I love it there
Dr. Dovec is a ROCK STAR!!!
Dr. Dovec is an excellent provider and I would recommend her to anyone how would need her care.
Amazing! She was recommended to me by a few friends and I will recommend her. So friendly, helpful and personal able. She respects you and just wants to help.
Dr. Dovec & the comp team are wonderful to work with!
Dr. Dovec is an excellent doctor. I would recommend her & like her personal style.
i have told everyone how great dr dovec is. seriously. she is so passionate about what she does.
This provider is very concerned & compassionate to the care that you receive I have a lot of confidence.
I was a little apprehensive about follow through with the procedure. After speaking with Dr. Dovec and her staff, I am more confident with having the procedure.
extremely happy with dr dovaccand her staff
Everyone I have been involved with at this practice has been helpful and professional.
Dr. Dovec is awesome as a physician/surgeon/person! Very professional, caring, helpful and informative. I am very pleased with my experience with her and the group. I do wish that they had later hours for appointments, but that is not going to make me stop seeing this provider. [...]
Dr Dovec and nutritionist Jana Wolff deliver a wonderful program that makes a complicated thing simple to understand. The focus on the grams of nutrients each day vs calories makes it so much easier to navigate. The positive energy they exude makes you feel like you can do it. In my case, doing a revision can be very embarrassing. But they were always positive and helped me figure out where I've gone wrong in the past.
Was a bit wary of procedure, but left the appointment feeling secure and unafraid as she came across as quite knowledgeable and competent.
Very professional, informative and friendly. Always available when needed.
Dr. E Dovec is the best. She came highly recommended, and I was sure she was overhyped, but, no, she and her team are just as wonderful as everyone has said.
Dr. Dovec is a passionate, caring professional who has inspired much confidence in me. She is accessible & down to Earth. I would recommend her to anyone!
Dr. Dovec is very caring and makes you feel that you are special. COMP does 100 surgeries a week, but you wouldn't know it by the way they treat you. Being 1 of 100 is like being a little fish in a big pond, but the staff, including Dr. Dovec, makes you feel like a big fish in a small pond.
Dr. Dovec was very informative & equally impressed that I was prepared and did my research on situation.
Dr. Dovec is the epitome of a talented, successful, well-rounded, professional woman. I don't think she will go anywhere but up and she is already a strong ivory tower. She is personal and professional and I'm so glad she is my surgeon. The hardest part of being her patient is that I have to share her.
