Dr. Shahid and all the staff at MDDS are fantastic!

Dr. Shahid is wonderful -- made me feel completely at ease and in good hands, from the initial visit to the procedure at the outpatient center in Oakbrook Terrace. And the staff members on hand for the procedure were wonderful also. Even though my procedure was diagnostic, Dr. Shahid's thorough explanation of the results equipped me with the tools to manage my condition, and I'm doing so much better now. I highly recommend Dr. Shahid and MDDS in Oakbrook Terrace!

We are different from other Gastroenterology (GI) practices because we understand that each of our patients is different. Each of their needs and treatments is different. So we pride ourselves, above all else, on knowing that each and every one of our patients is personally satisfied with the level of care they receive. We pride ourselves on an open dialogue between patient and physician. That's why we survey our patients regularly to get their input on everything from scheduling to patient care issues. We know the work we do is often sensitive and can cause patients concern. That's why we want you, the patient, to tell us how we're doing...and how you're feeling. It's a philosophy the physicians, nurses and entire team have adopted. We have 4 board-certified gastroenterologists in our practice to serve you...

Dr. Jain is very talented and knowledgeable with great bed manners. The only reason I gave it a 2…read morestars is the because of the lack of follow up, poor response time, having to call numerous times to get some answers or get a prescription, the staff keep losing the information provided to them during the last visit or do not update your chart with your most recent medications even after going through it during the last visit. You leave a message on both "my chart" and voicemail with the staff and 7 days later still no response or follow up. It shouldn't be that hard to answer a simple request for a prescription or response to a simply inquiry. If it wasn't for Dr. Jain being a great doctor, I would have gone to another provider. It's really frustrating to have such a great doctor with such a poor staff surrounding him.

I went to Midwest Endoscopy for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy on the same day. I've had issues with…read moremy stomach for quite sometime, and as it worsened I started feeling consistently tired and weak. Also, my tongue began breaking out in Canker sores that has been a sign to my physicians that I'm likely fighting some type of infection, illness, inflammation. They are very aggressive in your prep, having you taking laxatives a week before the procedure, and being in clear liquids for a full day before the procedure. My procedure was at 1:30 on a Wednesday afternoon and I was to have no solids after Monday night. My prep kit didn't start until 8pm, so basically went to the bathroom all throughout the night, then finished the prep next morning (day of procedure). Also, the doctors office called my prep kit into two different pharmacies and gave me written instructions stating "do not follow the instructions on the prescription container, follow these instructions provided by the physician". I had to have a physician paged because the instructions made no sense. It's because they gave me a different prep kit than what they provided instructions for, so the physician walked me through the instructions on the bottle (like a child). I shared I understood the instructions if that's what I need to follow, but just needed to know the dosage. He interrupted and said, "I'll get to that", then proceeded to tell me how to fill with water to the line that reads "full to here". Meet with the nurse, meet with Anesthesiologist, we're minutes away from go time, and the doctor comes in to tell me the clinical director will not allow the procedures because of a Canker sore on my tongue. I've literally had sores at all times for a minimum of six months, been seen by multiple doctors, and getting the gut checked out was the next step in figuring it all out. I reached out to friends and colleagues in the medical field and anesthesiology, and this is a quite uncommon policy and decision. The doctor tried to explain and express his understanding, but the fact is, he doesn't understand. Time off of work for me and my spouse. Shuffled schedules, the prep, exhaustion, etc., and absolutely nothing in return. No answers, no feeling better, no next steps. Nothing but wasted time and money, to go through it again with another clinic without an absurd policy to cover their rear ends by being dramatically o early cautious. My anger was and is beyond words. Very kind staff, very disconnected administration. One other note, this is Edward Elmhurst so they are pulling everything from my chart. Three different appointments, most recently a week ago, where the Canker sores on my tongue are a primary area of concern. This could have easily been avoided. I wish I could give negative stars. A clinic that says, 'you show signs of being unwell so we won't provide medical treatment".
