About Charles Frederick Opalak

Charles Opalak, MD, believes in getting to know his patients and providing a plan tailored for them. Dr. Opalak is inspired by this quotation from neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing (1869–1939): "A physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ, more than even the whole man – he must view the man in his world."

    The room where we were taken seemed to have no HVAC working. No air was moving and it was stuffy and too warm. We have experienced this in other Prisma locations too often. We would never keep our home operating with no air circulating.
