Dr. Ivica Ducic, MD

Dr Ducic is Great! He and his staff are Extremely smart, personable, and friendly. He knew exactly what to do to try to help with my over 20 yrs of migraines due to pinched nerves. My pain is Finally 100% gone after a few of his surgeries! Surgery always went great and the surgery teams were great! Please see him if you have migraines! It may be due to pinched nerves which he CAN help with!

I have suffered from migraines my whole life. They progressively got worse to where i had migraine symptoms 80% of the time. I’ve tried everything and neuromodular injections were the only thing that kind of helped some. I decided to pursue surgery with Dr. Ducic and it was THE BEST DECISION! I like his vibe and his office staff was so great! I woke up from surgery feeling better immediately. I am 9 months post op and I have had a 90% reduction in migraines. I am a whole new person and my quality of life is beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was so used to being in pain. It’s amazing what I’ve accomplished since my surgery! Thank you Dr. Ducic and team I love y’all

Compassionate, amazing highly skilled surgeon w/impeccable skills & bedside manner. Dr. Ducic was kind & listened carefully w/out interrupting while taking my history. I had years of pain and was not able to exercise or function correctly. I'd see innumerable physicians over the years with no relief. Dr. Ducic described realistic expectations for possible outcome. I've had 3 surgeries (1 for occipital nerve headaches and 2 lower leg nerve decompressions), each with great results. I have never met a doctor who was more caring about his patients. He is very candid and forthright and I really appreciated that. He also has wonderful sense of humor. He's performed surgeries over 30+ years, giving thousands of patients relief.His staff, office manager Inga and nurse Melanie, are amazing & just as caring and supportive as he is. They will try and get you in as quickly as possible.

bad communicator

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 Treatment indicated in the initial consultation was retracted in the follow-up visit.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!

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.

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. 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.

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.
