All around good visit, doctor was knowledgeable and staff was awesome. Will visit again.
I apprciate the way the office is run, I was seen on time and was treated with respect.
Completely satisfied. Very attentive, detail oriented.
This office was completely unprofessional. I arrived and promptly gave my paperwork. I was 10 minutes early to fill out the papers because it was my first visit to this office. I then sat and waited 40 minutes, 30 past my appointment time. I listened to 4 receptionists sit and chat loudly about their personal lives, being hung over, and being bored with nothing to do. Eventually I asked about my appointment and the response, from the woman who checked me in was, are you here to see a doctor? She went to check on the appointment and immediately came back with the doctor. They found my chart outside a different office door. I asked the doctor and he explained that he was busy seeing other patients. I’d believe that except that I sat there for 40 minutes and the only patient called back there had left 20 minutes ago.
Very smooth and welcoming
Very kind
Dr Isakov was very nice however I felt the initial evaluation was super quick and not comprehensive. I had a bad fall and I wished he examined my head or something but he did not. His questions came from a list he was reading on his computer. I’m going back for the EEG and MRI results in two weeks and hopefully he does better because he seems really nice.
The manager really saves this place. Other than that I really don’t recommend. They were rude, and not clear about the test I had to take. My nerve test went very unsatisfactory. I barley saw the doctor, but when I did he was nice I will admit. But I still don’t think it’s worth going.
Was a very pleasant experience Thank you
Signing in and completing docs was easy. Front desk staff was on point. Meeting with the tech to take fuether info and vitals was ok, until he left and never returned. Someone from the front, I believe her name is Michelle, realized I was needlessly waiting to be brought to the doctor. I was on lunch so time was very inportant. The doctor was kind, gentle, attentive and I was very pleased with the service he provided.
He was very attentive, did not rush and took the time to ask detail questions. The only down side is the exam he recommended needs insurance approval. So I wasn’t able to get full work up and have to return for test when insurance approves. That was annoying.
I have been to Dr. Isakov twice now. Both times, he was extremely kind and listened to all of my questions and concerns without rushing me.
Was ok what I hopefully expected
Superb service!
The Medical Assistant was rude, but Dr. Isakov was great! Pleasant surprise since I expected him to be like his MA. Great bedside manner.
He was very helpful.
Not very caring.
Dr. Isakov is very thorough, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He made me feel like he truly cared for my well being. I was nervous when I arrived but I was rested assure by Dr Isakov. Thanks a million!
The staff was really kind. I got my appointment dates mixed up and they were able to squeeze me into the busy schedule. Highly recommend!
N/a
Dr. Isakov is truly a phenomenal individual. He’s extremely thorough and listens without interruption. He’s kindhearted and extremely intelligent. He was very present and ensured any questions or concerns presented to him were addressed in detail. I wouldn’t go to anywhere else and would recommend him to anyone. He’s fantastic!
He is soft spoken and very caring in the way he questioned you about what is going on. He os the first doc who didnt make me feel crazy about my symptoms.
Dr. Isakov is very caring and concerned. Showcases excellent bedside mannerisms, ensuring patient's concern is attended to inclusive of referrals.
The doctor is amazing, but their front desk is a nightmare. Completely inconsiderate of your time. I waited 15 minutes to see the doctor, but then they suggested I did a test, for which I waited more than 5 hours. AFTER that they told me it was my fault I didn’t have an appointment. NO, I did have an appointment, which I kept, THEY scheduled a test for which they didn’t have a slot. They told me it would take 20 minutes, not over 6 hours.
He is a great neurologist
Unprofessional, rude and overall terrible office staff. Was treated so badly and it was so unprofessional. Will never go here

Very pleasant ,very prompt and informative
My initial appointment went really but the staff who's responsible for getting pre-authorization codes from the insurance company is horrible. She had misplaced my paperwork multiple times in each time we spoken she has an attitude like I'm bothering her because I want to do her job.

Hes detailed and the only neurologist who diagnosed me with a neurological impairment which I never knew in my life . I had more testing done and looking forward to his expertise pretanding to my health issues . I am very pleased with his Staff being friendly and helpful made my testing experience more easier from a patient viewpoint . So yes do come to see this Dr .

The service was very professional and timely. Dr. Isakov was very informative and was able to relay the appropriate course of treatment per ailment mentioned. I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES!!!
The Dr. was very thoughtful and helpful. The office is really nice and homey. The visit didn't take long after I was called in. The staff are professional and thorough.
Dr Isakov is excellent, the kind of dedicated and caring. physician who seems to be rare these days. I’m very glad to have found him.
Not sure mixed feeling??? Dr was okay, office setting (cleanest) and employee seem overwelmed. So that was kind of a concern for me.
I was very pleased with the way my appointment went. I was seen in about ten minutes of being checked in, the front desk were very nice. My appointment was with Dr. Isakov, he took his time with all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and that I was satisfied by the end of my visit.
