can text him! How cool is that?
Most of all though, he came to me at the hospital right before the surgery, warm smile on his face, to see if I had any questions. So cool. This was my first surgery and I was nervous, I have to admit. This little touch meant the world to me.
He’s first class. That’s all there is to say.
