Dr. Pelinkovic is very kind and listens to everything that I had to say about what’s been happening to me. He explains what is going on and what he would like to see happen, going forward, including MRI imaging and further testing to get a better understanding of why I’m in such miserable pain. He seems to truly care about helping me get back to my normal self.
I was glad to feel I was being heard .And I feel I got the support when I was present which means a lot thank you.
He was pretty helpful in his diagnosis but I am in a lot of pain upper back under the shoulder blades and base of spine. I need this pain to stop. Even for a little while.
Went for spine. Never asked me to stand up to do evaluation. Basically talked to his computer whole time reviewing my MRI. I had been doing PT over a month and after him not evaluating me or asking questions just said “try PT” which I responded I have. Office waiting area tiny and overbooks patients. Was sweating in there, not enough seats for patients-which is pretty bad being orthopedic office.ask you to be there 15 mins early and you walk in to hear “we are running an hour late”
Very great doctor!!
His visit notes said home exercises, which was what he told me during my visit, but on the other hand he wrote a script for me to go to physical therapy… of which I was not made aware of … this stopped my worker comp benefits that now my lawyers are scrambling to try to restart… I think he is seeing too many patients to do this type of incongruent recommendation of treatment. He may need a vacation.
Excellent doctor!
A very good Dr who actually listens
I Appreciate Dr. Pelinkovic In His Effort To Help Me Improve My Issues With My BACK , Right Knee, And Right Foot !!!!
It was my second time meeting him. He never shook my hand or gave me a full examination. He just asked questions. Is he afraid of African Americans. He told me to get an MRI. I told him I had a pacemaker and that that should not happen. He scheduled me for an MRI anyway. He totally ignored what I said. The company called me to schedule an MRI. When I told them I had a pacemaker, they immediately said they are not equipped to do MRIs for individuals with pacemakers. On my second visit he asked if I got the MRI. I am not a fan of doctors who don’t listen to their patients. He ordered me things and didn’t ask if I wanted the items. I would not refer him to anyone.
