Dr. Irina Y Skokandic, MD

Every time I see the doctor I get her full attention. Her diagnosis are always accurate and the time she spends with me is well above what others doctors spend with patients. She is a real old fashion physician who truely cares about her patients.

I have been being treated by Dr. Skokandic for a few months now for cluster headaches. However every time I go to see her she starts saying my headaches are due to depression! I am not at all depressed as I had explained to her numerous times, I am in severe PAIN! Since she didn't know what was wrong with me she refused to treat me until I got a Physic Eval. So I did the eval and guess what, I'm NOT at all depressed according to the specialist.This woman is harsh and interrupts you every time you try to speak and pushes the blame on you if something goes wrong with your treatment! She refused to sign my disability paperwork for EDD even though she was the one who placed me on disability to begin with! I had to get my attorney involved just to solve the matter and I still haven't been paid by EDD because now it is too late for a new claim form! When I asked to have a personal witness accompany me into her office so we could talk about why she is refusing to fill out my paperwork she… refused that too and I had to force an issue. Long and short of it all, run from this Dr. She is a horrible Dr. and very, very rude. I'm surprised she still has a license...

Dr. Skokandic is a compassionate physician who listen to her patients and spends time with her patients. Maybe the waiting time is a little longer than in others doctors offices but if your prepared you don't mind the wait. It is definitely worth it. Once your in her office you can be sure she will give you the attention ( and time) any patient deserves. Her dedication to her profession goes above todays standards. I highly recommend Dr. Skokandic as a Primary Physician.

The Doctor ha very little bdeside manner and talks down to you and is too busy hearing herself to listen.
