This is a very long time coming!!! i should have written this review 4 years ago. He may not even…read morebe practicing any longer. But if he is, and you have spinal issues, he's your man. He performs surgery out of Hinsdale Advocate Hospital which is an excellent hospital with an even more excellent staff. Prior to seeing Dr. Kazan, I was told by 4 different neurosurgeons, 2 at Duke and 2 at Northwestern, that I needed a triple cervical fusion. Obviously I didn't accept that or I would not have gone to 4 surgeons for an opinion. Dr. Kazan was finally recommended to me by a friend who seemed to have a similar issue with the same result that I had. Dr. Kazan looked at my MRI that all the other doctors looked at and said to me "you don't need fusions yet, you just have a bone spur." I guess it's about the money for many other surgeons!!! A week later I had my minimally invasive surgery. I had no pain after surgery in the hospital, no pain when I returned home and absolutely no pain since the surgery, which was 4-1/2 years ago. This doctor is all about doing the right thing, not about how much more money and notoriety he can achieve by performing an expensive, unnecessary procedure. I only wish he would be around the next 10 years for when I need another spinal surgery. I would go to no-one else but him.

I took my mother to see Dr. Jason Shrouder-Henry and his team, and they were very accommodating and…read morenice. He recommended that my mom undergo an MRI before addressing her other concerns. Fortunately, they had an MRI available at another location. However, when I went to see the scheduler to schedule my mom's MRI, that was where we experienced the most disservice. The scheduler assisting us was Sara, and she was the most condescending, insulting, and arrogant person I have ever met. First, she called my mom's name, and I told my mom that I could speak on her behalf to get the appointment scheduled. Sara replied with an annoyed tone, "I need the patient. I have questions for her to answer." I explained that I handle all my mom's scheduling and that she gives me full consent to assist her. Sara responded, "Why do you know all her history?" So, I asked my mom to come up just to get it over with. Then, Sara asked if my mom spoke English, and my mom answered "Yes." Sara responded with an insulting look and said, "Do you speak English... WELL?" My mom pointed to me and said she would tell me if there was something she didn't understand. Then, Sara asked my mom what her primary language was, saying it was needed to arrange for a translator. She continued asking question after question, which both my mom and I answered. Afterward, Sara asked, in a condescending tone, "Are you going with her to the MRI appointment?" I said yes, and she replied, "Okay, because I don't know how good our translators are." Then, Sara said the earliest appointment she had available was on the 28th, which was a Friday. If that didn't work, she had Saturday available. I told her I would prefer Saturday, as I work Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. She responded in a condescending and insulting tone, "No, not Saturday. Erase that. She can only go Monday to Friday because she needs a translator." I explained that my mom understood the language, but Sara insisted, "No, she needs a translator. Forget I said Saturday. She cannot go on that day." I reminded her that I would be accompanying my mom, especially since she had asked if I was going, as she wasn't sure how good the translators were. Despite this, she insisted that my mom could not go on the Saturday appointment. I finally told her to forget it and that we would go with an outside provider who could accommodate us on a Saturday. I don't understand why my mom couldn't go on the Saturday appointment when I can translate for her. It wasn't my mom's first time having an MRI--she had previously had MRIs of her brain and neck. I don't understand why she was making such a big deal out of it. I thought Sara would help us make it work, but instead, we felt mistreated and insulted by her actions and words.

I've had sinus problems most of my life. I've been to three different ENTs over the last twenty…read moreyears, and they all did the same thing: stuck an endoscope up my nose, looked around for 30 seconds, then shrugged and told me to keep using Flonase. On my very first visit to Girgis, Dr. Sam spent more than an hour with me. He ordered a CT scan and a full blood panel (turns out I had a deviated septum and low antibody levels for several strains of pneumococcal bacteria, which no doctor had ever told me, or even tested for). Eventually, when we had the results, he patiently went over everything in detail, and recommended surgery. The surgery itself was very smooth and the recovery was straightforward. Two months later, it has been LIFE-CHANGING. I am breathing better and sleeping better. Before the surgery, I generally needed an antihistamine, a decongestant, and a nasal spray every day. I have not taken any of them--not even once--since the surgery. During the entire process, the whole staff--Dr. Sam, the nurses, the receptionists, and the billing department--were kind, patient, and always available to answer questions. Do not waste time going somewhere else. This is the best ENT you will find in the area.

My doctor, Dr. Tauchen, recommended their therapy at the same location. I went here and I remembered the therapist, as she remembered me. My treatment started with dry needling and this procedure really helped with my pain. This was just the start as an hour more of therapy got me more mobile. I have seen progress in the few visits and continued workouts at home. My therapist, Michelle, is one of the best therapists I have ever used. She has given me hope to make my fall fishing tournament in Destin, Florida. I always make jerky for these trips and can drop off some of the jerky for my therapist and doctor.

The disappointing issue was after 3 years of returned visits to Dr. Miller, the only advise he had for me was "let's put a different bandage on it (literally and figuratively) and watch it" and purchase a wider shoe." Seriously? My toe is sending shooting pain across my foot and up my ankle. Apparently speaking louder to me will make me believe the pain in the toe is not the issue. Very unproductive visit, so after 3 years of co-pays I am seeking a 2nd opinion elsewhere.

I came in for a moving injury on my shoulder a while back. He did an x-ray at his location and said that it didn't seem like there was a tear, maybe just less cushion between my joints. He decided to schedule MRI as "an abundance of caution". However, He didn't recommend a basic MRI, he recommended an arthrogram which in hind sight, seemed unnecessary. He recommended a local hospital as is preferred partner, and it was awful. The MRI cost me $700 and took about three hours versus a outpatient Quest Diagnostic type location that should've been 100 bucks and an hour. I never received the MRI results from the hospital. I recently received a bill from Dr. Mody's office for another $200 for my initial visit. I have yet to return to even go through the MRI results, partially because I don't have them (thanks Advent La Grange for wasting more time I don't have) and partially because this seems like a bill at all costs type practice. I refuse to go back if it's going to cost me $200 when any other specialist under our health plan is a $50 copay. Note- I gave them my insurance upfront so this shouldn't be a $200 + $600 MRI for a sore arm.
