He has a very comfortable office and is extremely easy to talk to. He's patient, thoughtful and well-versed in psychology methodology and theory. He sympathizes with you when you're down, as well as shares in your joys. My husband and I try to see him weekly and it's well worth the expense! Parking (both paid and free) is typically not a problem near his office building on Clark. He accepts insurance and credit cards, which is definitely a plus! George has really helped me learn a lot of about myself and I've really valued looking inward and realizing my potential, my behavior patterns, and my emotions. I highly recommend his counseling services!

This was our first experience in a therapeutic setting and we didn't know what to expect but George was great! He put us at ease and helped us improve our communication tremendously. We left every session feeling better than we did upon arrival. If you are looking for a therapist but don't know where to start, I would highly recommend visiting George. He was also really great about helping us understand the complex billing structure.

We had a fantastic experience with Suzanne. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, considerate, and…read morefantastic with the baby. She helped our baby over a handful of appointments (~2 months, every couple weeks) to tackle torticolis, which was so successful that we were able to avoid having to do any baby helmet treatment (usually ~$2000 because it's typically not covered by insurance since it's considered cosmetic). Our baby had a flat spot on the side of her head early on, so with the recommendation by her pediatrician we went for a helmet consultation relatively early around 3 months. They said treatment couldn't start until baby had sufficient neck control and the treatment would likely need to be combined with PT. To get ahead and because we really didn't want to do the helmet if possible, we pursued PT as soon as we could. It was impossible to find anyone in our insurance network and everyone we looked into had rates that were about the same. My own PT for postpartum recovery and other locals highly recommended Kids on the Grow, so we went with them! They also came to our place for all of the appointments, which was extremely helpful as sleep deprived first time parents. With baby PT you need to be involved and do "homework" with your baby in between appointments, but they make it really fun and it's wonderful to see the progress!! Initially we did have some issues contacting their office because they didn't get any of our emails or phone calls. My own PT had to help connect us via email. Otherwise, once we got a hold of them the staff who we also communicated with were very good. All paperwork was done digitally, which was super convenient.

For the goodness of patients and the doctor I saw as well, I'd like to share my experience here…read more Please read my "Journal" and make conclusion by yourselves. Day 1 (Feb. 17, 2019): I broke my wrist (distal radius fracture) and was treated and put on a flint at local ER. Day 2: I saw Dr. Alexander Soneru at Chicago Hand & Orthopedic Surgery Center in Oakbrook Terrace and showed him the X-Ray I received from the ER. There he X-rayed my wrist again and told me the reduction was good and no need for him to do anything else, but casted forearm and wrist. Day 9 (a week later): Follow-up visit. Took another X-Ray, being told that all goes well, and come back a week later. Day 16: Follow-up visit: Below is the conversation between Dr. Soneru and me as soon as we sat down: Dr. Three weeks passed and you'll change into a short cast today. Me: Mmmm, not three weeks yet but two. Dr. Awww.... Let's have another X-Ray. So, a technician gave me an X-Ray. A few minutes later, the doctor came in and told me: Dr: It's healing well, we are going to put a short cast. Me: Yes? both places? (there are two places that fractured.). Dr: Wait .... walking out of the room A few minutes later, Dr. came back to the room: Dr: I'm sorry for giving you mixed messages ... you need SURGERY. Then, the X-Ray technician came with the old, cut-up cast, trying to put it back on my broken write. I asked the technician "you're using the same, dirty, smelly, cast on me?" ... The poor guy left room and came back with some clean padding in the old cast then tried to put it back on me. Imagine, a technician, without any training obviously, tried so hard to put an old cast on a broken arm ... ! I felt so bad for him and could not put up with the pain anymore. So I told him "this is good enough for now. I'll try to fix it myself when I get home." which I did. This is Day 16, March 4, my third visit of him .... Three days later I saw a different surgeon at Loyola and received a successful surgery there. But it's almost 3 months passed but I'm still in pain and recovery. No doubt the delayed surgery has taken a heavy toll on my recovery.

