Dr. P. is a caring Dr. who lives and breathed his craft. You have to communicate with him , and he will and does everything medically possible to fix the problem. You absolutely must tell him what you are experiencing though, because like any other Dr. he is not a mind reader. Open up to him also, he is very personable, and loves being asked about his trips to Europe.

I believe Dr. Popovich is an excellent physician. HE is also personable and makes one feel comfortable during an office visit. He has been extremely through in reviewing my condition from previous visits to my present condition, and from there devises a plan of action.

My 1st visit with Dr. Popovich was in 1998 and I fell in love with Dr. P and his assistant, Freddy!!! Dr. Popovich was the 1st doctor to finally diagnose my condition accurately. Dr. Popovich is a rare breed when it come to doctors nowadays...when my oldest son was going to propose to his girlfriend...Dr. P took me into his office and recommended several restaurants on his laptop!! He has a wonderful bedside manner, yet at the same time he is strict on making sure you follow everything to get you healthy!!! I also love Freddy...he takes time to listen to you while he schedules your next office visit and genuinely cares about you!!! I will always be sincerely grateful for Dr. P for saving my life!!!

Dr. Popovich took an in-depth medically history, filling out the forms personally, then visually identified my rare condition in under ten minutes. He referred me to a specialist to confirm his suspicions, which he did. Condition had been previously misdiagnosed and mistreated for over twelve years by another rheumatologist, my primary care physician, infectious disease"experts" and countless emergency room staff.
