Testimonials & Reviews

A truly real patient testimonial from 2020…

Dr. Wyshak and Black Dog Medical are incredible! I have been a member of her practice for over a year now and I can’t believe this level of medical care and service wasn’t available or even known about earlier. Like most adults with good insurance, I have battled the corporate family practices only to be treated like a number and rarely seeing the same Doctor twice. There was never any continuity with my health care and trying to get an urgent appointment within 3 months was a lottery.


I was definitely hesitant to join at first because it is a membership based practice which means you pay a small yearly fee. On the surface it might seem ridiculous until you realize what you get as a benefit. You are literally getting a private doctor. Once a member, you get immediate access to Dr. Wyshak. Whether it’s over the phone, text, or email, any time, day or night she can be reached to discuss urgent health concerns. When I need to be seen at her office she can usually accommodate within the week or sometimes earlier.


There are so many benefits to Black Dog Medical. First, your insurance works exactly the same as any other Doctors office. If she orders labs, or specialist referrals, everything works the same and is billed the same as any other. But beyond the cost, Dr. Wyshak is an amazing Doctor. She always goes the extra mile and is relentless in her search for answers. You will never experience this level of care with any corporate family practice.
The next time you are fed up with your primary care Doctors office because you aren’t receiving timely and personal care, don’t just wish for a private Doctor from centuries past…get one! Call Black Dog Medical today!

Physician colleague testimonial…

Patricia Wyshak is one of the most reliable, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, helpful and dedicated physicians I have had the pleasure to know. Her work-ups are extensive and thorough, her record keeping superb, her clinical judgment exemplary; she leaves no detail unattended. Her empathy for her patients and genuine concern are admirable.
She has high ethical standards, an excellent work ethic, is extremely trustworthy and is of very fine character. In addition, she is dedicated to her family and active in her community. There is no other physician I would rather have attend to me or a member of my family in the event of  illness than Patricia Wyshak.”
-Dr. Peter Ossanna, M.D.

“Patty and April are like the dynamic duo of medicine. For the first time in decades, we finally have a doctor who is concerned about the whole person and the larger picture. Office visits are set for the time that is needed, not the 15 minutes dictated by corporate. I say we because my mother and daughter as well as myself are extremely happy to have Patty as our PCP now. We travel all the way from Calais and it is more than worth it. This has truly been a life changing experience.”

“I have long held the belief that for most of us our medical issues often increase with age, and I think it is important to have a good internal medicine MD who can handle those concerns.

After several months of trying to figure out how to resolve the issue of making sure I had a good internal medicine doctor, I am very happy and relieved to be under your continued care.”

-Multi-year patient

“On the occasion of Black Dog’s ‘Winter Celebration,’ you have more than confirmed and reinforced my decision to sign on to your new practice. I feel so fortunate to have you as my doctor. It is icing on the cake to have you and April as my health care team. Your expertise and tremendous efforts in establishing Black Dog Medical have already made it a star in the community!
