Dr. Alrashid, I don't know where to begin.... You were so kind to accept a patient you've never met on a Monday morning and squeeze me in to your packed schedule for an upper GI. When you didn't find the cause of my bleeding, you kept me the entire day at your center to continue evaluating me until you found the diagnosis. You then made the proper references to other specialists and saved me. You were so gracious to follow up not just that night but the next day. You are truly a man of great honor, skill, talent and integrity. I will never forget what you did for me! I don't even know how to begin to thank you! read more

I've been going to Dr Alrashid for 8 years and he and the team have always provide first class professional caring services from the initial visits through the procedure and after care. Provide great communication and open to questions all done with friendly service mined approach. The Dr and team are now practicing from their new state of the art facility in Libertyville. Same great caring team just in a location. I highly recommend Dr Alrashid! read more

My family and I have been long time patients of Dr. Alrashid. He has always provided the best of care for all of us and in the most professional manner. His new practice is beautiful. His staff, new and old, are all amazing. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Alrashid for 24 years. I can honestly say he has kept me alive. I need yearly EDG/colonoscopies due to genetics. He and his team are so professional, so caring. They make a difficult experience truly bearable. They answer any questions and keep you informed as needed be. So glad they are finally up and going in their new facility. Thank you! See you next year. Oh and my husband comes here too. read more

This guy's rating is inflated by people giving 5 stars to his old office staff, his old company's facilities, and for colonoscopies. I don't know how you give someone 5 stars for something you slept through. I've had a few colonoscopies at other places and have never had one that was better or worse than the others. My review of this man as a physician: I went to see this guy after having my first diverticulitis flare in 5 years. It was uncomplicated, barely bothered me, and I had lost 70 pounds by completely changing my lifestyle since my previous flares. This guy immediately told me I need surgery without any questions. I was absolutely shocked because I was hardly bothered by it at all, so I asked, "You think so?" His egomaniacal answer was, "I know so, buddy." He then proceeded to manipulate facts and figures, omit information, and flat out lie to me about why I needed the surgery. For instance, he told me if I didn't get the surgery I was going to 100% keep getting flare ups and I was going to have a guaranteed perforation. I have found out since that there is an exactly 1% chance of uncomplicated diverticulitis perforating. That's hardly a guarantee. There is a much greater guarantee of complications from the surgery (90+%) sibo (68%) and declined quality of life (99%). If I had known any of those LEGITIMATE facts, I would have never agreed to this surgery. I have seen multiple specialists and COMPETENT GIs since who told me they would never suggest this surgery for mild, uncomplicated diverticulitis because of the terrible risks for complications. This guy absolutely ruined my life. The only reason I can think of is that he wanted to throw a surgery to his ancient and equally inept cohort, Dr. Giulianotti, who put a right angle in my colon that now causes constant constipation. Prior to the surgery, I was riding my bike an hour a day 5 days a week covering 18-20 miles, I was eating an extremely healthy diet, I had no digestive issues, I had tons of energy, low blood pressure, immaculate bloodwork, no bathroom issues whatsoever, and a happy life. I was told by this guy and his surgeon pal that I would be "better than ever" in a month or two. That is the biggest lie I have ever been told, and it was the only reason I agreed to surgery. Not one facet of my life was improved by this surgery, and gigantic pieces of my mental and physical health were irreparably destroyed. I haven't ridden my bike in over a year because I have no energy and I develop palpitations for weeks after I attempt to ride. I developed SIBO after the surgery that destroyed my body. I lost thirty pounds in 3 weeks. I developed afib as a zero risk patient because of the malnutrition due to the sibo caused by this guy's ineptitude. I cannot sleep at night because of constant stomach discomfort, pain, bloating, gas, etc. My mental health has been destroyed, and that has destroyed my previously healthy relationships with my children and wife. I am exhausted, angry, depressed, in constant discomfort, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do any of the things that I could before I met this guy. I can only hope that this message reaches someone who has been bullied and gaslit by this man and helps them make a better decision about who they trust with their life. Please, please, please pick a different doctor if you are reading this. This man is either incompetent or shady. Either way you don't want him as your doctor. read more

