Not interested in learning my heath history. Made me feel like he already concluded a diagnosis before speaking to me. Rushed exam. Did not make me feel like he understood or listened to what I said.

The doctor did not spend a lot of time with me. He kept interrupting me when I would try to explain something. I felt as though he was in a hurry to get the visit over with. He basically implied that my issue was psychosomatic and offered no help whatsoever. I will not return as his patient

He gets straight to the point, and squeezed me in when necessary.

Dr Monev saved my life. He is always very thorough with his examinations. This time he noticed that my heart rate was very low and insisted that I go downstairs to Urgent Care or the ER to get an EKG. Results of the EKG showed I was in Level 3 heart block. Went to ER, was admitted and had a Pacemaker put in the next day.

Doctor Monev spent enough time with me during my appointment. He was very polite and at no point he was rushed. He did a thorough examination of my body/bones. He explained my diagnosis. Overall, I am very happy with my visit with doctor Monev.

Mar 24, 2025
I would like to see Dr. Monev get to know his patients, learn their lifestyles, then work out a medication plan to fit each individual. He doesn't spend enough time with each patient.

He seems very efficient

He didn’t listen to anything I really had to say. I couldn’t address my concerns or symptoms with him in full and he dismissed me for having fibromyalgia and being over weight with probable sleep apnea due to being heavier. So yeah he doesn’t deserve anything above 0 and he definitely shouldn’t be practicing in the capacity of a specialist let alone as a doctor in general if that’s how he treats his patients or prospective patients.

He is a great doctor and is knowledgeable in his field. Have had him since 2012 and hope to keep it that way for many more years. I have referred people to him and every one of them think he is great, as well.

Best doctor

Feb 14, 2025
Dr Monev is thorough and makes the best recommendation from a medical perspective. He works with you as the patient to discuss options and explain the benefits and potential side effects. And then works with you to realize a workable and evolving treatment plan/goal.

I have recommended a friend that I work with

Jan 6, 2025
I don't feel one way or the other about Dr. Monev. All I know is that he has told me that he cannot offer any other suggestions. So, I'm not unhappy with Dr. Monev personally, but I am not having much luck in finding out why I feel the way I do, physically or what can be done to ease my pain and tell me why I am so weak in my legs. Dr. Monev has helped me with some health issues. I would probably refer my family and friends to see Dr Monev for help if they were looking for a good doctor of Rheumatology and Osteoporosis Specialist. It just feels like I'm at a stand still in regards to myself. I am not saying anything negative towards Dr. Monev. He is very good at what he does.

Jan 3, 2025
He seems knowledgeable and answers my questions readily.

Jan 2, 2025
Not the worst or the best..but with a shortage of Rheumatologists in my area, I don't have much choice. Still can't believe he's been wearing a MASK for 4yrs. I have NEVER seen his face!! 😷

Knowledge of patient. Attuned to current condition and the need to make changes in the treatment plan. When options are given, I am very comfortable with his recommendations.
