Ivkov Boris B

I am deeply disappointed and upset with Dr. Ivkov. I made an appointment for my annual physical and expressly stated so while at my visit. He performed several diagnostic tests which are not covered under a typical physical exam and I am now stuck with over $ 1,000 in bills. After jumping through hoops with his office, the billing department, and my insurance company, I am left trying to figure out why the extra tests were done. I’ve been trying to speak with the doctor since October, but he refuses to return my calls. I’ve called every day this week, and still nothing. The level of disrespect this practice is showing for its patients is disgusting.
Now coming here I see I am not the only person that has fallen victim to this man and his shady practices.

Dr. Ivkov billed me, a healthy 33 year old male, $ 6000 for a routine physical.
I came into his office to introduce myself to a new doctor because I’m new to the area. He told me to go do some tests down the hallway. I thought he meant blood work. Instead I was hooked up to electrodes and eye trackers and heart sonograms — extremely expensive tests that he conveniently had in his office. He didn’t tell me what the tests were, why I needed them, or even the results other than a general, «You’re healthy.» Crucially, he did not tell me how much the tests would cost prior to instructing me to take them. Then he billed me $ 6000.
He violated his position of trust as a doctor for his own profit.
Do NOT trust this man.

I am 69 years old and working full time. Dr Ivkov has been my physician since 1998 and in part thanks to his outstanding care I am able to keep doing so.
