Dr I is always prompt and explains all my issues and answers my concerns. He works to get me treated as promptly as possible.
Fabulous! Dr. I did an excellent job once again. I don’t at all dread getting these injections. Thank you!
I am grateful for the procedure Dr. Igolnikov is trained to give me. I appreciate the time he takes to answer questions and explain as he goes along.
Completely professional and expert expertise.
Both Kasey, Dr Igolnikov's ('I' ) MA as well as Dr 'I' did an excellent performance during my appointment for lumbar area injections. The only one thing I noticed, and it was probably because he was behind schedule, that might help Dr 'I' in future appointments is for him to not be so fast paced in getting the job done. To me it was a 'move him in, move him out' kind of interaction. On the other hand, Kasey was very relaxed and took care of answering all the questions I asked and then more. But, all in all, painless procedure was a success... my main reason for being there.
He took very good care of my procedure today.
Had a great outcome after the procedure
He listened carefully
Dr Igolnikov is always so pleasant and seems to really care. I was very pleased with how my visit was handled.
Very patient centered: listens well, takes time to explain everything. Validates my own knowledge of my body, my pain. Humble and personable. Instills confidence, that I have the right provider and treatment plan! Highly recommend him!
