I really can't say enough good things about Dr Kotev. My 13…read moreyear old Scottie was diagnosed with a perianal tumor that grew very large in a short amount of time. He was in pain, uncomfortable and barely sleeping during the night. Our vet refused to operate because of the size and the location of the tumor. The doh also has a heart murmur, which would make a surgery more complicated. He sent us home with painkillers telling us to keep him comfortable for the short amount of time he has left. I brought him to another vet who said the same thing. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Kotev. I brought the dog to him. Dr Kotev did the surgery couple of days later. He did phenomenal work. It's been 3 months now, and I have the happiest and healthiest dog ever! No pain, no discomfort, and he is more energetic and happier than ever! Dr. Kotev, your kindness, knowledge and surgical skills are greatly appreciated! From all my heart - thank you!

A friend of mine recommended Dr Kotev and I am so glad we went to him. He's the most knowledgeable and kind vet! He saved our chihuahua which had a bloated tummy full of gas that was causing her pain. Before seeing DR Kotev no other vet was able to properly diagnose our dog. He prescribed medicine which helped and has saved us from surgery. He's very caring and will answer all of your concerns. Keep up the great work! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Since Endeavor bought Northwest Community Hospital some things have changed. Since the purchase,…read moreI've used their lab and their emergency room. There have really been no changes to their lab. You can walk in with lab orders and they will take you in the order of check-in time. Their phlebotomists are good, and results come in quickly. As for the ER, they seem to have a lower staffing level. I think part of this is I heard they are no longer a trauma center. If that is the case, I understand their reduction in staff. As with most ERs, wait times can be outrageous. I brought someone in who was in terrible pain - 10 out of 10 on their scale. How much pain you are in doesn't seem to matter in their triage. We waited a very long time before we were finally taken back. Once in an ER room, the service was outstanding. The quality of the nurses and the ER doctor were top notch. When we left, the medical issue was resolved, and although it is cliche, we had service with a smile. Aside from the wait time in the ER, Endeavor seems to have kept the quality of care up to par.

I have been working with Dr.Yelana Barsky for a foot issues for a couple of years now…read more I had 2 in--grown toenails including my big toes on both feet. Dr. Yelana Barsky removed my in-grown toenails. I healed after about 6 months. It does take a bit of time for your toenails to grow out and heal. I wish I had had done this surgery 30 years ago. I had Plantar Fasciitis on my right heel which was extremely painful. It felt like there were glass shards or nails digging into my heels. Dr. Yelana Barsky made 2 sets of orthotics for me. I used 1 pair for a couple of months without having any problems. After a while, the pain with the Plantar Fasciitis was so bad in my heel and in the sides of my foot, that the orthotics did not work as well any more. Dr. Yelana Barsky informed me of other treatments she could do for me. I decided to try Electro-Shock Therapy. Dr. Yelana Barsky performed 3 treatments. It started to improve after 6 weeks. Now after 5 months time, I typically don't have any more pain in my left heel. Dr. Yelana Barsky takes all the time you need to discuss your foot issues. She guides you through this process and is very patient. She is very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I would give her practice a 5 star review. Her support staff are wonderful too. I would recommended her practice to anyone who has foot issues. Thank you for helping resolve my foot issues. Julie Einhorn

I had a lower face lift and neck lift with Dr. Placik in October 2022, and the results have been…read moreseverely disappointing. The recovery process was very challenging. I've experienced complications such as fat necrosis and an ear infection following the procedure. The ear infection was directly related to the permanent suture that was left at the incision site, requiring frequent follow-up visits every 1-2 weeks for removal. These visits were quite painful as no numbing was used. I left the office crying every time. I've had some issues with communication and support from the office. After filing a complaint with the hospital, they recommended that I bring my husband to my next appointment. However, when we arrived, they did not allow him to accompany me into the room. I've never had issues with doctors in the past, but I found Dr. Placik's demeanor with no compassion. Post-op he was extremely rude, mean and dismissive. Based on my experience, I would not recommend him for any procedures and services.

