But if when that didn't work for my ankle problem, he did a great job with a surgery that fixed it for once and for all. The PT he works with also did a great job. Over the years since, I've gone off and on to get orthotics from him, and those solved foot and also knee problems. Very professional

Unsure of how to time the drive, we ended up getting their pretty early, so parked in their garage, went to the office, and signed in. Although we were close to 1/2 hour early, we were taken back within 10 minutes - something that surprised me. My experience in the past at other doctor's offices is, if they take you to a room early, you wait in the room for a long time. Not so here, we waited about five minutes before the doctor came in. The experience with the Nephrologist was great. It was just an office visit - a follow up appointment. The doctor was very kind, inquisitive, and seemed to know her stuff. (That is a really good quality for a doctor. :) ) When we left, you pay in the elevator lobby for parking. They don't validate so I expected we would pay a pretty penny for the time we were there. Much to our surprise, when we put the ticket in the machine, it said there was no balance due. Wow. While doctor's visits are never a walk in the park, the experience here was actually very good.

It used to be possible to go to the medical lab at Evanston hospital and get whatever medical test…read moreyour doctor ordered, any time. You might have to wait 20 minutes, but they could always fit you in, no appointment necessary. Now, since Endeavor took over, you could wait for hours if you have no appointment, and getting an appointment takes a week or more. When I needed an early morning appointment because of the type of test I was getting, there were no appointments for more than two months. Thanks, Endeavor, for a non-profit, you've certainly become very profit-minded (by cutting staff). Helps pay the CEO his $6+million salary.

Best doctor ever! Dr. Davis has been my primary care physician since high school and I wouldn't…read moredream of having anyone else. He is kind, patient, caring, and takes as much time as is needed. So much so that he often runs behind, yet he's so good that you don't mind waiting! I made my husband see him after we got married and now he's his primary as well. He has a great network and always gives good referrals when we need to see specialists. Not sure what we'll do when he retires, but for now, we're happy with Dr. Davis.

I have had both right and left side hernia repairs by Dr. John Linn. I am very grateful to him…read morefor his skill and care, the staff that works with him, and his thoughtful manner. Both of my procedures, done a year apart, were skillfully treated. In both surgeries I was treated laparoscopically. He came highly recommended by my doctor who diagnosed the condition. He was kind, sincere, and took plenty of time to answer all my questions. Every person on his staff, both in his office and on the hospital teams were also outstanding.

Dr. Linn a wonderful and skilled surgeon. Upon my first visit to him after rejecting another…read moresurgeon at a different hospital, he found that I had a double-hernia, something that the first surgeon didn't even check me for. Dr. Linn is also very caring. He communicates well and continued to invite my further questions and concerns after he thoroughly and clearly explained my procedure. Once the surgery was complete, he had great follow-up, checking in on my well-being even before I had my after-surgery consultation. Even at that last visit, he continued to show care. If I ever needed a surgeon again, I would jump at the chance to have Dr. Linn perform it. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Vlahos loves to evangelize about low carb diets - in his mind any issue you have stems from not…read morebeing on this type of diet no matter how tenuous the connection - e.g. post cataract laser induced floaters are somehow caused by too many carbs. If you want to talk about relevant family issues he'll actually cancel your physical as it is happening and pretty much tell you to bear your cross with Christian fortitude. Repeated attempts to get him to apologize for violating his Hippocratic oath have been ignored by him so short of resorting to legal proceedings this review will have to do in the meantime.

Surprised to see such a negative review as that wasn't my experience with him at all. I do agree that sugar is at the root of a lot of issues. Did not find him overly focused on that when I used to see him though. In fact, I wish he had been since subsequently I discovered that a low or no carb diet was the only way I could lose weight. I stopped going to him when I moved into the city about 15 year ago. Planning to move back north and see him again as I had nothing but positive experiences when I saw him. This is why I remembered him and want to go back when I move even though I do like my city doctor too. Found this other review odd given my experience with him unless he changed drastically over the years.

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.

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.
