Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Dr Ivkov's for 15 years. He is very compassionate, thorough and does not rush me when asking questions of me. He explains everything thoroughly to make sure I understand my medical conditions.

Dr. Ivkov was the only one that stopped my daughters head and neck pain after one week of testing by other doctors and hospitals. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Ivkov from the bottom of my heart!!

3 times medicine or doses have been changed, three times resulted in patient ending up in hospital. Hard to talk to as he really doesn't listen, just not really person friendly. Very hard to get a hold of, questions usually answered by his nurse. Does not follow up with patient when medicine is changed unless there is a problem/emergency. Have lost all confidence in him and his associates.

This is not a real doctors office. You sit in his office while he writes you prescriptions. Horrible bedside manner as well. I refuse to go back.
