I think I found the best internist, EVER. Setting up an appointment was a breeze - the…read morereceptionist, Angie, is a sweetheart, and she was able to squeeze me in when luckily there was a cancellation. The office is located off of St. Clair in the Northwestern Memorial building (and there is validated parking available); the office is very cute, clean, and modern, and I waited less than 10 minutes after my scheduled time (which is pretty much unheard of; the receptionist also apologized which I thought was ridiculous!). I filled out basic medical history and such on their patient portal beforehand, which I thought was quite convenient and makes things more efficient. I was really excited with all the raving reviews on not only on Yelp, but on other health websites that rated Dr. O'Mara. When the doc walked in, she was extremely nice, very knowledgeable, straightforward, a great listener, gentle, professional, and very informative. She listened to all of my health issues as well as my thoughts and opinions, and basically gave me a plan of action. She took her time with me, asking questions, and the whole time, I was not felt rushed! The best thing is that she was very genuine and I was extremely comfortable, being a new patient with all these high expectations! There is a lab on-site, and the phlebotomist, Lauren P., was so sweet and kind, and drawing blood was not at all uncomfortable (considering I have a very low threshold of pain and am such a pansy!). Dr. O'Mara and everyone on staff seems to be extremely detail-oriented and organized (which I absolutely love). The high ratings on the doc do not do her justice - she really is AWESOME. I have a follow-up next week am actually looking forward to a doctor's appointment - isn't that crazy?! I am looking forward in being Dr. O'Mara's patient for years to come! +ask for Angie, the receptionist :D +Dr. O'Mara = AWESOME +limited parking (park at garage)

I wish I could give Dr. O'Mara higher praise than 5 stars. I have recommended friends and…read morecoworkers alike, and now I recommend her to you. Dr. O'Mara's office is a clean, modern one-physician practice. She exhibits all of the professionalism and knowledge I have come to expect and appreciate from Northwestern practitioners and affiliates. I was randomly assigned to her through Northwestern's physician referral practice after I suffered a serious medical event and I was shocked by how great my experiences with her have been. My initial consultation was in her office, where she interviewed me about all of my health concerns, family history, and really took the time to get to know both me as a person and my health issues. Despite a relatively complicated health history, Dr. O'Mara has gone above and beyond. She takes the time to research issues about my medicine and listens to my questions, no matter how silly they may seem to me, in a non judgmental environment. She has followed up on problems or before procedures through phone calls about things I, at times, hadn't even thought about. She is always eager to explain these things to me. She truly cares about her patient's well being and happiness -- even following up on what I thought about places she had sent me for a referral. In short, I have never received this level of care with any doctor before. Her assistant, Angie, is also very nice and helpful. To top it off, it's extremely easy to make appointments here, and Dr. O'Mara keeps an electronic portal where you can ask her questions, view your test results quickly, and access other features from your visits. If you need a new internal medicine doctor, visit Dr. O'Mara.

I found Dr. Fronza by recommendation of my general practitioner. I was seeing another doctor in a…read moredifferent hospital, and was told I needed to have my spleen removed. Hoping to find another solution, I went to Dr. Fronza for a second opinion. After he reviewed my medical history and spoke with me about my concerns, he proposed a surgery that would get rid of my problems and save my spleen. He fought for me and what was best for my body, and made me feel at ease. Every time I saw him, he thoroughly answered all of my questions and was patient with me. I felt like we made decisions together, not like I was being told what would be done. I had surgery with Dr. Fronza in December 2016 (he was able to schedule surgery right away - a week out) and all went as planned. He was able to save my spleen and get me back to being 100% healthy. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see him, and scheduling new appointments with Cindy were very easy to do.

Dr. Fronza consulted with me to perform a surgical procedure for an issue that he was not familiar…read morewith. Not only were the treatment alternatives scary to me but the fact that he had never treated a case like mine made it even more so. I found Cindy to be rude and abrupt. Most of my interactions with her felt like I was unwelcome to ask questions or learn additional information necessary for the successful conclusion of my treatment. Cindy directed me to email Dr. Fronza with my questions. I faced a stressful week between my scheduled consultation to my scheduled surgery. My questions most of the time were answered briefly. I ended up canceling surgery with Dr. Fronza. I felt that It is critical that anyone facing any surgical procedure have complete confidence in their surgeon. With my surgical date getting closer I decided to seek a second opinion. I found several doctors familiar with cases like mine in another state. I went to consult with a surgical specialist. While their treatment alternatives were similar to Dr. Fronza they were very conservative In their approach. Today I can tell you that my surgery was successful but I chose to have it done by a surgeon very familiar with cases like mine. The reason for my low rating, poor communication between patient and doctor. Extremely rude and hard to get along with office staff

I was a patient of Dr Wallner's for many years until a few things went wrong that I couldn't get…read morepast. These experiences caused me to lose my confidence in her. She gave me a Pap smear while I was having my period, which I knew would skew my results. At the time, I questioned her, she told me my fears were unfounded & not to worry. It was perfectly fine to do a Pap smear while I was having my period period. She then called me saying that based on my Pap smear results, I needed a uterus biopsy. I went to my OB/GYN, who told me she never should have done a Pap smear while I was having my period. Thousand of dollars later after a very painful biopsy of my uterus, I found out that I was fine and it was all unnecessary because of the Pap smear during my period. I went back to Dr Wallner and told her what my OB/GYN said & the results of my uterus biopsy, and she bristled and was very irritated. She does not like to be questioned. I also went in for a physical and didn't even undress. It was a 10 minute procedure and she was very cold and short with me. I did not feel like it was thorough physical compared to others I have had previously,. No breast exam, etc. She also referred me to a terrible cardiologist, who would not listen to me. I ended up going to the ER on my own against her advice and found out I my fears were founded after an angiogram showed I had heart disease.

