When my mom moved here in 2016 at age 84 she went to see Dr Saelinger Shafer. Dr SS proceeded to…read moreperform some comprehensive testing and observation of my moms many ailments. She couldn't cure everything but did help ease the resulting side effects. It was her tenacity in figuring out what the issues were for many of moms medical issues that ultimately led to mom having a much better quality of life for the last 4 years. Dr SS's compassion and personal commitment to helping her older patients age with dignity and comfort was fantastic and much appreciated.

After Dr. Salam-Khan left the country, I was medically bereft (that's a diagnosis I made up), and…read morewent to a couple physicians before settling on Dr. Foster. I'm crazy about her (not medically speaking). To date, she's been my primary physician for a little over two years. I love that she spends plenty of time. I don't so much like that I usually have to wait longer than my appointment time, but I factor that in when I have an appointment that's later in the day. If my appointment is first thing in the morning, there's no issue. For urgent appointments, I've sometimes gotten in with her, other times I've been given a visit with another physician from the same office, or Linda, her nurse practitioner (all are terrific). I love how she listens. She's excellent at giving advice, including on mental health issues. She doesn't try to be a therapist, but she's good about making sure my panic condition is under control, even when I'm there for regular old physical wear and tear issues. She calls me if I've seen one of her associates and there's some question about my health to be clarified, and she's great about getting test results either mailed or communicated to me via phone. I really love that she's a one-stop shop. She did a nice, thorough history/physical the first time I came in, and she does the annual well-woman exams. In summary, great care of my body and brain, and a downright sweetheart. Her staff members are also quite nice. Her practice partners are excellent.

1 Star is too High!…read more My regular physician wasn't available in this practice so I was offered to see Dr. Wendy Foster which I accepted. I can honestly say I have NEVER in all my years been treated that way in my entire life. She was down right confrontational and rude. If I hadn't had such positive experiences with the other physicians in her practice I'd find a new doctor ASAP. Yes, I will let my primary physician know next time I see her. Dr. Foster is definitely not helping their practice.

What I will definitely not tolerate is rudeness and eye-rolling when I ask a question. As a parent, I am an advocate for my baby's health. Expect questions. WARNING: Dr.'s are a dime-a-dozen. Save yourself the aggravation of dealing with rude, unprofessional people. I won't even get started on my experience w/ Carol who works the front desk. She actually asked me "what's your problem?!" And I was just asking her questions. When you're trying to wrap your head around an illness that your baby has, why would your professional response be like that? There are so many good Dr's out there. Find a group that actually treats you with professional kindness. Dr. Liszek et.al. is NOT THAT OFFICE!

I've been a Patient of Dr. R. Katz for almost a year now, and have referred my sister to his office…read moreas well. Our conditions have greatly improved with the service provided by this Association. I saw several medical professionals at several different associations before I found a U.S. Reports article naming Dr. Katz as one of the top 1% of Rheumatologist in the field. I will gladly recommend him to anyone seeking hard answers to difficult diagnoses. Dr. Katz Rush location can be busy, I have found Northwestern less so. You can expect to wait up to an hour, and while this may seem frustrating, you can rest assured that the Dr. will spend as much time as necessary with you to ensure you receive the dedicated attention each patient deserves; keep this in mind as others are treated and seen before you. The nursing staff and other Doctors within Rheomo & Assoc. are also excellent; shout-out to Josie & Robin for being full of personality and compassionate about your care.

He doesn't see any patient for 5 minutes; his patients can talk to him in the examining room for as long as they want to.

He answered all of my concerns in the most sincere way, and I can't ever say enough good things about him.

I would like to rate this office higher but cannot…read more I have been a patient of Dr. Spratford's for almost 10 years and will not go anywhere only because of how great he is as an individual. This review though is for the practice as a whole. Time and time again over the years, this office seems to have suffered the problem of getting too large, too quickly, without enough resources. When they did their major additions and upgrades it took them months to get things together. The staff was/is over-worked and there was too much traffic at all times. Outside of that transition time hasn't been better. Getting in touch with your doctor is difficult. You have to call, leave a message, and often, even if you ask for the doctor, you get a call back from the nurse. Then you have to go through the whole process of leaving a message and waiting again. The staff and RN's have repeatedly gotten my recurring prescriptions wrong when communicating with the pharmacy, sometimes costing me dearly (I will say that the office has resolved this for me with their in house pharmacy, but I had to almost demand it). Out of all of that, my biggest complaint about the office is the general lack of attention to detail. For example, if my doctor leaves town, I have to TELL the doctor filling in to check my chart. To me this should be standard operating procedure. How can you answer a question of a patient if you haven't reviewed their file? They are too busy, without enough administrative staff, and it shows in the quality of assistance I get when I'm not with my doctor. (I'm surprised there's a hidden review here that says pretty much the same thing. I knew when I came on here that I couldn't possibly be the only person who's noticed this problem creep up over the years)

The group has been renamed to Prairie Medical Group, but are in the same location. I have been…read moreseeing Dr. Erin Vaughan for a few years now and she is awesome. She is young, probably in her 30s, and just very attentative to me. I've seen doctors in the past who were eager to get you in and out, but Dr. Vaughan takes the time to sit down and listen to what you're going through. My most recent visit was in January '08, the reason I didn't really know. I had had a perpetual throat-clearing/cough for at least a year and I was finally getting it checked out. I did some research, and didn't know if it was allergies, asthma, or GIRD. I went in there, she sat down, and said "This is when I get to be a detective and figure out what's going on with you." I thought that was AWESOME! I was in there for an hour an a half, she was running different tests on me, and we figured out that it's possibly allergy-induced asthma, and definitely some allergy issues. I feel a lot better now that we're getting to the bottom of things, and I would recommend her to anyone! Other notes: I rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting area to go into a room, which is great. Nothing worse than going to the doctor's office and having to sit and wait (especially when you have an appointment!).
