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

08/12/2025

I was extremely dissatisfied with my appointment with Dr. Monev. I told him my concerns and he shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t want to listen to anything I was saying that he didn’t agree with. He was unwilling to discuss things with my other doctors to compromise. It was the worst experience I’ve had with a doctor. I will never return.

08/12/2025

He is very friendly and caring about my well being.

08/11/2025

08/03/2025

07/29/2025

I really like Dr Monev. He explains my condition and concerns clearly and takes appropriate action for follow up xrays and other tests. This is my second time to rely on Dr Monev for help. I came back this time because he truly helped me the first time I saw him several years ago. I highly recommend Dr Monev.

07/28/2025

07/07/2025

His knowledge and desire to help is excellent.

Dr. Monev is exceptionally talented at making his patients feel secure about their treatment. He gives detailed explanations for his diagnosis and treatment.

05/28/2025

Not interested in helping me. Didn’t listen to me and tried to persuade me to see another eye specialist when my eye specialist referred me to him. Very disappointing and unprofessional demeanor.

05/27/2025

Very dismissive, does not listen to concerns, advised me to go to another specialist for something he should be doing, talks very directly and bluntly (which was about the only good thing about the visit) but is so quiet I had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. Ordered tests I told him I already had done twice, and seems to rush through the entire appointment. Does not seem to advocate for his patients or offer any help outside of the basic medical care.
