Whatever, I needed to see someone for my cold-like symptoms. Everything was going fine until Dr. C asked me if I was worried or concerned about H1N1. Working at an organization filled with public health advocates and nurses and knowing that I appropriately wash my hands, I replied, "Not really..." before I could continue to list my reasons why I didn't really feel overly worried, Dr. C very defensively asked me, "Well why not???" I replied, "Well, I work at ___..." and could not even finish my explanation before this woman very smugly replied, "Well I don't know how you saying that is supposed to explain to me why you're not concerned about H1N1!" Everything went downhill from there as I was basically fed scare tactics by this doctor who must have thought I was being nonchalant about the dangers of H1N1. Despite not having a fever, I was then basically told, "Well you might have it." In the end, she never treated me for it or provided me with that diagnosis, so go figure. Never again will I see this doctor and if you're looking for a doctor that has even an ounce of bedside manner, I wouldn't recommend you see her either. I get better treatment when I go to Take Care Clinics at Walgreen's.

She gave me a Pap smear while I was having my period, which I knew would skew my results. At the time, I questioned her, she told me my fears were unfounded & not to worry. It was perfectly fine to do a Pap smear while I was having my period period. She then called me saying that based on my Pap smear results, I needed a uterus biopsy. I went to my OB/GYN, who told me she never should have done a Pap smear while I was having my period. Thousand of dollars later after a very painful biopsy of my uterus, I found out that I was fine and it was all unnecessary because of the Pap smear during my period. I went back to Dr Wallner and told her what my OB/GYN said & the results of my uterus biopsy, and she bristled and was very irritated. She does not like to be questioned. I also went in for a physical and didn't even undress. It was a 10 minute procedure and she was very cold and short with me. I did not feel like it was thorough physical compared to others I have had previously,. No breast exam, etc. She also referred me to a terrible cardiologist, who would not listen to me.

Dr. Hungerford was recommended to me by several people. I was so beyond disappointed in her…read more I just moved here and have tried to find a reputable OBGYN. I tried two different clinics, each with their own horror story, I had yet to actually see a doctor. I made my appointment about a month out. I had requested the first appointment of the day, but was advised that those were booked out far in advance. Bummer. The next day the clinic called me to reschedule - and low and behold I could get the first appointment. So, the day before the day, I was called like normal to be reminded of my appointment and could I please arrive early. No problem. I get there at 7:15. They take me back for my weight, blood pressure, etc. They take me to the room and advise me to stay dressed because since I am a new patient the doctor will want to talk to me first. No problem. I it now 7:40 or so. I wait. And, wait. a little after 8:00 the nurse that took my vitals advises me that the doctor "is on her way" and that it should be only a few more minutes. No problem. Now, it is 8:15, no doctor. The nurse comes back again, and "the doctor is on her way, she is very sorry that she is stuck in traffic". I'm thinking, "well, you live in Chicago, you know about Chicago's traffic, you should have planned for this". But, okay, no problem. So I sit. And sit. And sit. Now it's 8:55 and no doctor. No check in since the last check in, and by now I'm livid. I have been sitting there for an hour waiting. All I could think of is why in the hell didn't this doctor say that she was going to be too late and reschedule me instead of making me wait? Or, why doesn't the clinic have another doctor that is there come in and help me? Neither of which happens. So, I leave the room, and walk around trying to find someone to find out where in the hell this doctor is! And, I'm met with the same excuse, "the doctor is on her way". I asked for an appointment the same day - specifically I asked for an appointment an hour after the doctor's last appoointment to see how she likes to wait around for her patients. Livid doesn't begin to describe tmy anger at that time. I went back to the room to calm down a bit and another doctor (finally!) comes in to apologize and offers to conduct the physical. At this point, I cannot because I had already spent the amount of time that I had allotted waiting for the doctor to show up! This doctor never apologized to me. Never called to offer an apology, an explanation. I cannot believe that she was recommended to me! I understand that this was a one-time event for her, but this was my introduction to her, and it left more than a sour taste in my mouth. I would NEVER go back to this doctor again. Unprofessional. Very unprofessional.

She is not only an attentive & empathetic physician but a good person. She cares, she listens, she advises & her passion for helping others is obvious. Would absolutely recommend anyone become a patient of Dr. Krishnan. The only negative thing I have to say is that it can be difficult to get an appointment through Edward/Elmhurst/Endeavor, and their billing is awful. BUT I can't blame the physician for that, and when we first started at Elmhurst hospital it was not the corporate conglomerate it has become, she is the only reason we have stayed with that organization.

I've always had amazing treatment. She answers all of my questions in terminology easy for me to understand. She's an extraordinary intelligent Doctor with human values. She advises only on her expertise and refers out to other great doctors. It is so hard to find a non commercial doctor in this era. Apart from dedication , she also has slight wit which impresses me more resulting in great relief from stress while chatting with her. Although she's a great medical professional she definitely understands that your mental health affects your physical and encourages her patients to be mindful of their mental health.

