I'm putting all fives here because I came to the appointment with pain that had defied a diagnosis and Dr. Svetska superbly explained that there were no structural reasons that could explain my symptoms. Of course I would have preferred for there to be a reason, but it was very helpful to understand what was not causing my problem and he also recommended I follow up with an endocrinologist on a separate issue. He was very thorough, sympathetic, and helpful.

Dr Svestka was fantastic! Knowledgable, down-to-earth, and caring. I was already scheduled for a minor surgery elsewhere and he explained that I could treat conservatively.

Everything was explained to a tee and all my questions were answered. I have never felt so comfortable in the care of someone else as I did yesterday. I definitely would and will recommend Inova. It was fantastic.

I'm putting all fives here because I came to the appointment with pain that had defied a diagnosis and Dr. Svetska superbly explained that there were no structural reasons that could explain my symptoms. Of course I would have preferred for there to be a reason, but it was very helpful to understand what was not causing my problem and he also recommended I follow up with an endocrinologist on a separate issue.