I CANNOT in good conscience as a retired healthcare clinical intelligence consultant, recommend Ms…read more Ellen M Lowrey to other individuals requiring occupational therapy. From August 2021 through March 2023, Ms. Lowrey was my therapist for problems in my right shoulder post-surgery. At first, her demeanor was pleasant and professional. However, in November 2022 her behavior towards me became increasingly dismissive then eventually rude and unprofessional. For instance, Ms. Lowrey became unnecessarily sarcastic when I asked why my shoulder was not making sustained improvement. Her response was "You just don't do things right, so it is not MY fault, Ken." I never understood why she had me repeat the same exercises, the identical number of repetitions month after month when there was little improvement in my shoulder. During sessions in November 2022 through early February 2023, Ms. Lowrey made routine jabs at my "memory problems". This despite her 15+ years as an OT. She should have learned physiological problems should not be the stuff of jokes and sarcasm from a health care professional. Ms. Lowrey did not apologize for her words until I expressed my anger to her assistant. She even refused to finish a session in February 2023 "... because I need to eat lunch and that is important to me." Other times I saw Ms. Lowrey become unprofessional with older patients and veterans. In one instance, an older patient became so incensed with Ms. Lowrey that he swore at her and said he would never come back to finish his therapy. Ms. Lowrey laughed at his outburst and told me "So what." In summary, if you need occupational therapy and want it from an empathetic therapist, PLEASE go somewhere else.

She added an incredible amount of meaning, knowledge, expertise and compassion in every step of the process, from the planning of the ceremony through the big day itself and our son's recovery.

Dr. Judith's warmth, confidence and grace put everyone at the ceremony at ease, including us, our two year old daughter, and even our son. Combining the best elements of a talented pediatrician and a deeply knowledgable and committed Jew, Dr. Judith made Aviv's brit milah a beautiful and personally meaningful ritual that helped welcome him into the Jewish community.

I'm not sure there are words to describe how grateful I was (and still am) to Sara for her help in…read morethe first three months of my son's life. She took care of both of us in so many ways. I found myself so excited to hear her walking up my steps at night, and so sad when I heard the door close behind her in the morning. Sara supported me through pumping, she taught me how to read my son's cues and most importantly, she taught him (and me) how to let him go to sleep on his own. Even at that young age, she helped me teach him habits that are still with him now that he's two. She was always on time, very flexible if my schedule changed, and was understanding and respectful of my needs. She took care of me just as much (if not more) than she took care of my son. I still call her to this day when I need some help or encouragement. Sara is also a baby/toddler sleep GENIUS. She knows how to get kids to sleep, how to install healthy sleep habits in a household and what the solution is when a kiddo has a regression. Basically, she's an angel.

Sara worked for us in San Francisco and did an amazing job looking after our son. She adapted to…read moreour complicated life (living in 2 cities) and was always on time. A couple of times she offered to stay a few minutes longer so that she could put him back to bed which was absolutely well above and beyond of what I would expect after an 8 hours nightshift - especially given that many mornings she had a 45min drive back home. Her insights and debriefs of the night before were always extremely useful and educational. Her calm and friendly demeanor and her confidence was exactly what we needed in the first few weeks. After taking our son overseas when he was 6 weeks old she worked her magic getting him adjusted back to CA time while we didn't have to deal with a jet-lagged baby in the middle of the night whilst being jet-lagged ourselves. No doubt Sara was the reason that everyone was amazed that we looked so refreshed with a newborn. While she looked after our son, three of her siblings had babies so we also enjoyed getting to know Sara on a more personal level which was a real joy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a night doula!

From the start, her calm, grounded energy helped me feel supported and confident, even when things didn't go according to plan. When my labor stalled, Holly guided me through exercises that actually got things moving--my water broke soon after, and she also shared positions that helped my baby flip. Her pain management workshop gave me tools I leaned on hard during some intense moments. And when my epidural failed (twice!), Holly didn't miss a beat. She advocated for me when I was in pain and made sure I felt heard and cared for. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. She played a huge role in turning what could've been a traumatic experience into something empowering. If you're considering a doula, do yourself a favor and call Holly. She's the real deal.
