I have been dealing with Medi-Help for over 5 years now. I feel lucky and blessed to find this place comparing to UPMC and Allegheny Health System. With Medi-Help it is all about you and your health and well being not just money. The main reasons why I love this place is Dr. Nenad Janicijevic and Dr. Bora Janicijevic and how up to date and knowledgeable they are. It is funny that when I see Dr. Nenad Janicijevic at Medi-Help I get charge $25 only but if I met him at the ER I will pay a few thousand dollars for the same doctor. Dr. Nanad is an Emergency Physician and he is an Emergency Medicine physician for over 35 years. I would give the credit to Dr. Nenad Janicijevic for why I am still alive right now after I tested positive for COVID 19. Even a few years ago when I had the Flu type A. They took good care of me. A few years ago I recommended this place to all my friends and family and all of them go there now. Where else could we go! there is no place such as this place. It is not about how affordable the place is. It is also about the quality of the treatment and the knowledge they have. They are like a small hospital. They have X-ray, endoscopy tests, ultrasound, EKG, all kinds of blood tests, COVID Test (drive-through), and much more. I would give also credit to all nurses working there because even when they risk their lives and are slammed, they can help and serve patients. I highly recommend this place more than your PCP and your Urgent Care. You will know why when you go there. Thank you, Dr. Nenad and Dr. Bora for being my life-saving. I appreciate you very much.
