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!).

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.

I'm responding to those who say the doc sees you for 5 minutes after making you wait for 3 hours…read more You will wait to see Dr. Katz, but I was a patient of his for 10 years, so I know why. 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. I never felt that I was rushed or that there was a sense of Dr. Katz needing to leave for any reason. He answered all of my concerns in the most sincere way, and I can't ever say enough good things about him.

I reviewed his other location but since I have been going to see him at the Westchester office, I…read morethought I'd review this one as well. Dr. Chang is really just a great doctor. It's obvious he cares, which is pretty important when dealing with patients who are suffering from chronic pain. He's friendly and takes the time to explain each and every medication he prescribes. While Dr. Chang is amazing, his front desk staff leaves much to be desired. I don't want to go into details with that, but I will say that Dr. Chang is worth the hassle that his front desk staff creates.

Dr. Chang is a consummate professional with a sense of humor, which, in my experience, is an…read moreextremely rare quality in a physician. Dr. Chang first performed the fluoroscopy-guided dye injection into my hip for an arthrogram, and was polite, concerned, and extremely gracious when he learned that I was mistakenly quoted a significantly lower self-pay cost than the normal charge for the second procedure he performed (diagnostic fluoroscopy-guided anesthetic injection into my hip bursa), and even offered to include cortisone in the injection at no additional cost to try and help relieve my hip pain. I was also impressed with his nurse, Irene, who went out of her way to help me find the Lincoln Park clinic where the second procedure was performed, and where they fit me in at the last minute so I could try and have some pain relieve before I went on a long-planned vacation. All and all, I can't recommend Dr. Chang highly enough. I am considering becoming a regular patient to treat my fibromyalgia, since I know he'll do a great job--and I kind of owe him the money! ;-)

From the very first visit, Dr. Chen took the time to really listen--without rushing, without dismissing, and without making me feel like just another patient.

It's obvious he truly cares about his patients as whole people, not just symptoms. His staff is equally exceptional--kind, professional, responsive, and genuinely warm. From scheduling to check-in to follow-up, they create an environment that feels calm, caring, and welcoming. You feel supported every step of the way, which makes an enormous difference.
