My husband and myself see Dr. Guy Kovachevich as our primary doctor who has been an excellent doctor with all our health needs. He takes the time with you that is needed and we have never felt rushed. The staff has always been friendly and helpful in every way. We have left messages with the receptionist and that very same day Dr. Kovachevich returns our calls. It's rare to hear from your doctor these days. He cares, he's fair (even above and beyond generous) in his billing. The office is always clean and neat. That is huge! We have no problem recommending Dr. Guy Kovachevih. read more

My journey through the American healthcare system has been both eye-opening and deeply troubling, underscoring a stark reality: health is often treated as a luxury rather than a fundamental right. From the onset of my symptoms in 2021, it became painfully clear that preventative care and patient advocacy were sorely lacking. This narrative is not just mine but a reflection of a systemic issue that demands urgent attention and reform. Under the care of Dr. Kovacevich, a new PCP recommended by a friend, there was a glimmer of hope. He suggested an MRI of my lumbar spine and a consultation with a spine specialist. Despite these steps, the journey was fraught with insurance hurdles, delays, and ultimately, misdiagnoses that led to irreversible damage. United Healthcare's denial of a medically necessary MRI based on their guidelines is a stark example of the bureaucratic barriers patients face, prioritizing cost over care. The diagnosis journey was a labyrinth of inconclusive tests, insurance denials, and treatments based on assumptions rather than evidence. From being misdiagnosed with Shingles without a rash, leading to a diagnosis of Post Herpetic Neuralgia, to the discovery of acute scoliosis and undergoing physical therapy, each step felt like a battle against a system that failed to listen or understand. The critical turning point came in October 2022, when my condition worsened, leading to a loss of peripheral feeling and paralysis symptoms. Despite the urgency, my concerns were minimized, and I was advised to "wait it out", due to Dr. Numerof believing all this was, was a "pinched nerve". This delay in diagnosis and treatment culminated in a devastating outcome when in February 2023 (through my own persistence and advocacy in finding a neurologist): a T7/T8 Spinal Cord Cavernoma (tumor) diagnosis that was treated with a complex laminectomy in May 2023, leaving me with irreversible damage and a disability. The lack of follow-up and communication from my healthcare providers, especially in critical moments, added layers of frustration and despair to an already challenging situation. The journey through misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and the eventual realization of a life-altering condition has been a wake-up call to the profound deficiencies in our healthcare system. This review is not just a recount of my personal ordeal but a plea for systemic change. It highlights the need for a healthcare system that prioritizes patient-centered care, preventative measures, and a more humane approach to health as a right, not a privilege. My hope is that by sharing my story, it will spark a dialogue and, ultimately, lead to a healthcare system that truly cares for its patients before it's too late. read more

Excellent physician and staff. They've helped me immensely over the past eight years.

Was on the phone having a conversation, with the doctor and you can tell the doctor was irritated, after asking a question he clearly said "Fuck you" while I was talking and tried to deny it. I should've reviewed this a bit earlier, upon my first visit the doctor took my blood without any gloves on which should been a red flag to start with. Trying to find a primary in this little valley is a hard task. Godspeed read more

We are here on vacation and my 10 Year old came down with the flu. The Uber driver recommended this place and I cannot say enough nice things about the staff and doctors there. When we walked in they let my son wait lying down in a room because he couldn't sit up. Then the dr was so friendly, patient and thorough with us. We didn't wait long at all for anything. I walked over to city market to get his meds and they let him wait for me (essentially babysitting him) so he wouldn't have to wait in the store for his meds. They went above and beyond and it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary for them. I'm assuming they treat all of their patients this way. So comforting to know there is a place like this because we frequent beaver creek! read more

Good location and great prices. Their walk in price on most services is more than half of anywhere in town. They also accept Medicaid. I have been seeing Doctor K for years and he is a solid person. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Doctors On Call - Internal Medicine Near Me - Avon, Colorado

I have been to Doctors on Call a few times, only because I thought it would be faster than waiting for an appointment elsewhere. They are a first come first serve type place and during my last visit I waited for nearly two hours before I was seen, which was annoying because someone who was there for a fraction of the time was seen first. Anyway, not great bedside manner, and the doctor has on two occasions treated me as if my concerns about my health weren't valid. It's odd because I have a male friend that was seen for the same thing and he was prescribed medication without further questions. Guess the research suggesting that doctors take male patient's pain or discomfort more seriously is true. Anyway, lastly, I was given a prescription that I do not have time to fill (I work back to back doubles most every single day) and was not even asked if I wanted them to send it in to a pharmacy. I called them to ask if they would send it in and they said they couldn't unless I dropped off the printed one they gave me. As if antibiotics are some crazy controlled substance. They called back later and said they would send it over though. So overall, low review score bc of their wishy washy nature, lack of bedside manner, and two interactions in which my pain/discomfort weren't taken seriously. read more

Came in with my boyfriend who needed to be seen on a Holiday (MLK day). Dr Guy was very thorough, kind and spent a lot of time with us, making sure he covered all the bases. After reading horror stories about area urgent cares, I would highly recommend Guy and his practice. read more

Always heard good things and actually had to go in today for bronchitis medicine. Extremely friendly staff and took care of me quick. Don't like going to the doctor like most people but they made it super easy. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kovacevich for 30 years. The most amazing event was when I was walking my dog in the icy parking lot, he got loose and I bent down to grab him, knocked my head on a car bumper and sliced my forehead to the bone. Dr. Kovacevich stitched me up and now it is hard to find the suture line. I had heard he had studied plastic surgery. Most of the time I go in for small problems and he is extremely attentive and is always available. His staff has always been wonderful and I am treated like family when I go there. I recommend him highly. read more
