Reviews of Dr. Ivica Ducic, MD - Washington Nerve Institute (Plastic Surgery)

Dr. Ducic was by far the best doctor 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 would recommend Dr. Ducic to anyone!

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.

Dr. Ducic is a pioneer in treating nerve surgeries for patients with severe TBI. His talents are beyond measure.

Dr. Ducic was able to repair nerves in my lower ankle on both sides. He tells it like it is and if very straight forward. He is an amazing surgeon. None better.

I was referred to Dr. Ducic after four surgeries on my right foot. I initially broke my fifth rt. metatarsal which resulted in the development of a Morton's Neuroma. After the excision of the Morton's Neuroma I developed an actual very painful neuroma in the ball of foot and had it removed. At this point, no one wanted to touch my foot as another neuroma almost immediately developed. My surgeon in Atlanta referred me to another Podiatry Surgeon who in turn referred me to Dr. Ducic...a blessing! He accepted my case and from the first appointment, explained the possible outcomes good and bad. Was extremely knowledgeable and knew immediately exactly where my pain was and what was causing it. I completely trusted his evaluation and the surgery was done. I had two nerves in the bottom of my right foot literally rebuilt. The surgery was a success...AMAZING‼️. Because the surgery was a success, I had a sixth surgery completed just recently to release nerve entrapment in my rt. leg. Unbelievable!!! The constant electrical pain...GONE

Scam scam scam. Are not in network with any insurances and try to make you believe that they are your last hope in having surgery and therefore tricking you in to paying for your surgery so you are spending thousands of dollars. If you want a good doctor especially who has experience with TOS go see Dr. John Barbour in Fairfax. He is in network with most insurances and he is actually more knowledgable and thorough.

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!

Dr. Ducic and his staff are friendly, beyond helpful, and make you feel like the only patient they have. Not only did he spend a great deal of time with me but he never rushed appointments and answered all questions thoroughly. He was prepared with easy to understand diagrams and explained my procedure completely. He even went as far as to call me the night after surgery to check on me and give me his number to call him with any questions or problems. Dr. Ducic completely eradicated my nerve issue through decompression surgery. He is by far the most competent and caring doctor that I have ever been to.

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 live able again. The resection operation rehab was hard, but my pain level now decreased from a 10 to a 3. Thank you

After exhausting all the options relating to my groin and nerve pain in the UK. I had excision of 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 and checks on my progress. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done.

i LOVE DR. DUCIC. He has the best aim during surgery and hidden stiches that are masterful. He is arrogant, but with every right to be because he is that great. He has a really good sense of humor when you know him and I understand he is even a great dad as well. He wanted to make sure I felt good after surgery and even called me on his cell phone to check on me. Gave me his number and told me to use it if I thought something was wrong. He has his own practice after leaving Georgetown. It is small, and because he is as good as his reputation there is a small waiting list for appointments. Occipital Neuralgia God as far as I am concerned.

I once told Dr Ducic that he saved my life. He told me no, he gave me my life back. And he was right. After desperately searching for answers to intense, chronic headaches for four years after a TBI, Dr Ducic knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. He spent a lot of time with me and my family explaining what was happening in my head, the surgical procedures and risks, and what to expect after. When I unexpectedly needed a followup surgery two years later, we were able to joke about it. His soft tone and gentle manner made me feel comfortable with him immediately - unlike many surgeons who have little bedside manner. The night after both surgeries he called me from his cell phone to see how I was and told me to call him anytime if I thought anything was weird or wrong. After my last followup with him, he told me “no offense, but I never want to see you again!” It was a perfect way to wrap up six years of misery.

I had been suffering for several years from incapacitating pain following bilateral inguinal hernia repair. Dr. Ducic performed a resection of the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve. This innovative procedure gave me great relief and I am again able engage in normal and strenuous physical activity without pain.

Dr. Ducic has saved my life! He is the most caring and thoughtful Doctor! I highly recommend him to anyone suffering from chronic migraines, chronic head pain, etc.

Alexis Speidel

My husband had a facial nerve injury from a ruptured sinus 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 he is still pain free and we have our life back.

The doctor and his staff are amazing. You don't feel rushed. He takes his time explaining everything in answering your questions until you are comfortable that you understand. He really wants to get you better and will do everything in his power to do so. I thousand percent recommend him to anyone!
