A doctor who listens, always explains things in a way I can understand. One of the best doctors I’ve ever had. Usually in & out within an hour.

This was my first visit and I was nervous about the care service I would receive. Dr. Ivker walked into the room as calm as a cucumber and began talking with me as if we grew up together. He asked me all of the questions regarding my medical history and made pertinent decisions on how he would approach my health in getting better. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me and the symptoms I’m experiencing, but he shared with me a detailed plan on how we will figure it out. He gave me excellent service as he was very courteous and knowledgeable in a timely manner.
