I think every review I've read starts with "Renee is amazing", and that's truly because she is. I…read morestarted working with Renee in 2015 and I immediately knew she was a perfect fit for what I needed. Renee, as a registered dietician and nutritionist, is so knowledgable about the human body and it's correlation to dietary needs as well as the psychological correlation to food, dieting, well-being, etc - which, aside from the actual dietetic aspect of the plan, are such crucial pieces when trying to figure out the best plan 'for you'. She not only has the expertise mentioned above, but most importantly (IMO) is compassionate, nonjudgemental, caring, and really wants to see you succeed. Renee is your coach, cheerleader and teammate, making her a truly unique person to work with. I can't recommend her enough and am lucky to have her 'on my team'.

She is almost like a therapist too, because she asks great questions about WHY and HOW I want to feel better.

My mobility was limited to less than 20% of what it was before (e.g., brushing hair, lifting my kids, reaching up in any direction). My symptoms mimicked a torn rotator cuff but without the pain. It was bizarre; even my PC doctor at Northwestern assumed it was a partially torn rotator cuff. It was my second appointment when Lauren asked me to perform a few additional tests because she felt something didn't add up. After the third test, she discovered that I had in fact a pinched nerve (C4/C5). Over the course of 6 weeks I continued therapy, followed her at home instructions, and made a full recovery. She is truly amazing. Thank you Dr. Schnidman!

I found Dr. Schnidman a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I've…read morehad chronic pain - herniated discs, sciatica, scoliosis, sports injuries - for the last decade, that got so bad that I had to stop exercising altogether. I've had different therapists offer targeted treatment for acute injuries, most of which allowed me to get back to my sports temporarily, but I've never been given the holistic treatment plan that Lauren prescribed. A few months ago, I was scared that I'd be in pain or discomfort forever; two months in, I'm sleeping more comfortably and I'm getting back into the movement I love. Lauren understands my pain and designs my treatment program specific to my needs and lifestyle instead of a cookie-cutter approach, and I recognize how rare that is in any medical field. All I can say is that I wish I'd started with her sooner.

Each test was unique and was really helpful to have each result sheet explained to me and provide more data that I could use for my training. I do a a good amount of training on my own for endurance races such as marathons and triathlons and enjoy seeing data that helps me to know how I am improving. The metabolism test was extremely helpful to me because it allowed me to know whether I have a fast or slow metabolism. I liked the VO2 testing because I've done that in the past at other places and I have something to compare it to and see the progress I am making. Overall, these tests are done at a great price as well. Most of these tests on their own would be at least $75 and I love that I can do a bundle and get all 4 for $100. Very worth it and full of so much data and explanation.

A couple of years ago I was in a lot of pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. I could hardly move…read moremy head to the left. My neurologist referred me specifically to Imelda and I have been grateful ever since. Shortly after I started PT at PhysioPartners, I began to experience some pain relief. I was given a comprehensive home routine that I followed. I did not ever think I would be relieved of the neck pain and I am glad that I do not have it often. I would not be honest if I said I was completely pain free. I sometimes get flare ups and the vast majority of the time the home exercises help relieve the pain. Imelda is a McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy clinician. I am grateful for her proficiency in this method because it definitely helps my spine conditions. I recently started physical therapy again. The orthopedic specialist I see told me to work with Imelda again for my spine, lower back pain and nerve pain. PT is helping me quite a bit. I was given new exercises to add to my home routine that are helping me improve and strengthen. From the time I walk through the front door to when I leave, I do not feel rushed. My questions are answered. Imelda confirms that I understand my protocol and instructions. The facility is wonderful and has quite a bit of equipment and classes offered if needed. I am very grateful to Imelda and PhysioPartners. I've shared Imelda's and PhysioPartners' information with friends and colleagues.

Imelda was the first provider who used a truly holistic approach to my care. While other PTs had only focused on my head and neck, Imelda quickly understood that my scoliosis was connected to my migraines and her treatment plan was comprehensive. Working with her has drastically improved my quality of life and my pain management. She has continued to monitor and modify her treatment plan for me as new issues arise. I've had a very positive experience with Imelda and highly recommend her for physical therapy. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough. I understand my body and triggers much better after working with her. My migraine frequency and scoliosis pain have improved tremendously.

Both times, as soon as I arrive and check in, two nurses rush me to the back, they are asking questions, one is putting in the IV and the other is checking my blood pressure. My blood pressure was elevated both times. My most recent visit, she also took my bp over my hoodie sleeve and the first thing she says is, "You're going to need to get on meds." What "nurse" isn't aware of how blood pressure work? I just walked blocks, you didn't let me sit, you're talking to me, the cuff isn't on my arm it's on a sweater and you think my readings wouldn't be elevated? Also, how can 1 or 2 readings determine medication? Giving unsolicited medical advice to a stranger whose medical history you know nothing about is condescending. She could've simply said your reading is high, follow up with your doctor. On another note, the clinic is clean, beautiful, comfortable and the receptionist was very friendly. The first time I felt like the IV helped me a lot. This last time I didn't feel any benefits.

Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it.

This was a tough decision on how to update. Given that the entirety of my review focused on…read moreMeredith, I felt compelled to post an update since she has left. First off, I still give LSF PT five stars. Their location is great, I enjoy their awesome gym, and the people that work there are great. If you are busy, already a member at this gym, it's a great choice. And thanks to this place, I met Meredith. Meredith was the star who helped me get through some tough nagging injuries - so I felt compelled to state that she moved on from this location. She really went the extra mile and I mean, look at all the reviews she's garnered for this business, that's saying something. If you aren't necessarily set on being inside the gym and want someone with an awesome reputation, look her up. At the end of the day, either LSF or Meredith are great choices and FAR superior to the greedy corporate chain in the greater Chicago area, so I am happy to keep my five star review of LSF PT.

I have had hypothyroidism for nearly 20 years and I have medicated with Levothyorixine, prescribed…read moreby my general practitioner. Despite being at the correct dose (per *some* bloodwork), I was regularly cold, sometimes anxious, quick to go from not hungry to starving, and sometimes lethargic (despite living a very active lifestyle). After just two appointments with Dr. Simms and additional biometric (blood and saliva) testing, we both came to the conclusion that not only was I working against my thyroid by way of the foods that I was eating, but I was also suffering from iron and vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, I had moderate hormonal imbalances. These weren't far-fetched, non-Western conclusion, but founded in more accurate interpretations and more complete biometrics. The "prescription" was a variety of supplements to address deficiencies and excesses. I appreciate that Dr. Simms did not push me to buy the supplements offered at her clinic, as this would have been a turn-off for me. Through some research, I was able to meet my nutritional and supplements needs in an affordable way. I have not yet had my biometrics re-run, but I know that I am better off. I sleep better, feel better (mood and energy), am no longer cold, and more relaxed. I highly recommend arranging for a consultation with her and bring any existing blood work results to support your discussion. Though she was not covered by my insurance, she was well-worth the cost. And, I was able to pay for my bills with my medical savings account.

If you are in search of a highly qualified and knowledgeable doctor to address your WHOLE health, I strongly recommend Dr. Simms.
