I have never had such a thorough examination by a doctor. Dr Haimovic was wonderful and ordered complete tests to help me and ensure I’m ok. He has a great personality and his staff members are terrific as well. I felt I was in good hands (actually great hands!). Debra P.

I was waited for 2 hours to be seen after I asked to see the manager Sky her name she refused to talk to me The patients are taken without any line or appointments staff said the doctor is always late but for 2or even 3 hours?
Verified patient
Dr. Haimovic is superb! You can tell right away that he knows his stuff. He listened, he checked out my concerns and set me up for further testing to get a better idea of what’s going on. I was impressed that he called from an intercom phone and had reception book my dates for tests. I’ve never seen it done that way before. No fuss, no muss. If I wasn’t traveling out of town all my appointments would be done in a week! Best specialty service ever!
Verified patient
I like the doctor . He takes his time and is thorough but the office workers were not helpful and they had lots of tech issues going on
Verified patient
Although the wait was long, Dr. Haimovic was well worth it. He provided a very thorough examination, answered all my questions and did not rush through my appointment. He thoroughly listened to and addressed my concerns. I left feeling confident that my health concerns are being expertly addressed.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor!! Many reviews mentioned the long wait to be seen, however, staff and doctor were wonderful. The wait to see Dr. Haimovic was 30 minutes. The receptionist was professional, sweet and communicative. Dr. Haimovic has wonderful bed side manner. He was attentive, thorough and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Haimovic, as he is an excellent diagnostician.
I am a physician and can testify to how difficult it is to find a good doctor. Dr. Haimovic is one of the best I have ever seen. He took the most thorough history and performed the most thorough physical exam I have ever had. He listened deeply, took all the time I needed. I felt that he took my concerns seriously. I relaxed knowing I did not have to advocate for myself, feeling confident that he would find out what may be going on. Truly excellent. Be prepared to wait - he is generous to a fault and sees many patients so the wait time is sometimes quite long. But I assure you, he is worth the wait and will take all the time you need when it is your turn. So grateful.
I have seen Dr. Haimovic before. Usually there is a long wait and he's worth it. This time there was no wait at all which made the appointment close to perfect. He is thorough, kind, and communicative. I highly recommend him.
Staff is very friendly and helpful, Dr Haimovic is very thorough listening to all of your concerns and gives a detailed exam. Although the wait time is longer than can be expected, the care you receive is worth the wait.
dr. haemovic is a brilliant physician, and despite the unacceptable wait in the office -- today it was two hours -- and i got there at 6:45am for a 7am appointment - saw the doctor at 8:45am. he is definitely worth it. what a remarkable human being.
Verified patient
Excellent doctors who explain what they are doing and many tests done on site. Only negative is the very long wait time; scheduling needs to be improved by a lot. I waited over 2 1/2 hours before seeing a doctor. Office is very busy.
Pretty accurate
Verified patient
Dr. Haimonvic is kind, not in a rush, thorough. Just expect that you might wait a bit, and plan accordingly. The wait is worth it.
Good experience yes
Verified patient
I’ve seen Dr Haimovic throughout the years. He has always been and continues to be a fantastic neurologist. He is patient, thorough and has a great bedside manner. He is well worth any wait to see him.
Verified patient
Dr. Haimovic was like going to visit my Dad. His friendly bedside manner and knowledge exemplify what a doctor should be. His last comments to me were we need to get you out of pain. You cannot continue like this. And he did. All doctors should take their oath that seriously, and combine that with a warm and friendly bedside manner. What more could you ask for.
Verified patient
I showed up on time for my 7 am appointment. Shortly after I arrived, another patient arrived and said to the front desk, “I have a 7:30 and I was told there is one person before me but I’m a doctor and need to be back at the office by 9:30.” She was seen before me and I ended up waiting over an hour to see the doctor. Why is it my problem this patient-doctor didn’t plan her timing better? When I complained about the long wait to the nurse she said “it’s because he spends a lot of time with his patients.” He spent the standard 15 min with me. The long wait ruined the experience of seeing this doctor.

A real doctor that cares about his patients
