I’ve been a patient for 2 years and was the best decision I made. Dr. Ivker is very patient and a great listener. He has an answer for every question or concern I’ve brought to his attention thus far. Couldn’t have chosen a better physician!! Thanks Dr. Ivker!

Dr Ivker always put me at ease regarding any and all medical issues by utilizing his professional bed side manners. In doing so, I feel comfortable discussing any topic regardless of the nature. Even embarrassing issues. His calming persona aids him to extract the truth. Which gives him the advantage of giving the proper treatment for any and all medical issues that I have presented to him. Being that I have been his patient for almost two decades. He will be missed if he ever retires or leaves Brookwood Internal Medicine. I have family members that is also his patients based on my recommendations. This should speak volumes and validate my previous words in this statement. I highly recommend him to all the readers of this statement that I am submitting.

I’ve been going to Dr Ivker almost two years. His professionalism is always top notch. Love the way he listens to me and not only shows concern for my health but offers suggestions how to improve. In addition to Dr Ivker, his nurse Angie is the best. Very friendly and compassionate.

Dr Ivker always makes me feel heard. He listens to all my concerns and explains them in a way I can understand. I’m usually in & out within an hour. I came to him with a problem I’ve had for ten years and I felt better just three months after seeing him. He’s not hesitant to ask for more testing or send referrals to specialist. I’m so thankful and don’t plan on going anywhere else!
