Dr. Lori Siegel is my saviour! I have been seeing Lori now for almost 11 years. When we first met I…read morewas a very sick 27 year old woman who didn't "look sick". I won't bore you with the years of details of my diseases, but she took me under her wing and never gave up! She understands that a patient KNOWS their body and she listens to you from that perspective. She has NEVER thought I was crazy, or a drug addict, or a faker. She has always spent as much time with me as I need and listened to every word that I say. I have referred friends to her who were in the same position as I was; ready to give up, frustrated, and tired of being dismissed. I can honestly say that Dr. Siegel is THE BEST, most caring, most competent, most intelligent and funniest rheumatologist in the entire state. If she moved her practice out of state, I would find a way to see her. I never want another rheumatologist to handle my care. Also, her long time medical assistant Shannon is AMAZING! She always listens and does everything possible to help me, even when she is swamped. I couldn't imagine Dr. Siegel having any other assistant. I am so fortunate to have these girls in my life, even if it is to treat RA, systemic Lupus (or RUPUS as doc calls it), Fibromyalgia, and everything else. If you find yourself in need of a rheumatologist GO TO LORI SIEGEL!! You'll never regret it.

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.

Dr. Judith Frank is a wonderful rheumatologist, very understanding and compassionate and will spend…read moretime explaining everything until you understand. The office is clean, the employees are professional and very friendly. Their Innovative chart records keep office visits simple and up to date. Appointments are always on time, which is extremely rare for most Doctor offices I visit. Medications are conveniently sent right to the pharmacy of your choice. I live about and hour away from this office, but it is definitely worth the long drive. I have recommended patients to Dr.Frank and will happily continue to do so.

The doctor was prejudice and was hesitant to treat me from the beginning. Didn't help me at all…read more And did nothing but cause me more stress. Definitely was not treated in the man that I should have been. Especially if you have something for him to be prejudiced about. I suggest finding another doctor and even if you don't.

Update: If you have ALREADY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH FIBROMYALGIA and wish to see Dr. Giangreco - call…read moreahead to see if he can see you. I was told recently that while Dr. G can see a patient "up to the point of diagnosis of fibromyalgia", it isn't his specialty to treat the condition then going forward, as his main focus is auto-immune stuff more easily treatable. The rest of my original review below still stands, but wanted to add this important update.

Dr. Rebecca Wiener is riding on her fathers reputation in the same office. Both are not good…read moredoctors. Had a bad flare up with my hands. Very swollen and told it was arthritis. She called her father in to verify that made it even more horrible. RA will effect across the knuckles and swell bad. Had RA long enough to know a flare up. Not only that she took me off all drugs as my tests showed no inflammation. That alone was a no no for RA. I left the office and went to IBJI a doctor there seen me immediately. Gave me a shot and ordered biological drug. I think they both should close down their practice.

I will NEVER go back to Northwest Rheumatology and here's why…read more I saw Dr. Jadwiga Czajkowska, D.O. at the Elk Grove location. Firstly, her "idea" of keeping me in pain for several months on end, to "see" if the medication is working was INHUMANE!!!! Secondly, on my last visit, I was in a great deal of pain and had been for several weeks, almost at my wits end. I let her know, I was in a great deal of pain. She said, lets increase Methotrexate to (8) pills. She quickly reviewed the blood work, said, everything looked normal. I had questions about a couple results that were marked as "high" & was told, "the computer enters those numbers." I said, isn't that a gauge used to determine the result of the test? She said, again, it's only a computer, your labs are in normal range. She dismissed as if I was asking a stupid question. I asked another question, "Typically when the Methotrexate dosage is bumped up to (8) pills, how quickly do people generally feel some relief?" She said, "I can't tell you that, everyone is different" (here's the kicker comment), "I didn't give you this disease". I was shocked by your statement! I immediately said, "Well, I didn't ask for this disease." I was very annoyed by your comment. My husband also asked a question, she said, some blah blah blah stuff, then said again, "I didn't give you this disease." Once again, I didn't say anything but was clearly annoyed, as this was the 2nd time, she made that DISGUSTING comment to us. My husband asked yet another question & received the same information about "I didn't give you this disease" for a 3rd time!!! REALLY! At that point, I was done with her as she clearly has NO bedside manner nor compassion for me, as a person or as her patient. I did not deserve her rude comments. I was clearly in pain & in need of some Sympathy, Compassion & Hope for feeling relief from the constant pain I was dealing with, because of this awful disease, that I DIDN'T ask for, nor chose. The moment she disrespected me as a person, is the moment, I lost respect for her as a doctor, especially as my doctor. The only reason I didn't say anything that day, was because I needed the prescriptions & time to look for a new Doctor. Thankfully, I have found a doctor, who listens to my questions, gives me informed answers, has mapped out a game plan moving forward, and more importantly, my Doctor's top concern is managing my pain throughout the process.

