I left the practice after 1000hours of debate and now I've come back. I've got the MILF of a doc, Kari Tannenbaum. http://www.enh.org/apps/findadoctor/doctor.aspx?docid=3391&lid=1789 After 2 years away from this practice I came back because another doc office was totally non-responsive when their new doc was changing fields and going back to school. I came back to north Shore for a few reasons: `Receptionist, Chris, is so sweet and pays attention when you call. `Bessinger was very helpful to me when Donna Bicknese was on vacation or leave. `Calm hood. Pretty Highland Park shopping district, parking is easy and the people are nice. Now I come across Kari Tannenbaum, she's been there for a few years but i'd only seen her maybe once during my time there. Now I'm back and she's my doc. I love her. My first "band-aid" appointment she wrote me a few scrips and explained to me that she's always on time because her time is not more valuable than mine and I respect that. I even asked her if I was late(the reason for that lecture) she said no - but wanted to be sure I understand that she's always prompt. On the way out during my band-aid appointment, i complimented her on her pink toe polish. She wrote me a Rx for that: by Esse. A birth control company. Pretty pink polish. Good stuff. Kari is blunt and wont beat around the bush. She's internal med so she can do anything - but will refer you out for Gyno.

My husband had to have a physical in order to have a surgery performed on a Thursday. We were notified of this only one week before the surgery was to take place. An appointment was made for the Tuesday just prior. First the office called and canceled our Tuesday appointment switching this to the next day (Wednesday). My husband ended up having a shorter work day than expected because they finished the job early. He had started his day at 5:00am and was back home by 11:00. He was running late getting back to Highland Park to make the 1:45 rescheduled appointment. When I called the office to make them aware they put me on the phone with the doctor herself. She proceeded to explain to me that while we were accommodating them they could not wait an extra 14 minutes for my husband to arrive. At 1:59 the doors to the building were locked and our physical incomplete. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS PRACTICE AND MOST OF ALL DR. TANNEDBAUM HAS NO CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR PAITIENTS! I will personally be seeking to report any pertinent info to the proper authorities within the NorthShore Health System to ensure there are repercussions.

During my annual physical, I felt that the care provided fell significantly below the expected standard. While annual physical is supposed to be a comprehensive review of my physical health, she rushed it through in less than 10 minutes, largely checking the boxes and lack of care at all. What is worse is her abusive billing practice afterwards. I was diagnosed with an early-stage chronical disease in the past that did not require treatment. During this visit, she proactively asked about it and I immediately stopped her by saying we don't need to talk about it. Still, she billed me for an additional office visit on top of the annual physical. Just like that, no treatment, no prescription, her asking me a question and my stopping her right away, she charged me an extra office visit! Outrageous! If you are looking for a new doctor or an existing patient going back to see her, watch out closely for her billing!

I suffered from chronic sinus infections that were just crazy. I went to Dr. Miller expecting the usual script and and a co-pay but what a pleasant surprise I got. He was so thorough and detail oriented that he asked questions that seemed out of sync with the routine I had experienced elsewhere. He asked about my lifestyle, my pillows, my diet, well you get it....and he LISTENED. I actually now understand why doctor's corporations are called SC for "service corporations". He was providing his Medical Services. He wasn't doing me a favor by seeing me. I was giving him an opportunity to practice medicine. Lightbulb, aaahhhhh moment. Did I mention he went to Harvard Medical School. Matters not unless they teach you human compassion there. Not only did he cure that malady, he cured me of pretty much everything and during the course of a general conversation, he discovered a something that several other doctors had dismissed or negelected. Under his care and direction, I have been treated as a person, not a number and put on a path to wellness. He had given me guidance and referals that have changed my life. When I had a rough patch health wise, he was my go to guy and Dr. Miller got me through a series of unrelated, untimely and unfortunate health issues. We've since kind of broken up because he made me all better, so much so that I don't really need to see him much anymore. Not that I mind. But you know what I mean. I have refered countless people to him and each and every one raves. He moved from the city to Northbrook which is a hike, but his demeanor, candor and knowledge are worth every second on the Edens. He is kind, gentle, caring and concerned. Dr. Miller is the first physician I have encountered that practices the art of healing. How refreshing.On their website it says under his philosphy "Dr. Miller believes in a strong patient-doctor relationship and working with patients to optimize their health care" Understatement of the year. And lets not forget the support staff, Janie, his nurse. Can you say loveable and sweet. And efficient and kind. And accommodating and warm. Yep, worth every second on the Edens and then some!

