Our baby son was actually the first patient when the practice opened more than 21 years ago, and…read morewe've relied on Dr. Brooks ever since. Over the years, Dr. Brooks and the entire practice have cared for all four of our children, as well as my wife and me. Having this practice in our hometown has been an incredible asset for our family and for the entire community. The care feels personal and attentive--almost like a concierge practice--yet it still has the warmth and accessibility of a true small-town family doctor. On more than one occasion, our family has received care that we truly believe was life-saving, and we are incredibly grateful. We've also heard many similar stories from others in the community whose families have been helped in the same way. Dr. Brooks and the entire team clearly see their work as more than just a profession. They treat patients with genuine compassion, dedication, and a sense of purpose. Our family feels very fortunate to have them in our lives and in our community.

I saw Dr. Brooks for almost the entirety of my life up until I was in my early 20s. In 2016, I went…read moreto him with a sinus infection. I am allergic to several medications, and have numerous adverse reactions. Yet, he decided to prescribe me a new drug, Levaquin. Even though, he knew that the only medication I did not have a reaction to was a Zpack. Levaquin is now known for horrific adverse reactions, and is involved in several class actions. I had a horrific, terrifying reaction to Levaquin. I was transported to the ER. I stopped seeing Brooks regularly and began seeing other doctors. Years later (2021) I went to obtain my records to show a new primary my adverse reaction to this medication. To my surprise, there was no documentation of the adverse reaction, or that I was prescribed this medication at all. I went to see Brooks after the ER visit, that was not in there either. I specifically requested these documents for this adverse reaction. There was another incident in 2018, too. In my desperation for help, I reached out to Brooks (after not seeing him for a very long time). I was getting ready to take the bar (I am a lawyer) and I started having horrific panic attacks. I couldn't step outside my apartment without having a panic attack. I went to Brooks in tears asking if he could help me, and I even asked for a prescription for Xanax to help with the panic attacks. Instead he said he would prescribe me Prozac. He prescribed me either 60mg or 90mg of Prozac (I can't remember which one). When I went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription, the pharmacist asked me how long I was on the medication. I told her this was my first time filling - she told me that my doctor shouldn't have prescribed me this, that he should have started me off at 5mg. She said she'd still fill it. I was desperate and I stupidly trusted the prescription. At that point in time, it was a miracle I was even able to get to a pharmacy without a panic attack. I took the medicine and went off of it within three weeks. It was excruciating. While I think everyone's medical treatment is private, I hope this helps someone and I'm sorry I didn't post sooner. After spending time with my family during the holidays and realizing several were still seeing this doctor/going here, but never heard what I went through, I thought it best to share so people could make informed decisions.

All in all I was pleased as I had recently moved to Oak Park and sought out a new GP that was more convenient. As part of the annual physical, I had blood drawn for lab testing and was told to call back in 4-5 business days. OK so its an old school practice with no secure electronic records access so figured ok, I can do that. It has been 3 weeks now. I have been calling every day sometimes getting the German receptionist, sometimes leaving a VM, and have gotten zero response...no call backs...and when I speak to the receptionist, she doesn't take a message, but rather suggests I call back when it is more convenient for Herr Doctor. Its been frustrating beyond belief. I am going to have to go back to my prior practice and redo everything because I know they can communicate and trust their expertise. Bottom line: If you are under 80 and require any sort of convenience in discussing the results of your appointment/tests in any channel other than back in person, I wouldn't bother going to Dr Meineke. While he seems knowledgeable (I don't know because I didn't have any follow-up to consider), he also seems to be just going through the motions and not making the patient experience anything different stepping on gum. Summary: Office environment is old and dated Has poor follow up on results/next steps and doesn't pass through messages
