If you call the corporate office number, if you can even find it, they can't help you because they are a different office. Midwest Center means nothing other than a common name, like going to a Shell gas station, one has nothing to do with another.

What a frickin joke. Please, please, don't waste your time there. See previous review by me if you want the full story. Sep 9, 2022Previous review After being a patient in this practice, long before it became MCWHC, like two decades long, my previous doctors retired, one after the other. Since the changes in doctors in this office, that for me began this year, it was a nightmare to get an appointment, no one seemed to know who was where and when. Had a procedure scheduled for March and received a call 3 days prior regarding the meds and was told that the procedure needed to be pre-paid, even though I have very good insurance. Was 'allowed' to make arrangements since I hadn't been notified and providing that I pay a portion up front. Subsequent billing to my insurance company was submitted with my name reading two different ways and insurance company processed the claims as two different people with two different deductibles. While in direct contact with the billing department, it took me 4 months to get it straight with the insurance company. All along, I continued to make monthly payments since I didn't originally know where the fault lay. Once I discovered it was the bill submissions that caused the errors and delay in payment, the claims were corrected by the insurance company. The very same day that I receive the corrected statement from insurance, I received a voice mail that I was being sent to collection. I returned the call and told them to do whatever they felt was necessary. Not one time did I receive an apology for the months of agony dealing with the insurance company that had to go through every single claim from every single provider this year to resolve the issue. The billing department of MCWHC further claimed that I had not made a payment since March when, in fact, I had paid over $800 while all of this was happening. After receiving nonsense responses from billing, telling me where to look on their website but in no way providing confirmation of my payments, I finally began sending emails directly to Dr. Clear to no avail. My emails have gone completely ignored. Last communication I had with her was that she was going to reach out to my oncology gyne for a consult and get back to me, that's right, oncology. Never heard another word. Maybe I am dying, I guess I won't know from Dr. Clear. The last email I sent to Dr. Clear, I made it clear that no response is a response. After reading all of the complaints here on Yelp, I could not agree more with the rudeness of the billing office and the office staff. They could care less about your health, they are all in for the money. I told Dr. Clear that it is unfortunate that she and others came into a practice that was built long and hard by others that they are destroying day by day. Very sad. Please go somewhere else as I am.

I was a new patient of Dr. Jodi Sklansky. She seems to care very much about her patients and is…read morevery nice but I question a few things... I went to her based on a recommendation of a close friend. I was experiencing my first pregnancy. My first prenatal exam was very quick. No bloodwork was drawn. I only had an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy. Not long after my first visit (maybe about a week and a half later), I experienced spotting and was very worried. I called the office to let them know that I need to be seen because of the spotting. I was clearly upset. They seemed u phased by it and treated me as if I was overreacting. They would not see me right away as I had hoped. Instead I was told to go to the ER if I filled a pad an hour. Three days later I was in the ER (HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE- see my review for Lutheran General Hospital ER). 2 days after that I had to have an emergency D&C because my condition became serious. When the heavy bleeding started (of course on a Saturday) I called the service and had the doctor on call call me back. She acted like I was an inconvenience. I understand that sometimes nothing can be done but my suggestion would be this - when a patient is terrified and wants to be seen, see them. Be a little more compassionate when there's a delicate situation going on. People are more than numbers on a chart.

I absolutely love Dr. Jodi Sklansky. She delivered my daughter in April 2013. I was 41 weeks…read morepregnant and in labor and I was told by Dr. Sklansky and her team of nurses that there was a possibility of a c-section. I was extremely terrified. Every contraction I was having my daughter's heart rate was significantly dropping. I told Dr. Sklansky that I was terrified of a c-section and asked if there was anything we could do to prevent that. Dr. Sklansky and her amazing team of nurses helped me to maneuver my position every hour and really paid attention to the needs of my daughter and me. 26 hours later I had a healthy baby girl 9 pounds 9 ounces and vaginally delivered. This was my first experience as my daughter was my first. I am so grateful to Dr. Sklansky and the amazing team of nurses at Lutheran General. The practice has several doctors and you never know which doctor you will get when it is "go time." Through all my doctor visits I liked all the doctors, but Dr. Sklansky was my favorite. She is so easy to talk to and has always made me feel super comfortable. I was so lucky that she was "on call" that day. I am expecting my little guy in June and hoping that I will luck out and get Dr. Sklansky again.

I took some time to process my experience and after reading similar reviews feel the need to post…read moremy own. Recently at my annual appointment I was waiting to use the restroom which faces the support staff cubicles. The wait was rather long as there is only one restroom. I had the "privilege" of overhearing how they feel about their clients. "Oh, I hate the perimenopause ones- IM FAT AND HAVE SYMPTOMS BUT I DONT WANT TO GO ON MEDICATION AND GAIN MORE WEIGHT". "THE NEWBIE GYNES ARE SO CUTE WITH THEIR STIs." I was stunned. I went to the restroom, came out, and Dr. Plawyer's nurse was waiting for me. I told her of the incident and she said "I'm sorry to hear that" and then went over my med list and medical history while I'm on the verge of tears. I finally stood up and said "I'm leaving." I did receive a voicemail apologizing and saying it was addressed. However, as a nurse for the past 10 years I understand on a deeper level that the comfort they felt talking about patients at work indicates a culture of not respecting their patients. When we go to the doc we want to feel heard, be taken seriously, and be met with empathy and assistance. I no longer believe this happens at this clinic. Find a clinic that doesn't mock their patients.

I expected the doctor to call me back at the end of the day or perhaps the next day, as doctors usually do with an abnormal test. Instead, the receptionist snapped "WHAT questions??" and then stated that I would need to make another appointment and pay again in order to get to speak with the doctor at all. I was stunned to have someone in healthcare snap at me unprovoked. The verbal cruelty was disturbing and left me feeling vulnerable on top of worrying about my health and prognosis. When I finally heard from the doctor (via email) she was presumptuous, wrote condescending notes about how non-dirty and non-loose I am, and told me that patients only "hear" what they want to hear, which is why she doesn't talk to patients over the phone. (!) At this point I hadn't even yet told her what my actual concerns were. I had questions based on my medical history of autoimmune disease, as well as questions about how this might affect my partner and what precautions I should take. I also didn't fully understand how the infection gets transmitted as I tested negative in the past with the same partner. I was bizarrely mistreated and condescended to. I've never had this level of disrespect happen at a doctor's office before. The doctor finally did call and immediately started talking about social stigma (again, not a concern to me at all... Should it have been??), made more assumptions, didn't listen, interrupted, and answered questions I didn't ask. The doctor billed the 15 min conversation as a virtual office visit. She waived the copay since I sounded upset, which was nice... The conversation should have lasted about 3 minutes if she simply answered my questions. Of all specialists, why would a gynecologist coddle their patients and treat them as though they are immature and irrational?

I saw Dr. Purdy a few years ago when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy. I am sure she knew what she was doing from a medication management and treatment point of view because everything went well, apart from the pain and inconvenience related to the condition that is. But her bedside manner left a lot to be desired. I found her too abrupt and not empathetic at all. She phrased things very harshly, and at times I felt that she was trying to scare me into complying with the treatment. I feel that my experience with the diabetes could have been so much better with a physician who understood the emotional underpinnings that often accompany any medical illness. That was a difficult time for me, and Dr. Purdy did not help the situation at all.
