Great personality and attentive. He really listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with the options he presented. This was my first visit with him as I wasn't able to see my normal Doctor. He and nurse Angela are both amazing.

Dr Ivker wrote me an excuse to be out for 3 days due to having the flu. On the day I was to return to work, I was still feeling bad and asked for the excuse to be extended an additional day. Dr Ivker refused and said I needed to be seen again. I made an appointment with the only available physician, Dr White. Dr White's nurse called me and said she doesn't want to see me because I'm still contagious. So, I'm too contagious to see the Dr, but well enough to go back to work to get everyone I come into contact with sick? Make it make sense please.
