Professional and caring…read more I had a total shoulder replacement, and am very happy with the experience. The procedure was explained, and follow-up physical therapy allowed for my arm to reach areas inaccessible for years. As a medicare recipient living alone, I was able to participate in a program having a person come to my home to help with chores. I was assigned a nurse coordinating the different aspects of care (doctor visits, physical therapy, home care) receiving phone calls to ensure all was good.

I would like to make this clear this review is only with the way they bill things. It is very…read moreunclear on how this works. I had surgery and follow up visits and the doctors and nurses were great but the way this facility bills is crazy. The department bill separately and collect separately. We were only made aware of this by time my surgery bill would have been sent to collections. The surgery billing department was more than unpleasant to deal with even the supervisor. Never was told about payment plans but they were more than willing to take money monthly until they put us into collections. Hard lesson learned but the willingness to help out in a simple misunderstanding is unfortunate.

Fair warning. Do not use Physicians immediate care on Sandy Hallow & Alpine. Their staff is lazy…read moreand completely rude. They don't close until 8pm. We got there at 7:30. They had the lights dimmed to appear closed. I walk in and nobody was at the front desk. I could hear laughing coming from the back room. Three minutes later what looked like a nurse came out and refused to help me. I called this morning and was told if I was there by 7:30 that I could be seen. This is not the first time that I've had problems at that location. I was supposed do do a pre employment drug screen. Now because of laziness and ignorance. I might miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm so disappointed and upset that I don't know what to do. Physicians Immediate Care do better!

Dr Baig This was one…read moreof the worst medical experiences I've ever had. I came to this doctor with serious symptoms affecting my entire body, including burning, swelling, and pain in both the front and back of my legs, all of which began directly after a chiropractic adjustment. Despite this, he only assessed one small area of my spine, completely ignoring the rest of my symptoms. It was careless and frankly ridiculous. He showed no curiosity, no compassion, and no urgency. I had to ask him to review my MRI with me -- something that should have been done automatically. He dismissed the radiology report outright, claimed there was "nothing wrong," and insisted there was "no nerve root compression," even though the report said otherwise. He then ordered X-rays for some reason, despite already having my MRI in hand. There was no neurological or muscular testing, no treatment plan offered, no discussion of medications, and zero guidance about what I should do next. I had to make suggestions myself, which he scoffed at. He didn't listen, didn't help, and clearly didn't care. I left that appointment with no answers, no support, and no hope. This doctor was completely unhelpful and dismissive at a time when I needed real care. If you're in pain and looking for someone to take you seriously, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

The surgeon was excellent- Dr. Thom…read more One thing that also helped is we had prepared prior to the surgery by buying the appropriate equipment (wheelchair, toilet bars for support in getting up, etc). So we were able to follow the doctors orders exaxtly with regards to non weight bearing. Following all of the doctors instructions to the t, being prepared, choosing the right surgeon, will all combine for a positive outcome.

PA-C Christina Tortorici is very kind, and has a bubbly personality. But she told me that I…read moreshouldn't worry about a blood clot from my leg after an injurty since "Blood clots rarely originate in the legs", which is not at all true. She prescribed narcotic to me for pain, but with the medication I already take, this was not at all the right prescription for me. I would use caution if she advises you when you need medical care.

When I have needed physical rehab in the past, I have gone to OSF, excellent but often overbooked…read more Since Ortho Illinois in Machesney Park was close to my home at the time, I decided to give it a try when I injured my leg. Big mistake. Perhaps if you are a young athlete, they might treat you differently, but as a middle-aged woman I was made to feel as if I was an imposition and simply not worth their time. The man who took my initial info. rarely made eye contact, not a good start. Then every time I went in, I was sent to a different therapist, so I would have to go over my condition each time. The space at this location is so limited that patients are often standing right next to each other on a small mat trying to do exercises without touching each other. Honestly, this was the most unprofessional, uncomfortable environment. Still, I completed my scheduled appointments as I wanted to get better, but since my improvement was non-existent and every visit was misery, I refused their suggestion to extend my therapy. I ended up getting another order from my doctor and went to NW in Sycamore, the best I have found in the area, and I improved each day. Maybe other locations for Ortho Illinois are better, but I would strongly advise checking them out first.

I was treated with the finest care and Dr. Barba's office staff is wonderful. Dr. Barba is an excellent surgeon! His bedside manner is terrific.
