:) Click to report rating    1/19/10 5 4 5 Dr. Ilika has helped me with a variety of problems over the last 14 years. She has excellent bedside manner, she is good at explaining things so I can understand them, and she is very gentle. I love her nurse, Andrea! She gave me my guardasil shots, and I hardly felt a thing. I have recommended Dr. Ilika to several of my friends, and they all love her too. She's a real gem!

:) Click to report rating    8/25/09 5 5 5 I have been a patient of Dr. Ilika for well over 20 yrs. I have always found her to be very considerate, with warm and gentle bedside manner. At your initial meeting, you only change into a gown after she's greeted you and had a little chat. She is careful in her diagnosis and conservative in her recommendations, meaning she takes time to consider what's best for you without being pushy or recommending new/unknown procedures. I would recommend her to any friend of family member.

:| Click to report rating    8/5/09 1 4 2 Dr. Ilika's medical assistant was incredibly inaccurate with her measurements; she recorded my weight as nearly 15 pounds more than my other doctor recorded, and attempted to take my blood pressure through an incredibly thick sweatshirt. Dr. Ilika has been very harsh and un-helpful over very important telephone calls- I would NOT recommend this office or any of its staff.

:) Click to report rating    6/17/09 5 5 5 Dr. Ilika is an excellent doctor and great gynecologist. She is caring, but direct and provides excellent diagnostic and high quality gynecological care. She saw me through several major gynecological issues including fibroid tumors growing throught the uterine wall and endrometrial pre-cancer. You can trust Dr. Ilika to give you a thorough exam, bring important health concerns to your attention, and identify options for treatment. She may not tell you what you want to hear but she will tell you what you need to hear, and in a caring and professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

:) Click to report rating *  4/29/09 5 5 5 I have seen Dr. Ilika for 5 years. Always on time, always accessible for urgent matters, always get my test results promptly from her wonderful MA Andrea (she has been there all but the first year since I started going there). A small point, but always CLOTH gowns (so not sure about the previous poster and her paper gown) and warm speculums. She is very thorough and ends my visit by telling me what my most urgent health issue is... and sometimes it's not what I think it is! One year it was stress (and it's effect on my sleep and blood pressure) and she pursued a problem that I was not worried about with slightly odd spotting when it was still benign (a precancerous polyp inside uterus was discovered to be the cause). I love the happy office and that she does NOT do Obstetrics, so I'm not competing with pregnant patients for her time. Visits really are the full 30 minutes. And she has secure online email through her website. I used it when I was in Japan on vacation!

:( Click to report rating    3/4/09 1 4 1 She told me while in a paper gown that all fat people die young, you see no old fat people at a local mall, and humiliated me in her office. She could have waited to talk to me until I got dressed. She could have phrased things a little nicer. She could have done ANYTHING different and I wouldn't give her a negative review. But if you are overweight and looking for a gyno, do NOT go to this woman!!!!

:) Click to report rating    11/24/08 5 5 5 She is amazingly punctual. The best I have had in this area. Bedside manner and knowledge is also solid. She genuinely shows care for her patients and asks questions to really assess the issue.