He seems to be great with follow-up too--I took a chance and sent him an email through Northwestern's online dr/patient communication network, not really expecting a same-day response, but apparently these physicians really do use the online communication system (hooray! internet and no phone-holding!), he wrote back in a few hours. AND he gave me an electronic prescription I sent to the pharmacy without ever picking up the phone. Anyway, technology aside, an excellent PCP.

Literally no doctor could see me right away in my area, the minute clinic was not interested in helping me, and any doctor or clinic accepting "walk in"s for that day and the next 2 were super far and I didn't wanna navigate confusing directions for 45-60 minutes with an arm that looked & feels like bloody ABC gum. I just wanted a doctors opinion, it dressed adequately, and some hugs from my sweet black Yorkie doggie. As a last resort I started searching local doctors & called here. The receptionist I spoke to tried her damnedest to get me in immediately but couldn't so I had to wait for Monday AM. I liked they had a shared covered parking garage with free parking, they are in walking distance of the Metra and bus, and that the waiting room was very spacious and they have free WiFi. The wait was moments after check in. I saw Dr. Breger who was very personable, calm, and respectful. He also seems very knowledgable (I'd expect that since he is a teaching affiliate of University of Chicago School of Medicine). I wouldn't hesitate to visit again for check up hopefully not an illness or bite. Or a less boring one, like a vampire or ware wolf bite. Then again he didn't do a ware wolf test. Howl Howwwwwwl (yelps at the moon)

I have been going to Ravinia Associates for well over 20 years, and the negative review by Lily B…read morecould not be any further from the truth. I have seen numerous doctors and nurse practitioners and have always had the absolutely highest quality care. I have never, not even a single time, had a negative experience with anyone. Each doctor has their own style and there are plenty to choose from to find one that you like best. As I'm getting older and things feel like they are breaking down, they have been excellent at quickly diagnosing and recommending next steps. As a logical person who questions everything, they have always been on the right track. I haven't had any issues with the Billing Department, they send a bill, I pay it so there's no problems there. I did once question why insurance didn't cover a small amount on a procedure and they put that amount on hold to research it for me, which I was happy that they did. There are two levels of indoor parking right in the building and while it is fairly full, very rare do I not find a parking space. Also there is outdoor parking along both sides of the building with plenty of available parking, and also convenient. The office itself is nice, clean, and spacious. It is not overdone or ostentatious by any means. I love that it is hugely spacious because when I'm visiting a doctor I do not want to be sitting close to anyone else who might be sick with who knows what. When you walk in they also provide hand santizer, masks, and Kleenex. I do have one complaint though - LACK OF MAGAZINES!! I do wish that there were far more magazines and a huge variety, even though the wait is generally not more than 15 minutes. It's always a nice opportunity to have some time and a collection of magazines to browse through. I'm told that everyone brings them to the rooms, and there are some magazines in the room, which is nice, but I do wish they had far more. Overall, I highly recommend Ravinia Associates. They are excellent and the best!

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Kirley (and her office associates.) Its been a long time since I was so impressed by a physician. I'd kind of given up on medicine being anything but a brief exchange of fees for services.To give you an idea of how diligent she is when I told her I was going to transfer the care of my adult son (who has multiple disabilities) to her she asked to have his chart so she could take it home to read thoroughly. Dr. Kirley returns phone calls and emails promptly and has even helped with insurance issues, convincing specialists to see me despite their distaste with my insurance plan. I strongly suggest that if you are looking for a primary care doc check out Dr. K. or any of her associates at this location. BTW: they are family practice specialists not internists if that matters to you.
