"I highly recommend Dr Grochowski, both for children and adults. In his surgery, patients feel valued rather than like intruders, as was the case with other psychiatrists when my daughter was being treated. The atmosphere during appointments instils a sense of calm in the patient, who feels that the doctor is genuinely interested in their problems and wants to help them. The doctor listens to the patient willingly and attentively. He takes a holistic approach to the patient’s problems. He asks about other medical conditions. He explains how the medication works clearly. He answers every question. He is very friendly. I would like to thank Dr Grochowski very much for his accurate diagnosis and for the fact that, after many unsuccessful courses of treatment with other psychiatrists, my disabled daughter finally feels much better thanks to him. The symptoms that had been tormenting her for years have disappeared. And as a result, I’m feeling better too. Many thanks from Marta and her mum."
2026/10/29
I would recommend this specialist to anyone looking for the right person to help diagnose conditions similar to schizophrenia, given this doctor’s extensive experience and expertise. The doctor takes an individual approach to each patient and is open to new treatment methods.
2026/10/29
Dr Grochowski is a very good specialist who has a good approach to young patients and their parents. He listens carefully and tries to help.
2026/10/29
I recommend him to patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, as he is very skilful and calm in demonstrating that a particular behaviour is a compulsion and is unnecessary. This makes it easier to cope with the condition.
2026/10/29
I recommend him to patients with schizophrenia, as he is straightforward and helpful.
2026/10/29
I recommend it to adult patients with ADHD/ADD.
2026/10/29
Mr Marek is a man of action. The online consultation began at the agreed time. He outlined my treatment options in a very matter-of-fact manner, without beating about the bush, and suggested two courses of action, whilst explaining what to expect next. Short, concise and to the point. Exemplary!

2026/10/29
The doctor explained everything to me in detail, made a diagnosis and prescribed a course of treatment which is proving effective. I highly recommend him.

2026/10/29
A doctor who shows very little interest in the patient’s health and behaviour.
His answers were terse and offered nothing new.
I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM!!!! You can get advice like this EVEN online without necessarily having to spend over 200 zł for such a lack of commitment.
I am utterly disappointed by the lack of empathy and commitment to treating my son, who is ill, and Dr Grochowski did NOTHING to help.
2026/10/29
The appointment was very pleasant and, despite my nerves, I managed to tell him a bit about my life. After a few moments, I stopped feeling anxious. The doctor is also very patient and empathetic. I highly recommend him and will certainly return if necessary.

2026/10/29
Dr Marek Grochowski is a very good doctor who is able to handle even the most serious cases; he devotes every second we need to listening to the patient’s needs. I recommend this doctor.
(source: znanylekarz.pl)
2026/10/29
A ‘doctor’ who cares not at all about the patient’s well-being and health, but only about the convenience of his own work and easy money.
After I informed him that I had been taking the medicine for a year and was experiencing noticeable side effects, the doctor prescribed the same medicine along with another, similarly acting medicine available in the country (I had asked for medicines that would ultimately need to be imported, which of course involves extra work and taking on responsibility).
I do not recommend this doctor if you genuinely need help, rather than simply a prescription or a sick note.
2026/10/29
Over half an hour’s delay on my first visit – a terrible experience; I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m waiting for a refund – I hope that at least that will be processed on time.
2026/10/29
I would recommend Dr Grochowski to young people who are trying to find their place in life or who feel lost.
2026/10/29
Very thorough and attentive. Good rapport, quick assessment, spot-on observations. A visit with my child.
(source: znanylekarz.pl)
2026/10/29
Given the doctor’s professionalism, his approach to patients and the effectiveness of his treatment, I would recommend him to anyone experiencing health problems (depression, anxiety, etc.). I am convinced you will not be disappointed.
2026/10/29
Highly recommended for people and patients with emotional disorders, neuroses, depression, etc., as well as for children. He explains the problem thoroughly, is able to connect with the patient, and takes a calm approach to the number and dosage of medicines.
2026/10/29
A few weeks ago, there was a programme on TOK-FM radio about Asperger’s syndrome, and one of the callers said that this doctor is actually the best specialist in Asperger’s in Warsaw. So I went to see Dr Grochowski with my 9-year-old son, and I’m hugely impressed by him. He’s dedicated, extremely competent – you can tell he’s incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell it’s no coincidence that he’s the head of department at Poland’s leading psychiatric hospital. I really do recommend him.
2026/10/29
A very good psychiatrist. In my case, he prescribed the right medication very accurately. He doesn’t just stick to a dry diagnosis – he’s able to talk to you, offer comfort and empathise with the patient.
2026/10/29
He listened, gave advice – quickly and to the point.
2026/10/29
An extremely empathetic doctor who responds quickly to the patient’s needs. A very astute and experienced diagnostician. He explains the effects of medication in detail, offers advice and gives the patient space. He has a sense of humour :-)
2026/10/29
If all you need is a prescription, that’s fine. But if you’re expecting more – advice, more attention, for the doctor to ask follow-up questions, offer suggestions of their own accord, or address your condition – then, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. I’m disappointed. I suspect it might have been down to the delay. The appointment started half an hour late, and it felt as though we were expected to wrap up quickly.
2026/10/29
A very friendly and competent doctor.
2026/10/29
An incredibly empathetic person.
He listened calmly and professionally to our concerns about the proposed treatment. He patiently explained how the proposed medicines worked and put our minds at rest.
I highly recommend him.

