Philosophy of Care

My passion as a pediatric physiatrist is to help all my patients achieve their goals and maximum potential. I treat patients with a wide variety of medical conditions, but they all have the same goal of being able to do their best. My job is to treat patients with the proper therapies, procedures, and provide the correct equipment or bracing to knock down any barriers they face.

I think that Michelle Sirak is a very good person and she's a very good doctor that everyone suggested her, doctors and patients, and we were very happy that we got an appointment with her and it was quite a ride for us, but it's all worth it. Thank you.

Dr. Sirak is one of the best physicians I've ever worked with. She's extremely personable and knowledgeable. She has great bedside manner. She makes me feel like a partner on my child's team. And she just is lovely. She just is really good at what she does. And I would recommend her to anybody.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr Sirak and the delay was due to a fire alarm. I DO have some complaints regarding the parking garage. I have a wheelchair van and the entrance and exit of the garage has a large hump that is too high for the clearance causing me to scrape the bottom of the vehicle very badly. The garage is also very poorly laid out with many of the handicap spots blocked off or inaccessible due to construction modifications (including bollards in the middle of at least one spot) and the few spots not fully blocked were not large enough for a ramp to be deployed. We were forced to stop in the driving lane to unload my daughter before parking. This is inexcusable and if it hadn't been for the fact that I had accompanied my wife, it would have been impossible for my daughter to make it to her visit.

Excellent! I really liked everything for my daughter. I liked how it was explained very detailed. Great doctor!

Dr. Sirak is worth the wait and is the best thing to happen to our family. She has two of our sons as patients and always answers our questions, helps us navigate difficult obstacles our children face due to their diagnosis, provides support and care that exceeds any and all expectations.