Well I had an awesome experience with all the personnel here at the clinic. I was even called to…read morelet me know the doctor was doing surgery the same day as our appointment if we can come in 2 hours later. Worked out perfect because it gave me extra time to get there. The receptionist, nurses and the entire team are super sweet. I loved the fact that the nurse Brenda is so calm and assuring. She was not rushing very peaceful and thorough. The doctor was very nice very professional and to the point. The doctor showed us the elbow x-ray no rheumatoid was present and without dismay he assured my husband that with just simple exercise with time the pain was going to be fine. The discharge nurse was so helpful too. She showed us the elbow bracelet and showed us how to use it very professional. The diagnose was not as scary as we thought it wold be it was just simple getting old pain.' Lol. I was very happy with the service a thumbs up for all at this clinic

Another stop to see Dr. Kiesler, the hand, wrist and elbow doctor! Yet another injury in my house…read more We skipped the emergency room and went right here. This facility is new. It's part of the outpatient section of Central DuPage Hospital. It looks very nice, the chairs are nice and cushy, but it is FREEZING in there! Bring a jacket. The paper robe in the offices don't cut it. I was desperate! We saw Dr. Kiesler for the last broken wrist as well as this one and really like how thorough he is in his explanations. We had a choice between a splint and a cast and my son openly admitted that he had to have a cast because he would take the splint off a lot. Rather than lecture on the subject, the doctor accepted it and moved on. The staff was very thorough with all the cast preparations including explaining to me that the waterproof option was not always covered by insurance. Its covered by my insurance, well at least for now. Dr. Kiesler put the cast on himself which I really appreciated. The parking can be confusing here. Park in lot 1 and then go in the outpatient building and up to the 5th floor. Don't forget that jacket!

She did not indicate what she thought my diagnosis was nor did she suggest a followup appt with her. I left that day knowing I would not set my feet in her office again.

I left her office with samples and a prescription! Very pleased. Hopefully she can get my fibromyalgia back under control!

Every visit, I have renew commitment and clarity concerning my disease activity. Dr. Capezio is compassionate, open minded, honest, knowledgeable, encouraging and helps me get clear, on what is going on. She always has a plan of action, tailored to my disease activity and flexible to make necessary adjustments, when appropriate. I appreciate the consist laboratory monitoring, which helps my state of mind. I realized early on that my stressful work environment, long hours, inadequate sleep patterns and weekly travels, was not agreeing with my disease activity. Both, Dr. Capezio and her PA, Kathy have helped me reclaim my smile again. I understand my disease and got clear on with I need to do to help control my disease. Just my IV treatments, is not enough. I am also now Vegan, have lost some weight, Yoga, Pilates, routine Stretches, Acupunture, Chiropractic treatments, long walks, bicycling, rubber bands workouts and meditation. And yes, there are still challenges. And, some Good and bad days! I am blessed to have Dr. Capezio, as my Rheumatologist. Her enthusiastic attitude at helping patients is refreshing, to witness. She has exceeded my expectations. Her clinical knowledge, expertise, experience, passion, dedication and achievements as a physician and teacher has help me become a better compliant patient. She listens and problem solves by using sound, well documented approaches, which I really appreciate her knowledge in this speciality. She has remain that same, passionate and engaging physician, whom I started with, after my diagnosis of RA, over 8 years ago.

I am hurting badly so one looks for a doctor when self-management of pain isn't working anymore…read more I called in the Middle of August 2017 for an appointment within a reasonable time, particular with 4 doctors listed for this office. What is a reasonable time? 1 week, 2 weeks? I was told the first possible appointment would be in November 2017! Lucky me, LOL, that it is still in this year! What do I with all that pain which doesn't let me fall asleep or even wakes me up? Or I tell people I come in contact with, I am not moody but I am hurting! I am glad that the Office seems to do well but get a larger office and more doctors to handle all with the aging and longer living population in the area NOW!

I came here to see Dr. Ng in November for a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. The entire staff was…read morereally friendly and had great bedside manners. They were able to ease my nerves as it's my first time ever getting these procedures. The team sent me all the instructions I needed prior to the procedure to help me prepare. The only downside to this experience is that they couldn't find my vein for a while, and there was no other option but to give anesthesia through IV. Some facilities have backup options like laughing gas. They ultimately found it, just in time for my procedure. The entire procedure took about an hour, I woke up pretty quickly, and I was also surprised how quickly they were able to get my results. They had images of the findings for me. The only thing that took a couple of days was biopsy. I'd totally come back to this facility in the future, and I'd recommend Dr. Ng and her team to anyone in the area looking for all things gastroenterology related.
