Our baby son was actually the first patient when the practice opened more than 21 years ago, and…read morewe've relied on Dr. Brooks ever since. Over the years, Dr. Brooks and the entire practice have cared for all four of our children, as well as my wife and me. Having this practice in our hometown has been an incredible asset for our family and for the entire community. The care feels personal and attentive--almost like a concierge practice--yet it still has the warmth and accessibility of a true small-town family doctor. On more than one occasion, our family has received care that we truly believe was life-saving, and we are incredibly grateful. We've also heard many similar stories from others in the community whose families have been helped in the same way. Dr. Brooks and the entire team clearly see their work as more than just a profession. They treat patients with genuine compassion, dedication, and a sense of purpose. Our family feels very fortunate to have them in our lives and in our community.

I saw Dr. Brooks for almost the entirety of my life up until I was in my early 20s. In 2016, I went…read moreto him with a sinus infection. I am allergic to several medications, and have numerous adverse reactions. Yet, he decided to prescribe me a new drug, Levaquin. Even though, he knew that the only medication I did not have a reaction to was a Zpack. Levaquin is now known for horrific adverse reactions, and is involved in several class actions. I had a horrific, terrifying reaction to Levaquin. I was transported to the ER. I stopped seeing Brooks regularly and began seeing other doctors. Years later (2021) I went to obtain my records to show a new primary my adverse reaction to this medication. To my surprise, there was no documentation of the adverse reaction, or that I was prescribed this medication at all. I went to see Brooks after the ER visit, that was not in there either. I specifically requested these documents for this adverse reaction. There was another incident in 2018, too. In my desperation for help, I reached out to Brooks (after not seeing him for a very long time). I was getting ready to take the bar (I am a lawyer) and I started having horrific panic attacks. I couldn't step outside my apartment without having a panic attack. I went to Brooks in tears asking if he could help me, and I even asked for a prescription for Xanax to help with the panic attacks. Instead he said he would prescribe me Prozac. He prescribed me either 60mg or 90mg of Prozac (I can't remember which one). When I went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription, the pharmacist asked me how long I was on the medication. I told her this was my first time filling - she told me that my doctor shouldn't have prescribed me this, that he should have started me off at 5mg. She said she'd still fill it. I was desperate and I stupidly trusted the prescription. At that point in time, it was a miracle I was even able to get to a pharmacy without a panic attack. I took the medicine and went off of it within three weeks. It was excruciating. While I think everyone's medical treatment is private, I hope this helps someone and I'm sorry I didn't post sooner. After spending time with my family during the holidays and realizing several were still seeing this doctor/going here, but never heard what I went through, I thought it best to share so people could make informed decisions.

All in all I was pleased as I had recently moved to Oak Park and sought out a new GP that was more convenient. As part of the annual physical, I had blood drawn for lab testing and was told to call back in 4-5 business days. OK so its an old school practice with no secure electronic records access so figured ok, I can do that. It has been 3 weeks now. I have been calling every day sometimes getting the German receptionist, sometimes leaving a VM, and have gotten zero response...no call backs...and when I speak to the receptionist, she doesn't take a message, but rather suggests I call back when it is more convenient for Herr Doctor. Its been frustrating beyond belief. I am going to have to go back to my prior practice and redo everything because I know they can communicate and trust their expertise. Bottom line: If you are under 80 and require any sort of convenience in discussing the results of your appointment/tests in any channel other than back in person, I wouldn't bother going to Dr Meineke. While he seems knowledgeable (I don't know because I didn't have any follow-up to consider), he also seems to be just going through the motions and not making the patient experience anything different stepping on gum. Summary: Office environment is old and dated Has poor follow up on results/next steps and doesn't pass through messages