A very empathetic doctor who explains everything, listens and draws conclusions. I felt very well looked after during my first experience with this type of treatment. I won’t deny I was stressed beforehand, but my concerns were quickly allayed and the consultation went very smoothly.

2026/10/29
The first psychiatrist who took seriously what I was saying about my symptoms and how the medication was affecting me correctly identified the problem and then patiently adjusted the medication until we found the right combination. I’ve dealt with many psychiatrists and I can confidently say that Dr Grochowski has a very broad knowledge of medicines and how they interact with various disorders (in my case, ADHD). For the first time, someone took seriously the fact that SSRIs have a negative effect on me and do not help at all.
2026/10/29
A professional.
2026/10/29
The appointment went very well. Mr Marek suggested two solutions to my problem and listened carefully to my concerns and what I needed. I think I’ll be going back if I need to :)

I have been using the services of the Dialog Therapy Centre for quite some time now and I am very satisfied.

A brilliant appointment. I had an online consultation with Dr M. Grochowski. An excellent doctor who has helped me enormously and continues to do so.

Explanation of concepts, discussion of how things work.

A wonderful doctor, the best I’ve ever met
; he helped us enormously with our son, who has a severe intellectual disability. No one has as much experience as this doctor; I’ve seen professors and about 20 different specialists, but only Mr Marek helped us. We really do recommend him!

Dr Marek Grochowski – a doctor who wants to help
2026/10/29
The doctor patiently answered my questions and addressed my concerns.
2026/10/29
I’m very pleased with the medication that has been suggested to me. I was given a detailed explanation of why this particular medication might help me and how to make the transition from the medication I’m currently taking. I still feel a bit unsure about my future treatment, although I realise that a lot depends on how the new medicines and therapy work for me.

Dr Marek Grochowski is a patient and dedicated doctor; my son has been his patient for four years. He was the only person who correctly diagnosed autism; because my son functions so well, we struggled with the diagnosis for many years. At first, we – the parents – were blamed; we were told that the difficulties in bringing him up were our fault, and later that our child had an intellectual disability. The doctor listened to our story, spoke to our son and made a diagnosis that was absolutely spot on. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr Marek; thanks to him, we felt a sense of relief and finally know which direction to take with our child.
2026/10/29
I’d recommend Dr Grochowski. Accurate diagnosis, a friendly manner, a good specialist.

Complete professionalism, patience and an understanding of the issues.

I really needed to see a doctor. I booked an appointment and paid 300 zł. Nobody rang me; I waited for an hour. I’d been waiting for the appointment for several weeks. Now I face another few weeks’ wait to see another specialist, whilst my anxiety is getting worse.
2026/10/29
If I’d known that my very first visit would be such a great experience, I wouldn’t have put it off for several years. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

2026/10/29
At the surgery, I am treated as a person in my own right. The doctor’s decisions always turn out for the best in the end.
2026/10/29
I had private consultations with many psychiatrists, including some who supposedly specialised in Asperger’s Syndrome, but it was Dr Marek Grochowski who suggested that I should pursue further diagnosis in this area. For years I was taking all sorts of medication, which didn’t help anyway, and my health was getting worse year on year. Had it not been for that suggestion, I might still be having to take medication, instead of simply accepting that I function a little differently because I’m on the autism spectrum. So, overall, I’d recommend Dr Grochowski; he has practical knowledge.

A wonderful doctor, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Patient, empathetic and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend this specialist.
2026/10/29
Good morning, I can wholeheartedly recommend a consultation with the doctor for support for children on the autism spectrum. The doctor treated the parents with great respect and provided psychoeducation on autism, pharmacological treatment and the doctor’s role in the therapeutic process. I recommend him.
2026/10/29
Everything’s great. After six months of treatment, I can see that the decisions the doctor makes are right for me. I’m treated with respect and care; everything is always explained and clarified during my appointments. The treatment is tailored to my needs. 10/10 – go for it without a second thought
2026/10/29
I would recommend this doctor. He provided a quick diagnosis and treatment plan. I received detailed advice and answers to my questions. All my concerns were quickly put to rest.

2026/10/29
Despite the delay (due to technical reasons), the appointment went very well and I rate the doctor highly, even though this was my first visit to this specialist. The doctor asks detailed questions about the problem and, on that basis, decides on further treatment; and although this may sound trivial, it is by no means a given with other specialists I have dealt with. I hope that our continued collaboration (treatment) will proceed in a similar atmosphere and with the same level of commitment from the doctor. I am optimistic.

I can, with a clear conscience, recommend Dr Grochowski to patients struggling with anxiety disorders, sleep problems or difficulties in coping with stress. He is a very straightforward, uncompromising and effective doctor. I also like the fact that appointments with him are short and to the point; you can tell he knows what he’s talking about and quickly makes the right diagnosis.

2026/10/29
He helped me a great deal; I’d recommend him to anyone with problems like mine: anxiety, depression, or those searching for their identity and unsure of their goals in life. Please note: the sessions are short and to the point! No unnecessary chit-chat. Just what’s really important.
2026/10/29
This doctor is brilliant at helping people shake off negative thoughts; his sense of humour takes your mind off life’s unpleasantries, and he selects medication brilliantly and with remarkable precision. I recommend him to patients, particularly young people, who are experiencing depressive symptoms, social anxiety or suicidal thoughts. A true Specialist, with a capital ‘S’.
