I had a very disappointing experience with this allergist. I waited about 45 minutes to be seen…read more During my visit, I could hear discussion about my case in the waiting room, which raised concerns about privacy. The doctor's communication style made it difficult for me to explain my concerns, as questions felt abrupt and at times dismissive. I also felt my questions were not always well received, which made the visit more stressful and less productive. During the appointment, the door remained open for much of the visit, and I overheard discussion about my case with a resident in the hallway. I also heard comments that made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome as a patient. I asked general questions about allergies (including a question related to my husband and allergy concerns in general), but I felt this was not fully addressed in relation to my own situation. The purpose of my visit and referral did not appear to be fully reviewed or incorporated into the appointment. The testing process was not clearly explained, and I was not given clear information about what was being done or why. I also did not observe gloves being used during the procedure. The control prick test did not appear to function properly, and this was not addressed clearly. During the visit, I felt the evaluation was rushed and that my concerns were not fully explored. My original issue was not resolved, and I was not given clear next steps or alternatives. A prescription that was discussed was never sent in. There was also a discrepancy during the visit where I was initially told certain information could not be found on the computer, but when we both reviewed the record together, I was able to point it out. In addition, I observed a staff interaction near the front desk that appeared unprofessional, including a medical procedure being performed in a public-facing area, which contributed to my concerns about office practices and privacy. When I attempted to raise concerns with the front desk, the situation was not handled in a constructive way. I also overheard a telehealth appointment from the waiting area. Overall, I left without answers or a treatment plan that addressed my concerns. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this provider and I am seeking care elsewhere. I am also addressing my concerns through appropriate medical review channels

I was a new patient seeing Dr. Seema Venkatachalam - Malkani from the Northwest Specialists for…read moreWomen. And unfortunately, I was running 10 minutes late due to an accident on the xpressway. So, when I checked in, the office staff receptionist (Bethany) bluntly asked, "Did you call to let anyone know that you were going to be late for your appointment?" Well, I didn't think that 10 minutes was a big deal. So, "No, I did not". Her rude response was, "Well, I am not sure that the Dr. will be able to see you." So, I thought ... WOW!!! This is not a place that welcomes new patients nor is customer service friendly in ANY way. In this day and age where a patient can go to ANY doctor, it would make sense to treat your patients with a decent "bedside manner" versus an initial condescending attitude -- it would probably be a better approach. Bethany then gets on the phone as if to make a phone call and proceeds to start to talking (without looking at me). So, after she is almost done with her long rant, I then ask "Are you talking to me? I thought that you were talking to someone else because I wasn't sure why you would be on phone (and not even look at me, or get my attention) when you want me to hear what you are saying?" Again... HOW RUDE!! I'm not sure where Bethany learned her "receptionist skills", but she definitely needs some more in-servicing. Bethany then proceeds to continue her line of questioning to ask me if I brought my paperwork with me to which I responded: "I'm sorry. I don't remember getting any paperwork. Did you send me something because No, I didn't bring anything." Her response is that the scheduling people usually tell patients to go on-line to download the paperwork. Lesson #2 for Bethany = It would make sense to email patients a link for paperwork or send them the PDF file of paperwork to make it easy for them to do whatever it is that they are supposed to do. I'm a pretty compliant patient, being an RN myself. So, I would have no problems filling out the paperwork ahead of time rather than rudely belittling me, again.... I too would like to be seen expeditiously, and I respect that doctors are busy as well. So, make it easy for both of us!! Now I am frustrated. I tell her that I don't want to fill out the paperwork unless the doctor is able to see me. She makes a few phone calls and can't get any answers, leaves the desk, and returns to say that the doctor will see me and to have a seat. After 15 minutes, Bethany calls me back to the desk to let me know that the doctor is NOT able to see me now. Really?? Lesson #3 for Bethany = Don't lie to your patients. It doesn't give them a sense of comfort to know that staff just make up stuff without asking the doctor directly. THEN... she proceeds to ask me if I'd like to make another appointment to see the doctor. SERIOUSLY?? The only reason that I was willing to switch OB-GYN doctors is because my friend made the recommendation. (That is the best form of advertisement -- FREE!). With the multitude of doctors available in the Chgoland area, I would definitely go elsewhere and steer clear of this organization, unless you want to be treated in a demeaning manner. I too worked in a few surgeons' and doctor's offices. And not ONCE did I make anyone feel not welcomed. I realize patients are late. And Doctors are late for a multitude of reasons too. It happens. That's part of life. There's no need to be rude!

