Dr Ikeman is a good,caring and kind physician., He listens to you and spends the time. However his current nurse and officer mgr are just the opposite. They don't call you back when you have concerns about your meds or even emergencies that may come up. You leave messages and no return calls-very poor!!!

I saw Dr Ikeman for my ankle which I had broken many years ago. I was to the point that I could hardly walk and the pain in my ankle was almost unbearable. Dr Ikeman gave me an injection in the ankle much like other Doctors had in the past. The result was spectacular. My ankle has not felt this good in years. I got more relief from the injection from Dr. Ikeman than any of the other injections over the past 20 + years. It was amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Ikeman. David G.

I have been very pleased with the treatment I have received from Dr. Ikeman. I find him to be a good diagnostician.

I'll admit that Dr. Ikeman is a good rheumatoid doctor. However, I recently got fired as a patient for non-payment of a bill that I didn't know existed. I paid my co-pays, and asked if there was anything else I owed at each visit; they said no. My meds suddenly were not being refilled so I called his office only to find that I was fired! This bill I owed was LESS than $70!!!!!! I had immediately paid it when I heard I owed it, wrote a letter of apology and still he wouldn't see me anymore. That shows me he is about money, not people. I honestly thought he cared about me and my RA! I am in a lot of pain now as my medications were stopped. He couldn't just fill a months worth to give me time to find another doctor? I'm very hurt by this. Good luck to you...hope you don't have an unknown bill too. :(

Dr. Ikeman is the best physician I have ever been to. He is thorough, kind, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. He is, without a doubt, a "class-act" physician.
