Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Initial visit he was 50 min late to the tele appt which his office changed, spent 6 minutes with me, never asked me to walk or move, said he would mail me an order for labs and i was to go wherever. I gave as much history as i could in the time he allowed. He was very dismissive. I had to turn in my progress note to my disability company and he answered questions he never asked. Stated gait was normal but he never witnessed me walk, said i had no symptoms when i had many. This hindered me getting disability when the doctor did not properly assess. I messaged him concerning the misinformation and how I would get a diagnosis or proper treatment if he didn't know the correct information. He wrote back one sentence I will update the medical record. That was all. I continued to wait for my lab order and it never came he had submitted it to quest. I found out when i went for labs for another provider. He should be ashamed of himself especially being an initial new pt visit.

I am so pleased I chose Dr Zovkovic. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable…and explains things in an easily understandable way. I’ve never felt rushed, he pays close attention to things I say, and is very personable …which are rarities among specialists with his level of accomplishments and reputation. Outstanding!

Dr. Z was spot on and confident with my diagnosis where other doctors were not. He was personable and took the time to personally stop by my other neurologists’ office to discuss my symptoms and diagnosis. Very happy we found him and even happier to have him as one of my doctors.

I have seen two other neuromuscular specialists and I’ve found Dr. Zivkovic to be the most engaging. Unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done to improve my situation, but he is very understanding and tries to help anyw he can.

I was referred to Dr. Sasa Zivkovic by my neurologist for an EMG. He and a technician completed the 2 parts of the test. I was cooperative and responsive.He asked very few questions. I was extremely disturbed when he refused to discuss the outcome and results of the test, which were at hand and refused me a copy of his findings. He said I could get copy from my doctor. He did not appear to think I deserved an explanation of my condition, though my insurance pays him. No information provided me.

Worst neuroligist I've ever seen. Waited 1 hr and still he did'nt examine me and barely talked to me. Useless.