They were surprised I got billed because things weren't sorted, however, they did say I got billed for two visits on the same day. I thought that was a mistake, called Dr. Roystons office and they were like, if you had ANY complaints, that would fall into a second visit. I said, no, I literally had no complaints. Last year I had a problem with my neck, so maybe she just pulled over last years billing? Nope, she billed me for conditions she's not even managing. In my notes, it literally says managed by other physicians. I went in to speak with Chris Fuqua, he said he couldn't do anything, but because she put those diagnosis in, it's a separate visit. I was like, so I'm not suppose to inform her of my conditions other doctors are managing? Isn't that important for your PCP to know your health HISTORY? He basically was like, I cannot say anything. His silence spoke volumes. Not to mention, I was telling Dr. Royston during my visit that I would prefer vitamin B12 shots over her recommended vitamin B12 pills because I struggle with taking them and she was like... no. I was like, why? She said, the pills work, if it didn't work, then you can do a shot. I spoke to someone and they were like, you can go to minute clinic and it cost less to get a B12 shot then go through insurance anyway. She was dismissive and she's billing for conditions she literally is not treating. Just beware.... You will get charged for your medical HISTORY when speaking with her.

I used to have ongoing sinus infections or chest congestion after colds I couldn't shake, and she always took it seriously and had quick and helpful remedies. In my past experience, most doctors shrugged those symptoms off or were at a loss for solutions. She is also great for preventive care. I recommended her to a coworker. Upon seeing her for just a routine visit, Dr. Royston immediately noticed a troubling skin lesion and correctly diagnosed my coworker with skin cancer. With me, I always feel like she is on the case looking to prevent future issues: getting my oversized thyroid checked out for possible cancer, listening to my complaints about swollen hands and getting me tested for rheumatoid arthritis, checking to make sure I am scheduled for a colonoscopy given my age. She delves into family medical history, and she asks about my exercise routine (or lack of). I just had my annual physical with her and came in with 8 written questions, thinking she would never have the time for all of them. It is Northwestern, and regardless of which department you are seeing, at some point you may feel like it's a bit of a factory pushing people in and out. But she had time for all 8 questions, and I'm glad I asked. Some of her answers were surprising and in a good way. The office is also very efficient. I've never had to wait to get in. I actually got there early last time, and Dr. Royston saw me right away. Even though it is downtown, the practice feels like a family practice. I noticed I've been seeing the same nurse there for over 10 years. The nurses have given me good tips, like after a flu shot, and I've never had a painful blood draw in their labs. I can't recommend this practice highly enough. There may be a time or two when you feel like things are going quickly, but then just let the nurse or Dr. Royston know you have more questions. They will listen.

Setting up an appointment was a breeze - the…read morereceptionist, Angie, is a sweetheart, and she was able to squeeze me in when luckily there was a cancellation. The office is located off of St. Clair in the Northwestern Memorial building (and there is validated parking available); the office is very cute, clean, and modern, and I waited less than 10 minutes after my scheduled time (which is pretty much unheard of; the receptionist also apologized which I thought was ridiculous!). I filled out basic medical history and such on their patient portal beforehand, which I thought was quite convenient and makes things more efficient. I was really excited with all the raving reviews on not only on Yelp, but on other health websites that rated Dr. O'Mara. When the doc walked in, she was extremely nice, very knowledgeable, straightforward, a great listener, gentle, professional, and very informative. She listened to all of my health issues as well as my thoughts and opinions, and basically gave me a plan of action. She took her time with me, asking questions, and the whole time, I was not felt rushed! The best thing is that she was very genuine and I was extremely comfortable, being a new patient with all these high expectations! There is a lab on-site, and the phlebotomist, Lauren P., was so sweet and kind, and drawing blood was not at all uncomfortable (considering I have a very low threshold of pain and am such a pansy!). Dr. O'Mara and everyone on staff seems to be extremely detail-oriented and organized (which I absolutely love). The high ratings on the doc do not do her justice - she really is AWESOME. I have a follow-up next week am actually looking forward to a doctor's appointment - isn't that crazy?! I am looking forward in being Dr. O'Mara's patient for years to come! +ask for Angie, the receptionist :D +Dr. O'Mara = AWESOME +limited parking (park at garage)

Dr. O'Mara's office is a clean, modern one-physician practice. She exhibits all of the professionalism and knowledge I have come to expect and appreciate from Northwestern practitioners and affiliates. I was randomly assigned to her through Northwestern's physician referral practice after I suffered a serious medical event and I was shocked by how great my experiences with her have been. My initial consultation was in her office, where she interviewed me about all of my health concerns, family history, and really took the time to get to know both me as a person and my health issues. Despite a relatively complicated health history, Dr. O'Mara has gone above and beyond. She takes the time to research issues about my medicine and listens to my questions, no matter how silly they may seem to me, in a non judgmental environment. She has followed up on problems or before procedures through phone calls about things I, at times, hadn't even thought about. She is always eager to explain these things to me. She truly cares about her patient's well being and happiness -- even following up on what I thought about places she had sent me for a referral. In short, I have never received this level of care with any doctor before. Her assistant, Angie, is also very nice and helpful. To top it off, it's extremely easy to make appointments here, and Dr. O'Mara keeps an electronic portal where you can ask her questions, view your test results quickly, and access other features from your visits. If you need a new internal medicine doctor, visit Dr. O'Mara.
