There used to be a member of staff that came from Elm St Paediatrics who was wonderful but she's left I think as I last saw her working the desk at the hospital next door. After Covid it was impossible to get an appointment. One time I rang Lake Shore the receptionist told me they don't do any sick visits. It took a few calls to realise she meant that sick visits were only being held at Libertyville! Which is fine, but just communicate that somehow other than a mass email which will get sent to junk! But this call left me feeling disappointed at the level of service being offered and so a lot of my kids' needs went to a local urgent care because they could actually get seen. The doctors are overall good although I resent being patronised and I have left a few appts with my kids, expecting for that appt to be the last. One doctor has been outstanding though and that is Dr Nelson. Unfortunately she is moving out of state. That's a true loss to the practice. I understand 2 new doctors arrive in a few weeks.

She is so caring and responsive....and literally a text/call away at all times. She quickly makes you feel cared about and welcome.

A visit to Rappaport Pediatrics is a remarkable experience. My boys and I actually find it…read moreenjoyable--which is a lot to say about a doctor's visit. Dr. Rappaport and her assistant, Beth, have refined the drudgery of taking a kid to the pediatrician's office by cultivating a relaxed, welcoming, and warm office setting. That approach is central to their patient care. Whether it's for a yearly check-up or a sick visit--the high standards are the same. I believe Beth typically says, "when can you come in?" It's unusual in any business, let alone medicine, to find someone who looks to accommodate my schedule. Once we are there, both Beth and Dr. Rappaport take the time to listen to our concerns. They are in no hurry; I never feel rushed or flustered that I haven't had all of my questions answered. The care is exceptional. Dr. Rappaport has a common-sense approach and impeccable medical knowledge. She's never alarming, always measured, and extremely compassionate. It's clear she is not just a doctor, but also a mother, who relates easily to her patients and their parents. In addition, she has built a marvelous rapport with my boys. She has cared for them since they were toddlers--they are now very active 8 year old twins. She's as thorough with their physical exam as she is with their mental well being; dealing with topics such as bullying. She gives them (and us) clear-cut, age appropriate advise on how to deal with it. I don't typically write reviews, but I was compelled to do so in this case. This is a different style of medicine than I have ever experienced. I'm so grateful to be a part of it, and I believe it's worth letting others know that the run to the pediatrician's office doesn't have to be a frantic, impersonal, or harried experience.

My father…read morewas a pediatrician for Over 40 years and he retired when my son was 2, which was so stressful, because how was I going to find anyone that I could trust with my kids medical care the way I trusted my father? But then we found Dr. Franzia and I immediately knew we were in the best hands. Her caring demeanor coupled with her vast knowledge of pediatric medicine and kids in general (she's also a mom of 2) made her the perfect fit. Not only is Dr. Franzia an amazing clinician, but she is also a kind and loving person that puts kids first. She engages with kids during the exam, explains what she is going to do and puts their minds at ease. Her office is so kid friendly that my son (now 4) LOVES going and even asks to go to the doctor regularly. Every exam room has a theme with an animal exam table and tons of toys and books. This is the perfect practice for kids that hate the doctor or have stress or anxiety about it. She also takes the time to speak to the parents and go over any concerns at every visit. She provides her clients with so many resources and information so that they can be educated and play an active role in their children's healthcare and development. Sometimes you may have a little wait for your appointment, but being a solo practitioner, and not turning away sick kids, this office runs pretty smoothly. And honestly, my kids don't mind waiting in the exam rooms because there is so much stuff to explore! And if your kid is sick, you know she will fit you in so they get the care they need. Another thing that is unique about this practice is their integration of nutrition and how it plays into health. This is something that is honestly overlooked by so many doctors, but is the foundation of health, especially with little growing bodies. No complaints, only praises for this clinic (and as a pediatricians daughter who grew up around a pediatrics office, I'm a tough critic). I'd bet that the recent bad review was someone who was either disrespectful or verbally abusive to the staff, because it just doesn't add up. Dr. Franzia is a loving and respectful person and doctor, and likely expects the same from her patients.

We primarily see Dr. Gulson, but we've seen almost every doctor in the practice when we've had sick visits. I love the after hours care at this location and the separate sick and well waiting rooms at all of the locations. The front desk staff members at both Libertyville and Lake Forest are so friendly and easy to work with, and I love being able to leave messages for the nurses with questions. We usually get called back to a room fairly quickly. Sometimes we do wait a little bit for the doctors, but I appreciate them always answering all of my questions. I assume they give everyone that same top-notch treatment, so I understand waiting a bit. I highly recommend this practice!

Many things had transpired and ended in the flooding in July and us being displaced. In the middle of us having to pack our home to move due to the flooding I receive a letter saying (basically) I signed an agreement that I would pay the Dr. bills and I failed to do so. So, because of my tardiness of roughly about 3 months they would no longer keep my son as a patient and I needed to find him another pediatrician. Mind you, I am not trying to argue that not paying your bills is an okay thing to do, I am saying that it is a bit too much to kick a patient to the curb after a bill being unpaid for like 3 months. That's just my opinion.
