I went and saw Dr. Schultz today for the first time since she made the switch to Northwestern…read more Here are a few reasons I think Dr. Schultz is fabulous: * I ran into a friend and mutual patient of Dr. Schultz. She had called first thing because of a painful ear ache and Dr. Schultz squeezed her in. Many of the doctors I've seen in the past would just tell you they were booked and send you off to immediate care. * There was some confusion as to whether her old office sent over my records as requested. I've always assumed that doctors cram before seeing a patient, reminding themselves what their health issues are and personal tidbits. Not Dr. Schultz, she's the real deal, she was fuzzy on a few minor things, but remembered the important stuff! * Northwestern has this system called Relay Health, she explained that I can get info electronically, communicate with the office, and schedule appointments through it. She also went through the security features of the site and told me what steps I could skip to make getting set up quicker. All of that combined with how nice and friendly she is makes Dr. Schultz one fabulous doc. And like others have said the people she's referred me to have always been top notch!

It's a solid 4 because Dr Schultz is always nice and personable and answers all of my questions…read more The one minus star is due to (1) super super slow check in at front desk, and (2) they have the most retarded queuing/waiting system. When I went there last week, they checked me and another girl in at the same time, let us into the office at the same time, and our waiting rooms were next to each other. Apparently we both had an 8am appointment with Dr. Schultz, and for some reason she decided to see the other girl first. So it was me, by myself, waiting in the room next door, for about 25min. And I could clearly hear the girl talking with the doctor next door. I mean we all know people can't appear in two places at the same time, so why would you make two appointments at the same time available to patients? It's an inefficient use of my time and it's an inefficient use of the resources at the office.

I've been going to Michigan Ave Primary Care for almost a year now, and every visit has been a…read moregreat experience. While the co-pays can feel a bit high (though I'll admit I'm not the most well-versed in health insurance), it's absolutely worth it to have a team that genuinely cares for your well-being. From the front desk staff to the nurses, everyone is professional, kind, and efficient. I've been seeing Dr. Lester Montesa, and I can't recommend him enough. He's thorough, professional, and truly cares about his patients' health. The only gripe I had was the bloodwork I got done was a little rough and I was pretty badly bruised on my arm where the needle went in. If you're looking for a reliable primary care provider in the area, this is the place to go and Dr.Montesa is the one to see!

I think I found the best internist, EVER. Setting up an appointment was a breeze - the…read morereceptionist, Angie, is a sweetheart, and she was able to squeeze me in when luckily there was a cancellation. The office is located off of St. Clair in the Northwestern Memorial building (and there is validated parking available); the office is very cute, clean, and modern, and I waited less than 10 minutes after my scheduled time (which is pretty much unheard of; the receptionist also apologized which I thought was ridiculous!). I filled out basic medical history and such on their patient portal beforehand, which I thought was quite convenient and makes things more efficient. I was really excited with all the raving reviews on not only on Yelp, but on other health websites that rated Dr. O'Mara. When the doc walked in, she was extremely nice, very knowledgeable, straightforward, a great listener, gentle, professional, and very informative. She listened to all of my health issues as well as my thoughts and opinions, and basically gave me a plan of action. She took her time with me, asking questions, and the whole time, I was not felt rushed! The best thing is that she was very genuine and I was extremely comfortable, being a new patient with all these high expectations! There is a lab on-site, and the phlebotomist, Lauren P., was so sweet and kind, and drawing blood was not at all uncomfortable (considering I have a very low threshold of pain and am such a pansy!). Dr. O'Mara and everyone on staff seems to be extremely detail-oriented and organized (which I absolutely love). The high ratings on the doc do not do her justice - she really is AWESOME. I have a follow-up next week am actually looking forward to a doctor's appointment - isn't that crazy?! I am looking forward in being Dr. O'Mara's patient for years to come! +ask for Angie, the receptionist :D +Dr. O'Mara = AWESOME +limited parking (park at garage)

I wish I could give Dr. O'Mara higher praise than 5 stars. I have recommended friends and…read morecoworkers alike, and now I recommend her to you. Dr. O'Mara's office is a clean, modern one-physician practice. She exhibits all of the professionalism and knowledge I have come to expect and appreciate from Northwestern practitioners and affiliates. I was randomly assigned to her through Northwestern's physician referral practice after I suffered a serious medical event and I was shocked by how great my experiences with her have been. My initial consultation was in her office, where she interviewed me about all of my health concerns, family history, and really took the time to get to know both me as a person and my health issues. Despite a relatively complicated health history, Dr. O'Mara has gone above and beyond. She takes the time to research issues about my medicine and listens to my questions, no matter how silly they may seem to me, in a non judgmental environment. She has followed up on problems or before procedures through phone calls about things I, at times, hadn't even thought about. She is always eager to explain these things to me. She truly cares about her patient's well being and happiness -- even following up on what I thought about places she had sent me for a referral. In short, I have never received this level of care with any doctor before. Her assistant, Angie, is also very nice and helpful. To top it off, it's extremely easy to make appointments here, and Dr. O'Mara keeps an electronic portal where you can ask her questions, view your test results quickly, and access other features from your visits. If you need a new internal medicine doctor, visit Dr. O'Mara.

We had both come in for asthma issues, but Dr. Betman immediately recognized that my coworker wasn't experiencing asthma complications at all -- she was actually having a heart attack. My coworker didn't believe it, but Dr. Betman guided her to the ER, where they confirmed it was a heart attack. My coworker told me this story, and we both agree: Dr. Betman is the kind of life-changing doctor you want in your corner for life. A few other things I appreciate: she takes many insurance plans, is a women's health expert, teaches at Northwestern University, and refers out to excellent specialists (who also work with a wide range of insurance). Unlike most doctors, she takes the time to answer every question and treats every concern seriously. Over the years she genuinely gets to know you and cares about you -- almost like the small-town doctor you'd see in a movie. The busy office staff is perfunctory... they're not going to win awards for being "nice," as other reviewers have mentioned. But if you need treatment for serious medical issues, they are extremely competent -- which, in the end, is what matters most.

After my doctor of 15 years moved out of state I was nervous about using a new doctor. After much…read moreresearch I decided on Dr. Ulstrup. I was not disappointed. She is not only thorough but she is compassionate. My first appointment with her was a follow up after an emergency room visit. First of all, she introduced herself as Karin, not Dr. Ulstrup. She asked great questions and actually listened to the answers. After hearing what a difficult year I was having she stopped what she was doing and said, "I'm really sorry you have been going through all of this." It was very genuine. She is also good with following up. I was supposed to go the dermatologist and had gotten busy and forgot. Her office called to remind me to make the appointment. My husband has now made an appointment with her as well. I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Ulstrup (I still prefer calling Dr.'s "Dr.").
