Dr Knapik was my sons physician for a little over a year. At his 3 month check up, she spent a total of 5 minutes with him. Then, she proceeded to tell me it was very likely that he had cerebral palsy, because "he seemed really stiff" well I mean you are giving a 12 week baby multiple vaccines... . *anyways* I was referred to a specialist and waited months for his evaluation. Well, long story short, my son DOES NOT have cerebral palsy. Not even close. The specialists who came and evaluated him were confused as to why they were there. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with him. I spent MONTHS crying myself to sleep with worry over it. Dr Knapik needs to spend more time with her patients, or simply choose another profession. I felt like a fool when these kind ladies drove all the way out to my home to evaluate my son for a condition that he had no symptoms of. Now, my son is a happy and healthy 3 year old with NO mobility issues. I just wish that his first pediatrician had taken more time with him before making rash diagnoses. Dr Knapik also prescribed him an antibiotic for a cold when he was 6 months old. I was hesitant to give any to my son since he honestly didnt seem that sick, but I gave him 2 doses just to see. Fast forward to the middle of the night- were in the emergency room. Why? My son has colitis from the antibiotics and was bleeding out of his poor little bum. The ER doctor was absolutely mortified that a pediatrician would prescribe an ANTIBIOTIC to a baby with a MILD cold! (Which, by the way, she said was an "upper respiratory infection" that he didnt have...) please, please, please take your kiddos to a different pediatrician. One who will spend time with them, listen to your concerns, and prescribe medication only when absolutely necessary. Or at least get a second opinion- some people are just in it for the money.

We had an amazing experience every time we visited Dr. Knapik with our kids for many years. She was highly recommend by our cousin. No matter which kid we would bring to her to be seen, she would also inquire about or take a quick look at anothe kid just to make sure they were well too. She takes her time and never cuts corners. I felt like she walks an exta mile in any matter. Dr. Knapik is one of my favorite doctors Ive have ever had a pleasure of working with. She is an experienced and a very sweet doctor. We are so grateful for every time she had saved the day! Shes everything we would ever want in a pediatrician!

Not a fan of this doctor. My two year old cant even sleep because shes coughing up so much mucus. She was given absolutely nothing at all. This is not my first bad experience with this doctor. Never again will I see her.
