Dr. Richard Ihnat, MD

Thinks he still in the military, ask stupid questions, do you wear a seat belt.Worst Doctor I ever seen.

On the surface he is nice enough and knowledgeable but has become increasingly more irritable. In my last appointment with him be became visibly angry with me. I saw him for years and he was 'fine' for basic routine care. I never loved his bedside manner. It does not feel genuine and I never felt like I connected well with him or was listened to. It has become apparent to me why a doctor in practice this long still can accept new patients.

did not ask me questions about myself how I felt or my pain he seemed to be in his own world somewhat didn't always tell me what he was looking at and why

Very rarely listened to actual patient issues, often made me feel as if I didn't know my body or what I was saying wasnt making sense. Then after losing my job and insurance for 9 months, I found out I was dismissed as a patient with no concern about the medication or mental state as I didn't make an appointment although I had no insurance to even see the doc. I was basically blackballed from the entire office and now have to find a doc with new patient referrals which means I be even longer.

I have been seeing Dr. I for about 10 years. He is and has always been understanding and easy to talk to. He responds to my questions so that I can easily understand. Give me plenty of time to talk. Pays close attention to what I say to him. Great sense of humor. After my previous primary care doctor retired, I had a difficult time finding a good doctor. Dr. Ihnat was recommended to me by another doctor and I am glad I followed up with contacting him to be my primary care doctor.

I came to Dr Ihnat's practice when my insurance changed & my previous physician was not on the plan.Dr Ihnat &Dr Krasnoff came highly recommended. My insurance changed (again) &I stayed with Ihnat. Why? 1.He's smart & analytical & asked questions other doctors never asked. 2.His office runs on time. 3.The PA in his office is top-flight 4.The online system makes appointments easy to schedule. 5.Convenient location Specialists he referred me to have been A+ SSM is not"glam" but my care has been A+

You go to a small Dr's office to get old-world bedside manner. You go to a large one, closely affiliated w/ a hospital, to get access to state-of-the-art testing facilities, diverse specialists, etc. I made the right choice. I lost my doctor asking about my cat, but gained back tenfold w/ the amount of knowledge Dr. Ihnat has: keeps abreast of cutting edge medicine, knows quickly which specialist to refer me to if needed, & he's punctual and efficient. He doesn't babysit; he solves problems.

Dr Ihnat takes his time during the exam. He does a complete exam every time and makes sure I am understanding my care.