Dr. Arkan Alrashid is a fantastic, compassionate and skillfully empathetic doctor. He has worked on me, My father-in-law, My mother-in-law, my son, my wife, and my Ma. The reason that I first went to Doctor Alrashid was after my previous doctor had retired. That was about 20 years ago. Since then, he has applied his skill and craft to the rest of my family, and to also, some of my friends. I trust Doc with not only my life, but with the lives of all of the family members of mine who also trust him. He had found cancer in my father-in-law George. It was the type of cancer, that needed to be removed immediately as it was fast growing. He arranged for the extraction at U of I medical center. An associate of Doc flew in from Italy to do a bloodless surgical extraction for my father-in-law. George was back to himself in a couple of days. It also is very difficult to find a Doctor who have his international medical connections. Not only is he my Doctor, He's also my friend. And I have complete faith and trust in him. I don't give my trust easily, so he is a really good one. Respectfully, John P. Sorg Waukegan Illinois read more

The entire staff along with Dr. Alrashid were friendly and understanding. Being overdue for a colonoscopy, I appreciated the detailed explanation of the prep and assurances that I would do well. Prep day went well since the tablets-with-water method worked gently on my system. Exam day was very pleasant and efficient in a spotless facility, so I was relaxed. The exam and recovery were over quickly and I trust the Doctor will have a relevant treatment plan for my issue. Thanks to all for a pleasant "first colonoscopy". read more

I highly recommend the Dr. Alrashid and his team. They took great care of me from the moment I stepped in their office until walking me out to the car after the procedure.

I was so happy I asked a friend for a recommendation of a GI Specialist. He highly recommended Dr Alrashid and his team. We received a detailed explanation for the procedure and when the appointment day came, I understood why someone wrote in the reviews they felt like they were on a "spa" treatment. Everyone was so nice, and everything went so fast and very well organized, that I had the feeling I was in and out in no time. Dr Alrashid greeted us as old friends and the Anesthesiologist Chanda Von Heimburg with a charming smile on her face had me fallen asleep in two seconds. After the procedure Dr Alrashid came to see how I was doing and comment on the health report. Compassionate, caring and professional - Dr Alrashid, CRNA Chanda Von Heimburg and their team, I highly recommend them for any GI procedures! read more

12/11/22: Dr. Alrashid is very nice, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. He has performed many office procedures on me and diagnosed a very severe issue, and with robotic surgery (from a specialist surgeon at UIC) has SOLVED my problems. I trust his medical opinions AND decisions to the max. He has been my wife's and my gastro doc for over 8 years. Nothing he has ever said or done would lead us to seek out another gastro doc. His office staff are always very nice and accommodating. A+ read more

Dr. Alrashid did a great job on my colonoscopy. Wonderful bedside manner. Very friendly. His staff at the procedure were also very friendly and quite capable. Everything was very easy and painless. As with any preparation, it's not the most fun thing to do, but using the pill approach was much more effective and considerably less pain where the action is happening. The actual colonoscopy was zero discomfort. I felt wonderful within 5 minutes of waking up. read more

They are the best! As a health care provider my self, Dr. Alrashid is very knowledgeable and very professional.He explains in detail what he will do and takes his time to talk after procedures are completed.

Dr. Alrashid is the most compassionate, caring, and committed to his profession doctor I know. He rearranged his schedule to perform a colonoscopy on my husband and squeezed him into his busy schedule to discuss the results. Then arranged a office appointment with the surgeon all within a week. If it was not for Dr Alrashid our positive outcome from a horrible diagnosis could of been much different. Forever grateful to Dr. Alrashid !! read more

Dr. Alrashid was kind, compassionate. He took the time to explain the procedure, answer all questions and thoroughly reviewed my results with my wife and I after my colonoscopy. His caring personality resonated throughout his staff. I was so happy with his service that I scheduled another visit for an endoscopy. The overall experiences starting from the pre op nurse through post op care were amazing. Anesthesia, performed by Chanda Von Heimburg, CRNA, was fantastic. She made me feel as if this was a "spa" atmosphere. Perfect sedation and procedures. I would highly recommend both Dr. Alrashid, CRNA Von Heimburg, and this spa for all of your gastroenterology procedures. 5 STARS! read more

My husband and I had both had procedures with this doctors office. They assured me they understood my benefits and I could have it done there.

I was assured they would check but they did not I have no way of checking myself and they will no nothing to accomodate us. read more
