I don't feel like Dr Ivker cares about her patients. She is dismissive, does not allow you to voice your concern and does not teat you with respect. I would not recommend her to anybody. I think that doctors like her should not be in practice.

Dr Ivker is a truly beautiful living legend who hails more inside information than a patient can possibly comprehend in just a brief moment. You must learn to listen; she is lovable at all turns of the phrase -- to have love is to give love. Dr. Ivker is 5 star in my vets for health.

Had been seeing Dr. Ivker for a couple of years. Went in for a regular check up and she immediately noticed a problem. She sent me to have Mohs surgery. Everything came out great. So thankful.

She is very cold, rude and dismissive. She does not allow her patients to speak when they are not agreeing with her or questioning her. I saw her for a consultation and I will never return to her. She does not care about her patients...it is evident by the way she treats/speaks to them.

Hi Dr. Ivker, You are a great Doctor and thanks for all your help! Who are these people giving you 3 stars? They must be crazy. I would give you a 6 but it only goes up to 5. Thanks

Poor diagnosis, not happy with what I was told about my situation and let me leave thinking I was cured, when I was far from being cured.wouldn't recommend her. Very disappointing

Scheduled an appt with Dr Ivker as a new patient. Don't know if it was my scheduling error, or the office. Did not receive a reminder call or anything, and received a letter stating I had been 'discharged' and can never go back. What?? Office policy is to get rid of you due to missed appts. Wow, would have been nice to know! Either way I had the appt down for a different day. This lovely Dr. did decide I could be 'reinstated', but at a cost of $100. I guess the money is more important to this Dr. than the patients seeking her professional opinion. Nobody can see where the error lies, so sounds like greed to me.

This physician can be very cold. She did not seem to care about me at all. I have never felt so dismissed by a doctor.
