My previous 5-star review was submitted in 2018. As of this date, I have been Dr. Emmons' patient…read morefor the past 14 years. In addition to Dr. Emmons' extensive training and credentials, what distinguishes this gentleman is his genuine concern for the patient's well-being. Furthermore, he is supported by a loyal and long-time team of nurses who respond to inquiries promptly and thoroughly. My health has experienced a marked improvement since becoming a patient, which speaks volumes in itself.

I just got off the phone with someone from my nurse practitioner's (Shelly Cartwright) office. I…read morehave a very nasty cold which is making my asthma flare up and I need a new rescue inhaler. Sounds easy, right? The woman who called told me repeatedly that I had never been seen there. That's not true--I've been going there for about ten years. She finally said I hadn't been seen since the new charting system. How was I supposed to know what she was talking about? She also told me more than once that they weren't seeing sick patients because of the pandemic and I can't get a prescription without being seen. Sounds like a catch 22, right? At the very end she asked if I wanted to be transferred to one of the "girls" (are they employing high schoolers?) to schedule a televisit. So they ARE seeing patients, just not in person. I was so frustrated by the end of the call, I said no. Hey, Northwestern, when you have a minute, train the people on the phone to say, "Since you haven't been here since we changed systems..." and "We're not seeing patients in person, but we can set up a televisit" so that someone who is sick doesn't feel she's out of luck because "she's never been seen and they're not seeing people, so sucks to be you." This is probably a good time to switch doctors. (P.S. I don't know why Yelp is saying I live in San Francisco--I live in Crystal Lake)

Very compassionate, loving, caring and takes time and not rushing when seeing her patients. She is my doctor that I totally trust with my health and well being. Im teally stressed right now that I'm losing her but hope she will still take me when she comes back in practice. Good luck and God bless in your future endeavor. You are one of the best and hope they can clone you, She was recommended to me by a great specialist when I was looking for one 13 years ago and followed her from one hospital to another and it was all worth it!! The Best of the Best!!!

Don't go to this Doctor. Yes, she is nice as she was my Doctor from 2000-2010 while she worked at…read moreMercy Clinic in Woodstock, Illinois, so I can't speak of other lawsuits against this Doctor, but I will briefly share my own experiences. My Medical Negligence lawsuit was dismissed in 2017 because of an error in my bankruptcy paperwork. I was in the ER on a Friday night and had to be squeezed unexpectedly into her Monday morning schedule. Unfortunately for me, I am permanently injured and declared disabled because of HER BAD DAY. I've had multiple surgeries on different areas of my body, in pain every day because of HER BAD DAY. This Doctor had to do the per-surgical clearances and she didn't even look me in the eye and apologize. She did show up at my deposition, though. My livelihood, my career of nearly 30 years is over because of HER BAD DAY. I have endured financial devastation, I lost my home and I am STILL spending $$ on medicinal/physical therapies because of HER BAD DAY. My life span is shortened. In retrospect, I wish I'd gotten a clue when on one of my personal appointments with this Doctor, she spent the majority of time telling me she was not going to refer anymore to the Non-For-Profit company I worked for, also in healthcare. She was ANGRY at one of my Supervisors. I am only speaking of my experiences, however, the other lawsuit(s)- public record. Yes, this Doctor can be nice, she will listen etc., just hope you don't have to be squeezed unexpectedly into her schedule on HER BAD DAY.

This was the worst experience with a physician EVER!!! I made the appointment with this doctor…read morebecause my internist retired, and I'm in need of medical care for serious respiratory issues and severe allergies. The receptionist was very nice, as was the tech, but when that smug little doctor walked in, it all went downhill. He asked what I was being seen for. Before I could finish my first sentence, he was interrupting me and correcting my choice of verbiage. When I said "ok, I'm sorry if I used the wrong term," he became obsessed with it and continued to explain what meant precious little to me. Really! Allergy attack...allergic reaction...I'm in need of a doctor, not a rhetoric lesson, and I said that! His obsession with correcting my English never actually allowed me to explain why I was there. He kept jabbing at my explanation, and speaking to me as if I were a complete idiot. I even asked him to stop interrupting, hear me out, and if he wanted to correct me he could do it after I explained myself. He continued to only focus on my grammar, and never on the actual reason I was there. I started to get a really bad feeling. Finally, after several interrupted attempts to tell him what my symptoms were, and what caused them, I had to trust my gut. I stopped talking, picked up my purse and said I didn't think it was a good idea for him to treat me as a patient, and walked out of the exam room. I went back to the receptionist and asked for to hand my check back-which after telling her what had just happened, she did without hesitation! She even said it's happened before, but "not that much" I told her not to dare to put that through my insurance. Save yourself from time spent with this guy. Just see another physician.
