Ivica Ducic

Fantastic and friendly staff! Having seen Dr Ducic years before, while he was at Georgetown University, thought i would learn more about my ongoing breast pain. In truth, I did not. Treatment indicated in the initial consultation was retracted in the follow-up visit. After keeping me waiting for over a half hour, he dismissed me after less than 10 minutes. Though a pioneer in his field, his rudeness, arrogance and lack of sensitivity was unexpected and inconsiderate. Obtain a second opinion and ensure a doctor you can TRUST!!

He does not have the best bedside manners. He did not even try to help me or refer me to someone else. I heard he is a doc for occipital neuralgia, not peripheral nerve damage or hard to find problems.

Dr. Ducic is outstanding. He cares about you, he wants you to be human...in other words, he wants you to be healthy and enjoy life. If you can see him, don’t skip the chance.

After EMG results showed severe nerve damage, to the point where the numbness in my leg was so bad foot drop had developed, it was only Dr. Ducic that showed a sense of urgency that it needed to be repaired immediately. I had surgery within five days and have since made a full recovery. Dr. Ducic is an expert in his field and is short and to the point, which I appreciate. My favorite part, the high-fives he gives to celebrate how far you’ve come!

Horrible communicator, rude and short with me on all visits. Ducic showed zero interest in speaking with me. He got irritated when I asked him basic question about my surgery. He was trained in Croatia NOT the US. Avoid Dr. Ivica Ducic at ALL costs!!!!!

Straight to the point. Tells is like it is. AMAZING surgeon!

I suffered a concussion and whiplash injury almost 4 years ago resulting in head and constant neck pain. I attempted numerous therapies and tried many medications without relief. I had a very poor quality of life. Desperate to get relief I had nerve decompression performed for occipital neuralgia by Dr. Ducic almost 5 months ago. I am happy with the results and feel that I am finally getting my life back. I was also happy with how quickly he was able to see me, especially since I was coming from out of state. His staff, Melanie and Inga, were great too and always helpful with handling medical and insurance questions that my family had.

I had a facial nerve injury that caused debilitating pain untreatable by medication for 2 years. Dr. Ducic was the first physician even willing to try this delicate nerve surgery. We had direct communication with him the whole process and he was confident in the path that would end the pain. It took two surgeries, but 5 years later I am still pain free and I have my life back.

Dr. Ivica Ducic is not only a genius; he is a doctor with perhaps the best and most admirable 'bedside manner' of any I have experienced. He correctly diagnosed my unusual complaint -- a nerve tumor in my calf causing foot pain -- something few if any physicians could successfully treat. His office worked with my insurer to cover the procedure and, seemingly effortlessly, Dr. Ducic took care of a problem that would only have worsened. Being in Dr. Ducic's care is a complete pleasure.

I am a 60 year old female that had suffered from migraines since the age of 16. Dr. Ducic gave me my life back by removing a portion of my occipital nerve and decompression. I have never been happier! I generally go to Johns Hopkins for my health care, and without a doubt Dr. Ducic and his staff outshine them. He and his staff are awesome! I asked him about another chronic health issue, unlike other surgeons, he did not recommend any further surgeries. He recommended much less envasive options.

Dr. Ducic is a pioneer in peripheral nerve surgery and is paving a new frontier for how patients with chronic nerve pain can live pain-free. Dr. Ducic is extraordinarily talented and is passionate about uncovering new medical techniques to advance treatment options. Not only is Dr. Ducic a gifted surgeon, but he is also an exceptional person who truly cares about his patients and their families. Dr. Ducic and his office team are top-notch, highly capable and loving.

Dr. Ducic performed 2 surgeries for various neuralgia’s I was experiencing after taking a nasty fall several years earlier. His expertise and knowledge was extremely helpful, and because of his exceptional skill set, my life has been completely turned around for the better!

When I was first referred to Dr. Ducic, I had been suffering neck pain and frequent headaches for at least two years. I had already seen a spine specialist and tried acupuncture, chiropractic and a pain management institute, getting only temporary relief. Dr. Ducic examined me and recommended nerve surgery to one side of my neck (not involving my spine). After he explained the procedure, I decided to try it and am delighted with the results: no more headaches, no more pain!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ducic. I had meniscus surgery that left me with an unstable knee&ankle.After seeing over 25 physicians who told me there was nothing medically wrong. I was referred to Dr. Ducic by my chiro. He spent the time going over my case and I never felt rushed. I felt heard& supported. I ended up having two nerve surgeries with Dr. Ducic and after surgery I have regained normal function. I even got to run and thanks to him, I have the chance to return to my sport

He told me that my surgery was sucessful however.now i can not even walk

Dr Ducic solved my problem which was decade-long and very painful. He is a skilled surgeon and answered all of questions beforehand. Very much recommended!

I was miserable before seeing Dr. Ducic, having suffered 9 months of horrible issues after being a victim of a car crash. I had seen doctors of every specialty, none of whom were able to solve my problems. Dr. Ducic is very knowledgeable, full of statistics, and empathetic, having survived a car crash himself. The surgery he performed was a huge success! I have very little pain; my vision has been restored; and, my sound & light sensitivities are greatly reduced. I highly recommend Dr. Ducic.

