Dragan Djordjevic, MD

Dr Djordjevic has been my doctor for over 20 years. The moment I remember the most was about 3 years ago. I had had back surgery and after returning home I had a few phone calls from him just to see how I was doing. About two weeks after the surgery, I had difficulty breathing and decided I had better get in touch with him. He said to go immediately to the nearest emergency room and I did. He said he would leave his phone open and be in touch with the hospital I went to. I had blood clots in both of my lungs. While in the hospital, he was always in touch with the doctors. At one point, they wanted me to sign a document for some surgery and I said I would not do so until I talked to my doctor. This was on a Sunday and he answered right away and said I absolutely did not need surgery. When I went home, I received phone calls checking on me. Aside from that, he is the absolute best and hopefully I will never have to see another doctor. He is always available to respond to any questions I have in a very timely manner. As I am getting older, it is so wonderful having a doctor that is always up-to-date on everything and I cannot imagine seeing anyone but him. Also, even when my Mom was sick I could call him and he returned my calls.

Dr. Dragan Djordjevic is by far one of the smartest, kindest and caring doctor that I have ever had. No one compares to him, in any respect. He doesn't make anyone feel belittled by any question or concern that we have. I have observed Dr. Djordjevic over the years with other patients, and he treats every patient the same. It is just who he is, He has a strong moral compass and is fully committed to every patient who has the good fortune of having him as their doctor. The world needs more people (physicians) like him. For me, it is a myriad of things that always impresses me about him. When I go into his office for my yearly physical, I have the distinct pleasure of getting to talk with him about an abundance of issues. We most definitely cover any and all concerns that I have regarding my well being. I remember one conversation in particular, when Dr. Djordjevic first got into MDVIP which I believe was 2007. I had been going to him since 1998-1999. The conversation centered around the reason he was excited and pleased to be a physician with MDVIP was a number of things. One thing in particular was he said by limiting how many patients he had down to a workable number where he could give more time to the patient in person with any questions or concerns , he felt that was a win-win not only for the patients, but him as well. By that I mean, he and I discussed the fact that when a doctor is overbooked throughout the day, the patient ends up waiting perhaps 15-30 minutes while the doctor is with another patient, running behind and when the patient finally gets to sit down with the doctor. its more time waiting in the waiting room then the actual time with the doctor. He liked and so do I the fact that even though the number of patients are somewhat limited now due to time and the fact that if you want specialized service, you are going to pay for it such as MDVIP or any other concierge service. I remember he remarked that he had more time to read more medical news and brush up not only what he learned in medical school but all new medical issues which are constantly evolving. Dr. Djordjevic's bedside manner and his knowledge puts me at such ease that I cannot fully express how much I respect him and appreciate him. He is very empathetic to the human race, which is refreshing. I also want to mention the fact that other doctors at Rush Hospital and nurses have all heard about him and how intelligent, kind and humble he is. Rush is a very large hospital but they all have heard of him and never have I ever heard anything negative about him. I could on and on, but I am positive that you will receive similar testimonials for Dr. Djordjevic almost identical to what I have said. By the way, my husband is also a patient of Dr. D and he would attest to everything that I have written. We Love him.

I've been a patient of Dr. Djordjevic for around 20 years. I can't point to one moment that mattered more than others because he has always been there - through the good and the bad - and has always shown empathy, patience, and a single-minded dedication to his profession. It doesn't matter whether it's an annual physical or a question about something throughout the year that may worry you, Dr. D is always available and explains very thoroughly what it may be, what tests may be done, and once completed, what the diagnosis & treatment would be. I can't tell you how many times in 20 years I've called him and he's always compassionate and patient. The medical field has changed dramatically over the past decade and the one thing I can point to that has never changed and always been consistent is Dr. D's dedication to his patients. There no one I trust more with my health and my life.

Several years ago, my brother-in-law had his annual physical with Dr. Jagic and because of his very expert physical was able to find my brother-in-law‘s prostate cancer at an early stage and perhaps saved his life. Dr. Djordjevic is the most thorough doctor I’ve ever known and I trust him with my life.
