Sergey is not only compassionate but a very competent practitioner. You can tell that he is a man of his craft, an artisan, someone who takes pride in the work they do. He spends way more time with me than other practitioners have in the past and provides talk therapy, too. He really takes the time to understand what you are feeling and then makes medication decisions based on your whole situation, not just what the textbook might dictate. So far, he has been right on every medication call, even when I had my own doubts about what would be right.

It was good, meaningful, productive, and very professional conversation. It feels that Dr. Istomin truly cares about patients.
