Dr Ivker is an amazing physician. My entire family, my dad, my stepmom my Aunt Ann uncles my husband my mom all go there. He takes time to listen to you. My family has been going to him for 20+ years and we’ve never had a negative experience. He is also on time and never makes you wait long to get into his office.
