Dr Kopaniak Marguerite Maria

I found Dr. Kopaniak to be a wonderful listener who took time with patients who needed it but also tried to maintain a set schedule. At times her caring for her patients who needed longer sessions than the standard "just 1 complaint over 10 minutes" routine that many doctors espouse may have set her schedule behind somewhat. But I always knew, if I had to wait up to half an hour on the very odd occasion, it was because someone was getting the full attention they needed from her, just like I did when I was in need. When she left, it was somewhat abrupt but she made efforts to contact patients - it was management at her clinic that I understood was tardy in giving knowledge of her departure. She was and I imagine still is one of the finest, most caring family doctors I have encountered and I was a health reporter for the country's largest daily newspaper for many years and met many. Welcome back, Dr. K!
