Dr. Alrashid, I don't know where to begin…read more... You were so kind to accept a patient you've never met on a Monday morning and squeeze me in to your packed schedule for an upper GI. When you didn't find the cause of my bleeding, you kept me the entire day at your center to continue evaluating me until you found the diagnosis. You then made the proper references to other specialists and saved me. You were so gracious to follow up not just that night but the next day. You are truly a man of great honor, skill, talent and integrity. I will never forget what you did for me! I don't even know how to begin to thank you!

I've been going to Dr Alrashid for 8 years and he and the team have always provide first class…read moreprofessional caring services from the initial visits through the procedure and after care. Provide great communication and open to questions all done with friendly service mined approach. The Dr and team are now practicing from their new state of the art facility in Libertyville. Same great caring team just in a location. I highly recommend Dr Alrashid!

Dr. Bawani is a kind, knowledgeable, and sincere physician who greets you with a smile, and…read moreexplains things to his patients in a manner that helps them to better understand their symptoms and/or condition. His office is clean and organized. He employs very friendly and professional administrative staff which helps with the check-in and check-out process. The environment is peaceful, and private, and I left their office feeling well informed and less worried after my wellness check-up. I highly recommend Dr. Bawani, and was referred to him by family and community members alike for his superior knowledge and professionalism. If only all doctor's visits were this effortless. Not only was I seen promptly, but scheduling a follow-up appointment was painless. This is a fine example of a private practice that works, and well!

I went to Dr Adjei for an endoscopy. I was told the procedure takes 1/2 hour. I arrived on time…read more After 30 minutes, I asked why it was taking so long and I was given the usual song and dance by the receptionist -"we are running a little behind today" - (after the office had been open 1 hour and 45 minutes?). The receptionist (who claimed to be the center's manager) told me that I would be next. 15 minutes later, after several other people were called, I was taken to a room and given an IV. I waited for 3/4 hour until i finally walked out into the hall, wheeling the IV, and asked what was going on. Finally they took me into the room, they put me out after 5 minutes. 15 minutes later i woke up, 10 minutes later I left 2 hours for a 1/2 hour procedure. IDr Adjei should remember we are people, not credit card carriers. I also blame the staff for lying ("you are next"), their lack of concern and their unethical assembly line practice. I do not appreciate being on their money making conveyor. Go somewhere else.

I had my first opportunity to meet Dr. Blitstein, yesterday at NWM hospital. I had a routine…read morecolonoscopy. He explained everything thoroughly before the exam and what he would do if something didn't look right. I fell into the sedation with a smile on my face as he has such a funny and wonderful personality. After I awoke, he gave me a thorough and clear explanation of his findings. I felt so comfortable and confident with him. Love this doctor!

I wanted to write a review for Dr. Tosiou because I know how daunting it can be to search for a…read moregood Gastroenterologist when a scary crisis hits. Dr. Tosiou was my first gastro guy, as I like to call him, and was stellar in all regards. I then had a subsequent colonoscopy (third, actually) with a different gastro at a larger, more renowned facility. Well, suffice it to say that it was not a good experience, also in all regards. I told Dr. T that I would never cheat on him again and he then explained why the experience was not a good one and that each body type has to be taken into consideration when doing any procedures. Wow. Who knew? Obviously the other facility did not. The good news is he was so kind and utterly unperturbed that I had wandered into other pastures, so I am back in the fold of his practice. Seriously, I would say, if you need a gastro guy, he is as good as they get. If there is any downside to the practice it's that he may be difficult to speak to directly if you have questions regarding your health status. Most times it is relayed through nurses and that can be problematic. But he is worth dealing with that I believe. He also is part of Associates In Gastroenterology in Grayslake, IL. Good luck!

I have had another gastroenterologist who I only saw once in 20 yrs! He did not even attempt to…read moreestablish a rapport with me, so when I needed further follow up, I went searching and found Dr Tosiou. He is the best! He listens closely and pays attention to your concerns; he provides answers to those concerns in a detailed but not overwhelming way. He thoroughly explained the procedures with possible side effects; his office staff was excellent in preparing you for the next steps. The hospital staff were also terrific and guided me through the next steps and had me out of there in an amazingly short period of time. All in all a great doc and staff! They deserve five stars.

I had my first colonoscopy this year and Dr. Martini was the one who performed the procedure. I was…read moreknocked out for the thing but it wasn't what I had feared. I only felt something at the very beginning of the procedure (not sure why it's not the practice for docs to begin once you're fully out instead of when you're *almost* under) and it was over in fewer than 30 minutes. He stopped by just after I'd been rolled back to the recovery stall to let me know how it went. I appreciated his skill and care, but didn't like that he didn't wait ten seconds until the anesthesia had taken effect to start.
