Great Doctor! Makes you feel comfortable during procedures!
I am permanently disabled, Medicare has me in a hospital air bed, mt lumbar and sacrum is fused, I cannot drive, he told me hatefully to exercise, ride a bike. I have chronic pain and neuropathy. I am 71 years old. I thought he had forgotten my physical limitations. He hurriedly left within 8 min. I know he is a good doctor, and have loved him as a doctor. But, I left last week feeling defeated. I hate giving a 2 when I have always given a 5. But, I will never complain about my worries to him again. I do not think a person can get better with my spinal chord injury, the older I get the worse I get. I know he cannot fix me, my urine tests are good, I take medication as I should, I do no take illegal drugs.
Dr. Dragovich is the best. He understands my situation and takes time to talk to find out how I'm doing. He's very professional but at the same time he feels like a friend I've known for a long time. The treatment is painful but having him to talk to helps me get through it better.
Dr. Dragovich was awesome. He listened to my concerns and discussed options without me feeling rushed. The SI injection was quick and relatively painless. Throughout the procedure he explained what he was doing and confirmed my comfort level. I would recommend him 100%.
No problem
Friendly,kind would recommend.
He seems to be a Very Caring Doctor!
Very nice
I had to see Dr. Dragovich for an ESI injection. The whole experience was good. Dr. Dragovich explained the whole procedure and during injection was explaining each step and checked to make sure I was okay. His staff was very nice. I would recommend him.
Doctor was very caring.
