    He is very thorough and he asks the right questions. Even though he is very busy, he's not trying to rush the visit. I would class him as an excellent doctor.

    this was my second time seeing Dr Pytak. My first visit was great, he was super attentive and thorough. This next visit was a little different. Maybe an off day but it seemed distracted

    I'd give him a 12 if I could. He's the finest health care professional I've ever had. I truly feel he he cares for his patients and always takes the time to listen.

    He was able to listen to my explanation of what I was going through. His feedback to me was most interesting to here his terminology and willing to listen to my lehman's language in respect to how our body's function ... And willingness to take a different approach to the situation...

    Philip Pytak is an excellent PAC, he is a very caring, patient, though PAC. He spends time with his patients, listens very well, takes notes, goes over all our questions, makes sure we understand everything. He also, follows up with his patient, something I haven't seen in a long time. I hope he stays with Optum, LaCanada office always.

    I love this guy. He's amazing. He listens, he cares and he's smart too. I had many different symptoms wrong with me and I couldn't really diagnose myself, i.e. sinus, cough, sore throat, chest phlegm....was it flu, covid, allergies, just horribly uncomfortable...so we thoroughly discussed it and we came to an amicable solution as to what was wrong with me, including reactions to meds from my eye doc and I felt so relieved....so relieved, liking our diagnosis. I really really this PAC. Thank you.