I am extremely excited to write about Dr. Ducic. For ten years following a craniotomy, I experienced fierce pain along the incision scars, affecting my entire head. From the moment we met, I knew Dr. Ducic’s priority was to fix the problem and improve my quality of life. Because of Dr. Ducic, I am now pain-free and living a better life. Consulting Dr. Ducic was the best decision I made regarding my condition. If you are in pain, I enthusiastically suggest you contact Dr. Ducic.

My name is Ralph, living in Europe and it was around January 2015 when I got a sharp pain in the right side of the back of my head(ON). Consequence was that before I was very active and now forced to be 24 hours in bed. I did not find any doctor in Europe who could help me but after researching I found the best doctor who listed to my problem, and really took action to make my life liveable again. The resection operation rehab was hard, but my pain level now decreased from a 10 to a 3. Thank you

Dr. Ducic is the best of the best! Not only does he take a personal interest in patients, but he listens and is never in a hurry to end an appointment. He cured my nephropathy through nerve decompression surgery and I couldn't be more thrilled. The best part is that Dr. Ducic was just as thrilled about my recovery as I was. He went above and beyond with my treatment and care, even giving me his personal cell phone number and calling me the night after surgery to ask me how I felt.

I was so lucky to learn about Dr. Ducic's research and neurosurgery practice. After so many years of pain, I am now free of constant migraines, balance issues, loss of taste and smell. If you are a post concussion patient, Dr. Ducic can get you back to your life!

Dr. Ducic was by far one of the best doctors I have seen! He took the time to give us the information regarding the surgery before the appointment to prepare questions. During the appointment, he made sure we were well informed and he showed that he really cared about my health. I had headaches for about 5 years before the surgery. I woke up from surgery crying because I was so relieved. Dr. Ducic personally, not one of his nurses, called my mom that night to make sure I was doing well!

I lived in agony for about 4 years,with severe nerve pain resulting from a benign tumor in my big toe,I even had surgery supposedly to remove the tumor,only to have the symptoms recurring in less than 3 months.Until I got referred to Dr.Ducic,since the nerve pain became so severe,causing even serious tingling.Sugery performed by Dr.Ducic,hastremendously improved my quality of life.Wishing I was referred to him at least 5 years ago.Very brilliant,caring & innovative. Thank you Dr.Ducic.

Dr. Ducic was very informative about the procedure I was going to have during the consult visit. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and is always willing to go above and beyond for his patients. My mother asked that he call me the night after surgery to make sure I was doing alright. No questions asked Dr. Ducic called my cell phone that evening to check in with me and see how I was doing. So happy I chose to go with him for my surgery! Just wish my insurance was in network.

I had a bad ski accident last January. After 6 mths in a neck brace and PT - I was hit from behind by a car and blew out my occipital nerves. The pain was unbearable & I truly did not believe I would ever get my healthy lifestyle back again. My neurologist recommended that I meet with Dr. Ducic for potential nerve surgery. Long and short - I had the surgery last September and within two days the excruciating pain was gone and within two weeks I was back at work a regaining my life - a blessing.

After exhausting all the options relating to my groin and nerve pain in the UK. Dr Ducic performed a excision of right ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric and genitomemoral nerves with implantation to muscle. I am twenty weeks from surgery and able to walk without a limp or pain. My life has been transformed thanks to Dr Ducic who is a caring, professional and gifted physician. He gave me hope when there was despair and I have returned to college with a career plan thanks to him. He keeps in touch.

My wife received excellent care of my wife. He performed an occipital nerve surgery on her left side and her migraine headaches decreased to Zero!

Hurried, not a good communicator, has been rude to me personally twice. Had two procedures done, first left ugly not well stitched margins, had to be revised on second procedure. Neither helped with the pain. I think he knows his stuff but with me does not have good bedside manner.

After suffering with chronic head pain for many years, and being dismissed by several doctors, Dr. Ducic performed a series of peripheral nerve excision surgeries on my head. He has a great bed side manner, he took time to answer all of my questions, and continued to stay in contact with me to see how I was recovering.

Amazing doctor and a great man. He trully helps people with all his hart. I am grateful that I met him. Dr. Ducic changed unexpectedly hope into reality. I had a migrene operation. Thank you dr. Ducic.

From the bottom of my heart thank you Dr. Ducic i am eternally grateful and lucky to have met you. I thought i would never live a pain free like. I lost all hope until i met this doctor where he told me that there is a way to treat this pain. I have suffered from Occipital neuralgia for 4 years. i used to have consistent headaches that lasts for hours every day. I was living a life that was not mine i was depressed and angry all the time. Today Its been 10 month since my surgery and I'm free.

I was unfortunately referred by my Orthopedic Surgeon to Dr. Ducic in the hope that he would be able to help me with the nerve pain in my left leg, foot and ankle. He did surgery and after he left me with more pain and and a constant nerve pain that no medication could help. I went back for a follow up after my surgery and explained that my pain was worse and in a one minute or less appointment he told me he couldn't help me and basically he was done. Run the other way if you can!
