I took the medication for 3 days and still had zero relief, so I called and left a message with the NM answering service (you can't get through to a doctor at all if you are with Northwestern Medicine, they have an answering service taking all calls) on 12/23. Still hadn't received a call back by 12/26. Called again 2 times on 12/26 and no returned call. Called again on 12/27 and left another message. Finally received a call back from someone from her office and she said he would have to talk to the doctor and get back to me. The woman didn't call me again until 12/28 and left me a message saying the doctor would like me to make an appt. So 5 days of in extreme pain and I would need to make an appt to come in to see her. I don't think so. Save yourself the time and see someone else.

I saw Dr Lami on May 23rd and it was a disappointment. He spend ALL OF 5 minutes and i told that…read morethere was nothing that can be done. He refered me to a Pain Management Doctor. He told me that if I ever get neuropathy, then I can go back to him, problem is, I never said that I had neuropathy. There is nothing on his website that he specializes in neuropathic pain. This is the line directly from his website "Dr. Lami specializes in both surgical and non-surgical spinal care of both pediatric and adult patients". It hard to find someone that has any compassion after the pandemic.

Dr. Persino rocks my socks off! I started seeing him about 5 years ago after I moved to the area…read moreand read tons of online reviews of the options nearby. I decided to go to Dr. Persino after reading his really great Google reviews, and now, years later, I'm so happy with my decision! (I think the one review that really stood out to me was a woman who had said she moved 3 hours away but liked Dr. Persino so much that she continued to see him and had him deliver her two subsequent babies, even though she moved far away!). Here's the gist of why I think he's so great: He's been an OBGYN for many years, and is very knowledgable and confident in his abilities. He's hilarious and easy-going, and he really puts my mind at ease, since I tend to be a bit of a worry wort. His great sense of humor and super friendly demeanor make him very approachable and easy to talk to. He has out-of-this-world bedside manner, and does not rush through appointments. He will answer any and all questions you have, chat about random things, and even throw a couple one-liners in for good measure :) He delivered our son three years ago and did an awesome job. He knew I really wanted a vaginal delivery and after hours of labor and pushing, instead of recommending we do a Caesarian to just get it over with, he stuck by my side, cheered me on, and followed my wishes of letting me deliver my son vaginally (even though it probably took longer and was more inconvenient for him). I'm currently under his care for a twin pregnancy. I know Caesarian is more likely with a multiple pregnancy, and he has assured me multiple times that we will try for a vaginal delivery if possible. Knowing I'm a bit scared of a c-section, he has talked to me about the surgery and the whole process, and has really eased my fears. I know that my babies (and I) are getting the very best care under Dr. Persino's watch. I cannot imagine going to anyone else, and I wholeheartedly recommend him! Sidenote: Sometimes office staff can really make or break an office visit experience. I have to say that two people at this office really stand out in particular as consistently being awesome- Sue, his receptionist, and Christa (sp?) are so incredibly friendly and enjoyable to talk to. They've both gone out of their way to help me out on various occasions. I actually look forward to catching up with them when I have an appt. and feel like they really care about the progress of my pregnancy and me! One more thing (as if this isn't long enough!): I like that it's a smaller-ish office and I don't feel like cattle they are just herding through the doors. When I go, everyone recognizes me and calls me by name...not something you usually get with a suburban medical office. Just an added bonus I wanted to mention. Bottom line: If you're looking for an experienced, knowledgable, and super friendly OBGYN- go to Dr. Persino!

Dr. Persino was there in the hospital the day after my daughter was born to check on us (in 2003)…read more I saw him throughout my pregnancy and felt completely safe and at ease, in excellent hands. I would give him a 10/10 with bedside manner. When I had a few emergency type situations (dehydration and lack of fetal movement) he really did put me at ease, let me come in and we did a sonogram to make sure everything was ok. Because he wasn't panicking, I could calm down. Turned out everything was fine. I would highly recommend him as well as Dr. Wittman to any of my close friends. The staff is always courteous and extremely efficient, and the nurses are sweethearts. I have gone to this office since 2003 and only had to switch because I moved 50 miles away.

He has one of the best beside manners of any optometrists I have ever met - and I've met a lot! His staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My husband got his first pair of glasses ever and they were progressives. His fitting was done very well and it only took a day or 2 to get used to them. All things considered- going from nothing to progressive lenses- I know the measurements and adjustments were spot on. I can not say enough good things about this place. Oh, and the lenses were about half of the price I thought they would be. Let's recap- great doctor, excellent staff, fair pricing. Love that this is such a convenient location for me too.
