Not only that he was able to find the source of my pain when I thought I was a hypochondriac but he put my mind to rest when he discovered what was wrong with me and causing me debilitating pain through my entire body. The staff politely explained the procedure and along the way toward my procedure had everyone explain to me what was going to occur.They spoke to me and allowed me to take my time in mental preparation . They are probably the kindest,gentleness and loveliest people I have probably had the pleasure of being helped by, if not the best at what they do. I strongly recommend them and I am highly nervous of the medical profession. I was given wonderful and delicate care. Thank you Dr. Cha ,his lovely nurse and everyone on his staff for helping me else for helping me.

Doctor Cha performed the Intracept procedure on my back 2 weeks ago. The recovery from the surgery…read morewas about 2 days. 4 days after the procedure I was able to determine my pain level was lower than prior to the procedure. It has now been 2 weeks and my pain level is about 50% of the level prior to the procedure. Dr Cha indicated I should see additional relief over the next 6 months. Given the severity level of back pain I had experienced for the past 30 years I am very pleased with the results so far. The Doctor and his team were very professional, answered all of my questions, and made me comfortable and confident prior to the procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Cha to anyone experiencing pain.

UPDATE: We decided it was in my grandmas best interest to…read morestart In home hospice care. We found these soars on her neck from being neglected for over a month. My grandma suffered a stroke in October, survived many complications and is now at this nursing home. Due to the COVID-19, on March 11th they restricted all visitations for the safety of their patients (understandable). It has now been over a month since she has seen anyone in our family. Thursday afternoon, we received a heartbreaking call informing us that she hadn't been responsive in days, her vitals are low and we should say our final goodbyes.. could be a couple hours or days. As we all rushed over there, they refused to let us in to see her. Today, we gave the receptionist an iPad and asked that she'd set it up in my grandmas room. The iPad is set to automatically pick up FaceTime calls. Can't see her in person, at least we can see her, talk to her and let her know how much we love her through FaceTime. Hours later, in the middle of a FaceTime, one of the nurses comes into my grandmas room hangs up and closes the IPad case. Now we really can't see my grandma and she can't see us. We call, asked that it would be put back up and they refused. Said it was just temporary. We asked, are the residents not allowed to use cell phones? All other hospitals and nursing homes are allowing family members to call their loved ones. In fact, it is encouraged by primary care physicians!! The nurse, said oh they are allowed cell phones. But you cannot record her or our nurses. We explained that it is set like a phone, please this is all we have. She said, this is our policy you can call the director on Monday and then hangs up in our face. It is Easter, my grandma's favorite holiday, she is not promised an hour let alone until Monday. You must have no heart at all to strip away our rights and my grandmas rights at her last final stages of life. This has taken a toll on our entire family. This is an awful place. With some, not all, but some of the most heartless people working there. If you love your family members, do not bring them here.

I recently gave birth here, and the overall experience was exceptional. Nurses were attentive and…read moreable to update each other efficiently to ensure continuity of care. In labor and delivery, the nurse told us that the facility was recently updated. All the medical equipment was new, and the fetal monitor they used was even wireless. The only slight hiccup was that there was nearly no room in postpartum care. Fortunately, we got the last room in the overflow floor. Having giving birth in another state, I was extremely impressed by how updated everything was in the overflow room - the shower was brand new, and the bed could be operated to lengthen or sit at various angles. For pain management, I was a little surprised that their policy is to give ibuprofen only upon request. At the previous hospital I was at, they had a regimen switching between Tylenol and ibuprofen. Parking was probably the most difficult part. The main parking lot is a little far, and you have to use a different entrance if you're coming in the evening (rather than the main entrance of the women's hospital). However, when we left, my partner was able to temporarily park in the rotunda to make the commute a little shorter.

Omg do you like mazes and puzzles? The. This is the hospital for you. Everything from the parking…read morelot to the cafeteria and outpatient testing and hospital wards you'll enjoy. I got so lost just trying to park and find a level to cross over to the hospital entrance. Make sure you go to ground level and make your way over to the entrance. Nurses and doctors are great. Also there's a hallway connecting the main hospital to the cancer center so you don't have to leave the parking lot to go there. Part of the maze that's not as bad. Parking is $4 on the Kellogg side for up to 6hrs the. It jumps to $20! If you're on the Kellogg side, you can get a parking sticker which reduces it back to $4. On the hospital side I don't think you can get a sticker so we'll be paying $20! If you're in the Evanston area then this is a good hospital option. If not, it's not worth driving from far away.

I have tried other pelvic floor therapists in the past and they are not of the same caliber as Kathy.

I had nerve pain and burning down my whole leg, hips that have long been out of alignment, and had never gotten the postpartum support I needed to fully heal after labor.

The nerve pain has COMPLETELY gone away at a point when I was loosing all hope. I have started exercising again and I feel like I have my life back! I have recommended her to anyone who will listen.

Dr. Engle is FANTASTIC. My mom was in absolute agony with a fractured L1 vertebra. Horrible pain,…read moreshe couldn't walk or do daily activities. She's 94, but active, and not a pain complainer. So when she complained of severe pain . . . something had to be done. Northwestern did NOTHING. Four hospital admittances - just take Tylenol. She lives at the Breakers, and I happened to see the "pain management" sign - have to do something, let's try this. IT WORKED. Beautifully! An injection of special surgical cement in the cracked vertebra took away her pain, saved her life, really. She's back rocking, doing PT, riding the recumbent cycle, walking and eating dinner with her friends. I am so glad we came here. She's happy again. Dr. Engle is super knowledgeable, and patient. He's very honest, with clear explanations of the treatment he prescribes. He explained everything to my Mom, made sure she was comfortable and clear on her treatment. Answered all questions, and is just a great, friendly, awesome, upbeat person. Everyone in the office is fantastic. The facility is clean, and masks are worn. Day of her treatment, he was efficient, and the procedure was done in a short amount of time. Again, clear instructions about home care, and healing time. His solution worked great. She has another back issue now, but not as severe. Did not take any convincing to get her to come back here to have that solved. Don't endure back/spine pain, come here!!!

The Keep You In Pain "Institute"!…read more Dana called me after my terrible first appointment for feedback. The doctor took that feedback personally, and was standoff-ish with me during my next appointment where they asked me to come back. Shannon and the staff there are nice but they don't listen to you and certainly don't care about helping you. Avoid this place at all costs. They call themselves an "institute" but there's no thinking outside of the box. There's no learning here or an openness to do so. Nor is there any adaptation to patients' needs. In particular, younger patients. They mostly seem to "treat" elderly people. They're therapy is mostly the therapists watching you do exercises you could probably do at home. The small bit of hands-on stuff they did wasn't helpful. They will rope you in with false promises then suggest expensive out of pocket treatments like PRPs. They also like to call you incessantly if you don't answer right away instead of just leaving a brief message. If I didn't answer the first 3 times why keep calling and not simply leave a message?! In the end, I wasted a lot of time and money bothering with this place and suggest you not do the same. If you have rare or persistent chronic pain issues you're better off avoiding this place. I'd write more but Yelp doesn't allow you to type that much for reviews.