After a consultation with Dr. Placik I knew immediately he was the one!…read more He was very thorough with my questions and also explaining the procedure. He really took his time examining me and then also showed me a ton of his before and afters. After seeing his work and meeting with him I scheduled my surgery. He's very down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable. The nurse that was in my consultation was super sweet also. I went for my surgery yesterday and met with a different nurse who was INCREDIBLE! So sweet and really too her time explaining all my meds and how to care for my body after the surgery. I am amazed by Doctor Placiks professionalism but also his funny character. He did a TT on me and the results are phenomenal already after day 2! If you're looking for an amazing doctor with skill I highly recommend Dr. Placik and his team. Also Angelica- the scheduling coordinator is sweet as pie!

Called the office to get a copy of my records. They have an "office policy" where they charge…read morecustomers $25 just to get a copy of their medical records. Two different people (one's name was Julie) lied to me and told me that it was free to get a copy sent directly to another doctor. Julie put me on hold and then "checked with her office manager" and told me that, since I didn't get a direct referral to another doctor from them, that they would still charge the $25 to get a copy of the records. Bottom line is: these people are impossible to deal with. They dig in their heels, and refuse to provide a simple service to their customers. You're better off finding a doctor's office who appreciates their patients, and doesn't nickel and dime them. On another note, Alan Loren will spend as little time with you as possible, and rushes to get you out of the office. I visited them with some specific concerns several weeks after having a procedure done, and he told me just to come back in two weeks, if it was still an issue. I wouldn't have come there if I didn't have an issue, so they essentially wasted two hours of my time.

In 2010 a member of this group practice botched my colon surgery. I woke up from anesthesia and…read morebegan to copiously bleed out. I was rushed into critical care and received 6 pints of blood. Over the course of the next 6 weeks in the hospital I developed pneumonia, a blood clot in my left leg. Also my stomach was so distended with blood and puss I looked like I was 6 months pregnant. My intestines stopped working and my stomach had to be pumped from the accumulating bile and decomposing food. I was at the brink of death on several occasions. The entire time the surgeon insisted I did not have a perforated bowel. He discharged me after 6 weeks, week, swollen and still in tremendous pain. 48 house later I was readmitted in an emergency condition as a cat scan showed 3 large internal absesses. I was given a pic line surgery to administer massive doses of antibiotics and a surgery to implant a drain tube through my right pelvic bone. Again I questioned this surgeon, do I have a hole in my colon. He denied it. Several days into my second stay around Xmas 2010, an infectious disease doctor proved I had indeed a hole which had not closed and was emptying contents of my bowel into my pelvic cavity. This had caused the assesses to form. The surgeon visited me the next day and I confronted him with this by saying why did u deny I had a hole in my bowel. Your incompetency almost killed me and I have suffered excruciating pain for weeks on end He smirked and said well u have a drain now and are on antibiotics the hole (fistula) should close on its own. Then he walked out of the room. On January 2 I was back in surgery, this time at Lutheran General. Dr. Prasad, professor of colon and rectal surgery told me in his 35 years of practice he has never seen a fistula of this type close on its own past 6 weeks post surgery. Because of the botched surgery In November 2010, I endured 3 more surgeries in2011. The first was for a temporary colostomy, the second to redo the bowel and the third and final in June of 2011. I don't see this surgeon practicing with this group at this time. I tried to sue for malpractice but was unsuccessful The reason they gave me was the doctor followed standard protocol. If that is the case, standard protocol almost took my life. It took a fine surgeon to approach my condition with specialized treatment that saved my life.

I went for the…read morefirst time last year (every woman should have a baseline mammogram at age 35, and then yearly starting at 40). Pretty terrified, actually. I've heard that mammograms are excruciatingly painful. And, sitting around in that stupid hospital-issue gown (with black socks!) doesn't do much for your dignity. But let me tell you -- the technicians put me at ease right away. Very friendly and explained the procedure step-by-step. The breast compression, while not comfortable, proved not to be the torture I'd imagined. The tech went slowly, and said she'd stop if it got too painful for me. (Staffers even entertained my infant outside, since she wasn't allowed in the room) When the x-rays came back inconclusive, they called right away and asked me to come back ASAP. I started to freak out, but the woman explained that a lot of women have dense tissue that requires a closer look for the first mammogram. Thankfully, I got a clean bill of health. My next appt. is in a couple of weeks. Now for the public service announcement: ladies, go get yourself checked out. You don't have to come here, just go. It's not something to dread. The discomfort is momentary and in the big picture, this could well save your life.
