Getting test results often required repeated follow-ups, and appointment wait times were frequently excessive. My most recent visit was unacceptable. I came in for a follow-up after a serious hospital stay and was turned away because the office claimed they hadn't received a fax, despite it being sent the prior week. No real effort was made to locate it, and I was even refused when I offered to email the records myself. Dr. Dyer never spoke to me directly and instead made dismissive, disrespectful comments to staff within earshot. Given the length of time I was a patient and the circumstances, this was deeply unprofessional. I will not be returning and do not recommend this practice.

She gave me an endoscopy told me that there was a flap inside of my stomach that is supposed to keep the acid out, but mine is not working properly. She never gave me a resolution. I've been calling her office for months, leaving messages. No return phone calls whatsoever. Then she refused to fill my medication again, even though in her own very words, this was the only medication that was left on the market, with the exception of Famotidine. She only works two days out the week Monday and Wednesday and I called leaving several message, begging and pleading for someone to call me back. Never received a return phone call for months. A horrific horrible experience. She did absolutely nothing to help me. If I could give her zero stars, I would. She should be ashamed.

Some of his office staff is another story. In my experience, they were indifferent to my concerns. They were annoyed with me calling and asking questions about my condition. My initial visit was with Marie. She told me I may need to change my medication for my Gerd. I had a swallow test. The doctor who did the test told me I had a problem with my throat going into spasms. I assumed it would be addressed by Dr. Afzal or his team. I'm a person who needs a little patience from the person explaining things to me. That is not something they have. I like everything about Dr. Afzal . Great doctor , great bedside manner . In my opinion, the Office doesn't complement. Dr. Azal's way of treating patients. A staff member referred me to another doctor to address my problems. The woman who called to inform me of that was cold . I recognized her from previous calls. She had the same flat and cold way of speaking.

My physician referred me to a doctor who had an extremely long wait list, (December) to me, it was way too long to live with a 'what if I have..?' So the scheduler suggested Dr Kulik. I live in the suburbs and the Northwestern hospital downtown location was a last resort. I arrived an hour early and Dr Kulik's nurse brought me back just moments after checking in. That was a nice surprise. Dr Kulik showed me the results of my blood tests, asked a lot of questions and was simply the best doctor to be on the other side of a scared, nervous and worried patient. She ordered a few more tests to include an MRI. Dr Kulik and I kept in touch via my chart as I'm a tech geek so I want to be on top of things..what were the results, What does this mean, blah blah blah.

She's an example of what a health provider should be.