Just went there yesterday for my teenage son who had the FKelly Karas-Hedrick who is a DNP a (nurse…read morepractitioner with a doctorate degree), is the kindest and coolest professional urgent care provider with a bedside manner so positive, it's rarely seen in urgent care! We have seen her once a year or twice a year for three years for my two son's various flu and other injuries. We are so grateful she is there. Please don't leave, Dr Kelly! If every provider were like her, our medical field would be serving all patients SO well. Here's why: She always thinks of everything without me even asking, from meds, to at home things to do, to a school note, without hesitation. She always makes a little bit of small talk with my sons, but it's like she really cares. Bonus: The place is clean, the front desk staff is friendly, calm and efficient. They smile and are efficient and great with insurance and I haven't ever received a crazy bill from them ever. The wait time has never exceeded 15 minutes. We are out within 45 min including payment and lab tests. I am not getting paid by them to say all this stuff LOL haha! I don't know anyone there either....but I just have to call out this example of urgent care DONE RIGHT. Dr Kara's-Hedrick, DNP, please always continue being the best urgent care provider we've seen! To the staff: Stay well and take care of yourselves and know that your job MEANS A LOT to the community. Your kindness and helpful demeanor makes all the difference when we are feeling ill!

On my very first visit to Girgis, Dr. Sam spent more than an hour with me. He ordered a CT scan and a full blood panel (turns out I had a deviated septum and low antibody levels for several strains of pneumococcal bacteria, which no doctor had ever told me, or even tested for). Eventually, when we had the results, he patiently went over everything in detail, and recommended surgery. The surgery itself was very smooth and the recovery was straightforward. Two months later, it has been LIFE-CHANGING. I am breathing better and sleeping better. Before the surgery, I generally needed an antihistamine, a decongestant, and a nasal spray every day. I have not taken any of them--not even once--since the surgery. During the entire process, the whole staff--Dr. Sam, the nurses, the receptionists, and the billing department--were kind, patient, and always available to answer questions. Do not waste time going somewhere else. This is the best ENT you will find in the area.

This is a two-part review to result in a three-star rating…read more Doctor (5 Stars) ================ Dr. Jonathan Meek is a great doctor who takes the time to answer patients' questions or address their concerns. He doesn't come off as one of those money-hungry doctors. He's also the only doctor I've seen to carry around a laptop to keep track of all the patients' information. Billing (1 Star): ================ I've had a few billing issues with Fairview Family Practice before and one today. I usually prepay my copay with a credit card at the time of my visit to avoid messy billing issues. Twice, I've paid a $20 copay but still received a $20 copay invoice about a month after my date of service. When I spoke to the receptionist about those invoices, I would find out that my payment was not applied to my account like it should have and was just sitting in their system! They had to manually apply my payment to my account. Today's billing issue really takes the cake though. I paid a $20 copay on the same day of a prior visit and found out later that my copay should have only been $13 to this facility and $7 to a lab based on my insurance claim statements (I don't get insurance claim statements until weeks after my date of service). I called and spoke to a receptionist named Ashley to get a $7 refund so that I can send the payment to the lab. She was incredibly rude and refused to give me a refund even though I told her: --- My insurance claim statement clearly states "Your Copayment Amount $13.00." --- I spoke to an insurance representative, who checked with someone else internally on my claim, and CONFIRMED that my copay is $13. You know when you're on the phone with someone, and you can feel that he or she is rolling his or her eyes at you? There was a pause in the middle of the conversation, and my eyes were squinting from suspicion. Next thing I knew, she handed the call to some other person without telling me (I think Linda? I forget her name because I was so upset at that point). Linda was the exact same way and repeated the exact same thing as Ashley. In the end when we were getting nowhere, Ashley gave me the phone number to their billing department to deal with the issue. I found out after several phone call attempts that she gave me the WRONG phone number. The one she gave me kept ringing without going to voicemail and eventually hung up on me. When I finally got the correct number, I spoke to Ann from their billing department. She was very nice and stated that she will process and mail my refund. She also agreed that Ashley and Linda should not have handled the matter the way they did and suggested that I just call the billing department directly in the future (of course, now I know). LONG STORY SHORT: - Use a credit card instead of cash or checks to make payments (in case you need to refer back or make disputes). - Call the billing department directly at 630-856-6840 instead of talking to the receptionists. - ALWAYS check your claim statements to make sure you pay the correct amount. Overall, I cannot recommend going to this office until they get their billing together.