I chose Dr. Weiler as my physician upon moving to Chicago 7 years ago and every time I see her I…read moremarvel at what a truly great choice that was. This time it was an injury to my arm. I misjudged the weight of a crate and ouch, that hurt. I assumed it was a simple muscle strain, but I'm no physician. Dr. Weiler, however, recognized my symptoms as consistent with a more serious injury and, thanks to her and her very professional staff, I had an X-ray, an MRI and saw a specialist, all within four days of my initial visit with her. There's no way I could've achieved all these appointments on my own. It's only because of Dr. Weiler and her staff that I got in to see a specialist that very same week. UPDATE: Within 10 days of that first appointment with Dr. Weiler, I learned I'd suffered a 95-percent separation of my bicep, and had the surgery necessary to correct it. Yes. All within 10 days. If not for Dr. Weiler, the injury I mistook for a simple strain could've very easily become so severe that even surgery wouldn't have been an option. Besides that, the specialist to whom she referred me was among the best of the best. Another win for Dr. Weiler. She's got a lot of those.

Dr. Sage is so calm, present, thorough, friendly, and supportive. Her care is evidence-based and she explains the "why" behind each recommendation. Like today, I went in for an annual physical, and she and her staff (MA Sandra is fabulous, too) explained each test, measurement, and the purpose and possible side effects of the vaccine I was given. The appointment started exactly on time and lasted 30 minutes, which is great. No one rushes you through! It is super handy having a lab in the same building. I just walked across the waiting area and was all able to get all of my lab work done almost immediately. Office is new, super clean, lovely lobby, free garage parking (if less than 90 minutes) and excellent COVID protocols in place including pre-screening phone calls, temperature taking, masks, distancing, hand sanitizer, and limited paperwork. We highly recommend Dr. Sage and our family feels super lucky to have found her!!

I saw Dr. Yoo to have a growth removed, and it was a decent experience. Nevertheless, everything…read moreelse was a mess. First, his secretary is rude and difficult to work with. Every time I have called to schedule an appointment, she acts as if she is doing me a huge favor. I have scheduled all of my appointments at his Glenview location, however, when I turned up for my appointment, I was told that the doctor was not in because I had been scheduled for the Chicago office. Even though I took the day off work, there was no apology, and she made it difficult to reschedule. When I returned to the Glenview schedule after taking the day off work AGAIN, Dr. Yoo and his nurse were very friendly and approachable. The procedure went well and I felt comfortable. Dr. Yoo did the interior stitches, but had a resident do the outer stitches. While the Dr. is very personable, I am surprised to see others state that he explained things well. Dr. Yoo did not explain what he was doing or offer any information if I did not ask (or know to ask) first. When the procedure was finished, I was given discharge papers by the nurse, I was taught how to properly care for my wound, and told I would need to take an antibiotic. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and there was no order placed. I called Dr. Yoo's call center, where they said they would page him, and still, after several hours, my prescription was not called in. I called several times again, and was told this time he would be paged "urgently", and my prescription was still not called in, and then the pharmacy closed. This is unacceptable. The staff at the call center were very courteous, but they asked for lots of details regarding my medication that should not be my responsibility as a patient: what dosage of the antibiotic I need, what frequency - how should I know? I'm not the doctor. I can't even imagine if this had been an emergency - the doctor is nowhere to be found! It took almost 24 hours before I was able to procure my prescription, and by then, my wound was a bit inflamed. This likely could have been avoided if the Dr. made it possible to adhere to his own plan. Eventually the next day, a nurse did call and apologize, and my prescription order was sent to my pharmacy. In Sum/TL;DR: Dr. Yoo and his nurses are nice enough, but his secretary is rude and things are poorly organized. I would consider going in again to have something small removed, because believe it or not, he was easier to schedule with than other dermatologists (e.g. shorter waiting times for appointments, accepts most insurance, convenient location). However, be advised: Dr. Yoo is pretty much impossible to reach if there are complications or if something happens after-hours, and if you are having a serious procedure, the risks aren't worth it.

I have read varying reviews of dermatologists in the Chicago area. Not surprisingly they vary…read morewidely, akin to those of cosmetic surgeons. Expectations play a large role in these. I had two lip lesions that were benign but slowly growing and I wanted them removed. My dermatologist at Chicago Lakeshore Medical, Dr. Smith, recommended a certain type of laser for the lips, found at the NMH dermatology department. I called for an appointment and received a consultation within two days - very unusual and positive. When I was seen by Dr. Yoo and a medical resident, timely by the way, they suggested that if I could just wait for 15-20 minutes they could perform the procedure. Of course, I accepted, popped down to Corner Bakery for a sandwich and returned. The doctor and his staff were compassionate, efficient and professional. The laser did not hurt whatsoever even though they warned me; of course I had topical anesthetic. Their promise of rrsults is evident three weekds later. The elsions have all but disappeared. It helped me that I had prior minor surgery to remove one under my upper lip because Ihave herpes simplex andamy disruption or wound causes fever blisters and swelling. But the effect of the laser was minimal and I am very pleased. Such therapy is expensive but worth it in my case. Dr. Yoo made a return visit for 4-6 weeks but it won't be necessary. The office is very efficient and comfortable in the Arkes Family Pavilion on St. Clair.
