Other than that, just be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes before being seen. The people that I worked with were at the center were pleasant, kind and patient. My only meaningful complaint is the television that is on in the waiting room. While watching Maury tell us who is or who is not the father is highly entertaining mid-day, it can get quite distracting while reading a book! The studio audience jeers which is inevitably mixed in with the obligatory multiple *bleeps* for audibly uttered obscenities. There is non-metered parking and metered parking nearby which implies parking is available.

When my Mom choose her doctor and began her chemotherapy everyone was very nice, couldn't be more helpful. She completed that phase Aug. 2009. In Oct she began radiation but at a different hospital. Tomorrow we have the scan to see if the tumors are gone. Needless to say there is much anticipation. Though quite robust at the start my Mom is no longer strong enough to walk on her own, it has actually come on rather suddenly after the radiation and she is also now dependent on oxygen. When we called the office today to alert them to the need for a wheel chair, (this is only the second time she's been out of the house since Dec. 31st). We were told that no accommodations could be made by anyone at Haematology-Oncology. She was further told by the phone receptionist, "We do not provide any service like that". I am stunned at the lack of consideration shown her! The receptionist offered no suggestions at all! We have no idea how we will transport her from a taxi arriving at the curb (parking facility is too far away from the 676 building) through the long lobby to the 21st floor offices of Haematology-Oncology. And then she must go to another floor for her scan and then arrive back on the 21st floor for the results, all in the same day. I hope that other families will not have to be treated with such rudeness. Though this group is affiliated with Northwestern, a renowned hospital, the lack of respect for the feelings of patients is unacceptable. It was the most inhospitable treatment we've received through this horrific ordeal.

I didn't see any other patients in wheelchairs or with oxygen, although there was a wheelchair parked in the corner of the waiting room with a big note on it that said "IN USE, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB." Maybe it was one that a patient came in. I had my first appointment with HOA, and it went really well. I just wanted to write a review to share my experience with Dr. Claudia Tellez, and the staff. Their office seems very well organized. The front desk greeted me right away, answered questions, and asked if I'd had a chance to fill out the paperwork they'd emailed to me in advance. I had, so I handed it over. They validated my parking, so it only cost $10 to park in the garage at Northwestern hospital (instead of $26). The $10 rate for parking is good for 7 hours. The waiting area is very clean and bright, and they have water and coffee available. I waited about 15 minutes to be called in for a vital signs check. Then I waited another 10 minutes in the exam room. Dr. Tellez was a very good listener, and very thorough. I didn't feel rushed, and she gives off a very warm, friendly vibe. She was professional, asked me a lot of questions about my health history and lifestyle habits, explained things in detail, showed me the test results my doctor had sent over to the office, and explained what everything meant. When I mentioned tummy issues that I have already yelped about, she recommended probiotics to help heal the lingering symptoms, and I was happy to hear that. I feel like a lot of doctors don't give probiotics the credit they deserve. So on that count, she struck me as pretty forward-thinking. She explained what she proposed we do about my situation, which made a lot of sense to me. She was very balanced, but cautious. I gave up some more blood for testing right across the hall at the lab, and the woman drawing my blood was very nice and professional, too. So I have an appt with Dr. Tellez again in 2 weeks. I know it's just one experience so far, but it was a good one.

And i have been seen by more than one doctor here in both buildings. They have valet parking available. Not sure how much it costs since i park on the street being a cheapass. It is a huge building with many doctors, so of course people will have different experiences, depending on which doctor you see.

I was fully expecting to wait two or three months to be seen, but by fabulous luck, I got an appointment a week and a half after I called. That definitely started things off on a great note. Dr. Helbing is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She's totally great about answering questions, even if they're bizarre and/or unrelated to the visit at hand (we talked about grad/med school admissions). And she handles the awkward questions - come on, most of the things that one asks their gyno are pretty flipping awkward - very well. She's probably the best doc I've ever had, and most definitely the best gyno. I mean, really. Nobody enjoys going to the lady-doctor. If you're lucky enough to find one that puts you at ease and makes the whole experience as non-awkward as possible? That's awesome. You might even be inclined to write a Yelp review about them, regardless of how strange it might feel to Yelp your gyno.

The front desk staff has always been polite and professional and willing to assist with matters of insurance, referrals and appointments. Our nurse Josie who was assigned to be our point of contact during chemo, was understanding and always answered our questions. She and Dr. Kaiser were always available-even when emergencies came up and followed up with even minor issues and questions. Dr. Kaiser was understanding and kind and extremely knowledgeable treating my husbands rare cancer. She was there for everything. Our family cannot thank them enough! In the field on oncology there is a fine line between administering treatment but balancing the compassion needed to deal with this disease emotionally- The Oncology Specialists does this well.
