Had my first dermatology visit at this office this morning. Not the fanciest office aesthetically,…read morebut it was a great experience (as far as doc visits go.) Parking was super easy, I love that the derm clinic is in its own area so I don't feel like I'm getting covered in germs from people in the waiting room who are actively sick, and the front desk staff were efficient. The med assistant (I didn't catch her name) was super nice, and Dr. Utter was very helpful. They also brought me back right on time (maybe a little early), which was extra nice, although my appointment was before 8am so that probably helps with the punctuality.

Hello, I just wanted to say, after waiting 35 minutes for my…read moreappointment, getting frustrated and almost walking out, two ladies made me smile after I left! Maggie M. At Glenbrook mammography was so very kind doing my mammogram. She smiled, apologized for being late, helped me in all ways possible and kept encouraging me I was doing a great job. She was such a sweetheart after a long wait, I hugged her and she made me smile. On my way out, I asked for help at the reception desk as I parked at the wrong entrance and got quite lost going into the hospital. Laurie K. Was so nice! She even took time to walk me out and walk me all the way to the easiest exit to where my car was parked! I also got a hug from her so as I made my long walk back to my car, I smiled all the way! They both told me they could call someone to help me leave but I declined that. I have severe leg neuropathy so walking is difficult and painful. It's so wonderful when a smile, some encouragement and...a hug can turn a bad experience into a good one! Maggie and Laurie went above and beyond and they should be recognized for their wonderful customer service! Thank you and God bless you both! Dawn Diesi

I would give the ER team and hospitalist (Dr. Osa) 5 stars without hesitation. They were attentive,…read morecompassionate, and truly listened. Dr. Osa, in particular, demonstrated exceptional ownership of my son's care, from ensuring we understood the findings, to coordinating next steps, to making sure discharge and follow-up were handled appropriately. Even after our visit, his follow-up has been thorough and deeply appreciated. His level of care made a meaningful difference in a very stressful situation. He was excellent in all the ways you would hope a physician shows up. Competent. Clear. Communicative. Caring. Unfortunately, our overall experience was overshadowed by serious concerns with the neurology care we received. Dr. Mary Young was dismissive of our concerns from the start and attributed my son's symptoms to behavioral causes, despite us clearly explaining that this was not his baseline and was entirely new. In the room, we corrected statements that did not reflect what we were seeing, and those concerns were not meaningfully incorporated into the assessment - despite us repeatedly saying "actually that's not what's happening." The interaction felt rushed and dismissive, and we never heard from her again. One example: the medical record, documented by Dr. Young, stated that my son had returned to baseline. This was not accurate and did not reflect what we were reporting in real time. A suspected diagnosis was also documented that did not align with the reason for evaluation or the symptoms we described and frankly, that she is unqualified to make. (Outside of her speciality and had not been noted by anyone my son has ever seen). We had to advocate multiple times for appropriate imaging. During this process, Dr. Young said "tests are expensive," which was difficult to reconcile given the clinical situation. When imaging was eventually completed, it revealed findings that required follow-up. However, these results were not communicated to us directly by Dr. Young. Instead, notes were placed in the chart for follow-up after discharge. It was Dr. Osa who connected with us, explained the findings, and ensured we understood next steps. He was operating under the assumption that Dr Young had called to explain more deeply. When we said she had not he paused then worked to explain himself and said he would help us find a neurologist to follow up with. Truly caring and (from our seat) working hard to bridge a significant gap left by Dr Young. After appropriate follow-up, it became clear that my son's condition involved serious findings that required attention, issues that could have been missed had we accepted the initial assessment from Dr Young. It was clear to us at the time that she was missing key information and this became clear. In terms of our time at the hospital, the nursing staff appeared significantly overextended. While the nursing assistants were kind and helpful, there were repeated instances where we waited extended periods, often well over two hours after using the call button, before receiving assistance from a nurse. This was consistent throughout our stay. This is particularly concerning in light of the hospital's policy restricting overnight support persons. We were initially not allowed to stay with our son, despite him being confused and vulnerable, and had to advocate strongly to remain. Without a support person present, delays in response time raise serious concerns about patient safety and patient rights. The fact we had to advocate so strongly to be heard added to the stress of the situation. While there are clearly excellent physicians here, Dr. Osa being one of them, our experience highlighted significant gaps in listening, documentation, communication, and patient support that had real implications for care. We live blocks from this hospital but will likely drive to another health care system. Dr Osa is a world class physician. If anyone from Endeavor is listening: he's working in a tough system with low support. He is a difference maker. Honor him. And Dr Young creates risks for your hospital. I would not dismiss this feedback. If you're a patient and are healthy enough to go a little farther, and suspect you have something more serious that might require a specialist, head to one of our excellent teaching hospitals in the Chicagoland area. If your challenges can be addressed by a general physician, Glenbrook is a good option because the ER docs and hospitalist were great.
