He is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled physicians I have worked with during my career, and he also has great empathy for his patients. Dr. Kovacevic is extremely skilled in explaining procedures and effectively manages expectations in terms of results. He is meticulous in his work, and he provides exceptional support to his patients throughout the surgical process and recovery.
While working together with the Yale University Athletics Department, our student-athletes received the most up-to-date and advanced treatments in sports medicine. I have great respect for the fact that Dr. Kovacevic is involved in research to help in the development of new techniques and innovations within the field of orthopedics. I can confidently say that he is the orthopedic physician I would see for any personal injuries, and the first physician I would refer my family members to.
While serving as the head team physical therapist and mental performance coach for Rugby New York with Dr. Kovacevic we got to do something rare and special, win a national championship in professional sports (Major League Rugby). That couldn't have been done without Dr. Kovacevic's all-encompassing medical care from running onto the field with me, suturing players after games, performing complex surgical procedures on our players, to spending countless hours helping with the administrative aspect needed in a demanding sports medicine team setting. His understanding of the emotional side to recovery from injury alongside the time he spends with each athlete speaks volumes to his level of empathy and compassionate bedside manner. The experience I had working with Dr. Kovacevic is the type that we all hope to have as both patients and clinicians with any orthopedic surgeon. I look forward to continuing my great working relationship with Dr. Kovacevic in the future.