My last visit I sat for about 2 hours waiting in a room with 2 others. That room of 2 and me, eventually came down to just me waiting for the last 45 minutes of the 2 hours total. I sat in the room waiting for the Dr. another 30 minutes, totaling to 2 hours and 30 minutes just for a physical. I usually have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for the receptionist answer my call just to make an appointment. I'd say if you have kids, they're great at 1st, but eventually you'll need to find another Dr. that respects your time more. Like I said, he's good with kids, but neglectful with adults. Don't know why adults get treated worse than kids, but just find another Dr. He's been mine most of my life and I am unsatisfied.

When my employer switched insurance plan which meant that I had to search for a new doctor and…read moreeverything that goes with switching of insurance. After doing researching on various doctors and the hospitals they are affiliated with, I decided on Dr. Murphy. I was able to make an appointment via phone for a yearly physical. The receptionist was very pleasant. Luckily, I was able to have an appointment the next morning. She had advised me about what I need to prepare for the examination. The office is very convenient since the location is on several bus lines stop and offers parking. The office is very basic. The check-in was very routine. The wait for the doctor was minimal. After being taken into one of the examining rooms, the RN took to vitals. About 15 minutes later, Dr. Murphy entered the room. He was very engaging before he had reviewed my past history. From there, the exam started. About 30 minutes, I was done. Dr. Murphy followed up with me couple of days regarding the results. After the results, he wanted to know if there's any concerns or questions. I had few other questions regarding other shots that were past due.... nothing urgent. I have scheduled another appointment via the Amita Healthcare's website which is very user friendly. So far, I would recommend Dr. Murphy.

My appointment was at 10:30 and waited for no more than 2 minutes in the waiting area. Once in the exam room Dr. Sorce showed up just a couple of minutes later. ; Update: 10/29/2010 I'm removing 4 stars from my initial review. The majority of what I previously had to say was true, Dr. Sorce was eager to prescribe an anti-depressant. I've never taken an anti-depressant before so I didn't know what questions to ask such as: Will I be able to stop taking this drug whenever I want? NOOOOOO. The drug she prescribed is extremely habit forming and you cannot simply stop taking it when you want. I fault Dr. Sorce for not warning me about the risks involved in the medication. After several uncomfortable weeks I'm just about off this drug.

I…read morehave been seeing her for a few years now and like her so much that I recommended her to my boyfriend who also sees her now. She is not one to over prescribe medication but always takes time to listen and gives recommendations that will help your long term health not just cover symptoms.

If you care about your overall health and want to feel comfortable talking to your doctor do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Dr. Sorce.

I've known Jody for over 20 years, through my Corporate Yuppie years, during a very serious…read moreaccident, and still now, in 2012. One thing for sure, Jodine has invested a lifetime to learn healing modalities. She's done this for a higher purpose, not to hang out a shingle to attract more people, but because she wants to be able to help her clients the best way she can. Any type of bodywork is generally made better through a lot of experience and knowledge, and Jody has both. For anyone who prefers to get pain relief in a drug free manner, or suffers from almost intolerable stress, she can help you get the solutions you need through physical manipulation, guidance in dietary issues, and emotional and moral support. I first went to Jody for naprapathy, which is soft tissue work, and it's very effective for helping with pulled muscles, structural imbalances, and neuromuscular issues. Some years ago, I had extremely painful heel issues, the kind where you can't stand on it without feeling so much pain that you think you'll pass out. It wasn't a bone spur. It initiated from a hip problem that also had led to my arches falling. My foot went up 2 half sizes. After a lot of therapy, my arches improved and much to the joy of my favorite shoe retailer, my foot shrank half a size, which is a good thing for me (and apparently a good thing for them). I've gone to Jody for physical injuries, pain issues, alignment problems with my physical structure, as well as other chronic health issues and I've always been impressed with the wealth of abilities she employs in healing therapy. She's a treasure trove of knowledge. I've seen first hand what a compassionate human being she is. Her desire to help people in an affordable way comes from a loving heart. When it comes to alternative healing bodywork, Jody is the real deal.

Three visits and the whole thing was over. She fixed my husband, too, with his slipped disc. And so, when I remembered, off I went , and she fixed me within an hour via a very gentle massage. Went back for a follow up, and learned some exercises and stretches to prevent it happening again. I highly endorse her.
