He is thorough and compassionate!

08/10/2026

He met all my needs.

08/10/2026

Personable and informative.

08/05/2026

He didn't knock when he entered the room. He was rude. He didn't listen to me and doubted me family history. His exam was very very rushed.

08/04/2026

Totally appreciate the Dr I was given. Only issue I’ve got from this particular appointment was kind of a disappointment. First, I was called about a month ago asking me to reschedule my original appointment from July to August. No problem. Then as I was on my way to appointment scheduled at 11:40 pm, I noticed a text that wanted me to change the appt time to 8-9 am (or come earlier) which, of course, was too late. Meanwhile, I waited over 30 minutes to get into a room. I waited for him to come in, which he did, finally, but actually said one or two quick comments, listened to my lung sounds, then immediately left the room refusing to talk further or answer any questions. My husband and I assumed we were done and decided to leave the room. As we were moving down the hall someone yelled he’s not done with you!!! Confused, we walked back to the room and waited again. Finally an assistant or nurse came in and essentially threw some papers at me and said he wants you to get some labs done to show my Calcium amts and ??? Someone would call me to set up possible Reclaste infusion??? I guess I will hopefully find out something. He maybe spent 2-5 minutes with me. Crazy

08/03/2026

interesting

09/08/2025

Very professional and I feel he loves it La at my whole medical picture.

09/05/2025

Although it took several months to get an appointment with him, I must say that it was worth the wait. I feel a certain amount of relief in knowing and understanding why I am in pain.

08/27/2025

I went in with symptoms of side effects of the medicine he prescribed and he told the only symptom for that medicine was heartburn. But according to the information pamphlet with Alendronate that is not true. I experienced muscle cramping and pain, increased joint pain, abdominal discomfort, flatulence, headaches and dizziness. I informed him that I didn’t want to take the medication anymore. I have been 2 weeks without taking the medication and my symptoms are lessened.

08/27/2025

Dr Monev took the time to listen to my concerns and developed a care plan that makes sense

08/26/2025

Great Doctor!

08/23/2025

Seemed knowledgeable and very polite.
