Howard Ilivicky's Online Review Report Card

Heard great things about this doctor.

Communication has been very difficult and frustrating. Front office staff are friendly enough, but they rarely answer the phone and do not typically respond in a quick fashion. My medication has been withheld by them if I do not have a future appointment scheduled, which has been very disruptive to my health.

After bad experiences with other mental health professional, I didn’t expect this to be any different. I started seeing Dr. Ilivicky in college and it’s been life changing. He’s always patient during rough patches, proactive during good periods, and always respects my opinions about treatment options. Couldn’t ask for more!

I have been with Dr. Ilivicky for many years... too the naysayers he has been excellent in my care. He does not push drugs on me... and listens to me and my worries, all which are private between he and I. He picks up on my behavior while seeing him... He is and always be my Psychiatrist. If I could rate higher then 5 I would... for me a 10.

Dealing with the office is like a walk in Hades.

He is the best doctor! He is so caring and smart and I am so blessed to have him as my doctor!!

I have been seeing Dr. Ilivicky for 5 years, and I had seen two psychiatrist before him. The first one misdiagnosed me and made my situation worse because of it. My second one was not properly addressing my situation either. Dr. Ilivicky was suggested to me by a friend who has now been seeing him for about 8 years. I live 45 minutes away from his office so at first I didn’t want to go, but after some things my friend told me that Dr. Ilivicky was doing to ensure they were getting proper treatment that my current psychiatrist before him was not doing, I decided to go (my friend and I have the same diagnoses and were taking one same medication). My favorite part about Dr. Ilivicky is that he lets me have more autonomy over my treatment than other psychiatrists have (even the ones I’ve seen in the hospital). If he wants to start me on a new medication he explains the benefits and risks to me and asks me if it’s something I’m willing to try. If I’m not happy or don’t see a result with what he wants to try then he respects my decision to discontinue it if I have been on it long enough for it to take full effect. If I approach him about a medication I want to try he explains the benefits and risks and talks to me about why I want to start it and takes my decision into consideration before making a medical decision. I never feel like I’m never unheard by him, and he always respects my rights as a patient, while also taking my quality of life into consideration.

He’s a good man and very good at what he does. People forget we’re all different and it takes a skillful person to diagnose something he can’t see. After a couple of tries, he prescribed medication that finally helped. And he is insistent that he is available anytime for me. He’s a five star professional

Dr. Illivicki is knowledgeable, caring, and by far the best psychiatrist I have met. He is so well-versed in pharmacology that he has me at my most lucent and happy without side effects or anything negative. I trust Dr. Illivicki’s diagnosis and remedies fully and know I am safe and well-informed as to our plan for optimal results. A+

Dr is good. Office staff is horrible.
