I appreciate the direct and frank way Dr. Lesser and I can speak to one another. Sometimes in a very humorous, epitaph-filled way. He and his staff really listen to me, don't rush me, and make it as pleasant and hassle-free as possible. He's older like me so he "gets" a guy. But, I took my fiancee to see him and they hit it off too. Seriously, how many couples do that and afterwards feel like it was fun? While he is my doctor, I feel like he's a friend and trusted confidant. He doesn't judge and doesn't force. That's the kind of doctor for me.

Billed me For an extended visit which there was not no extended visit he was only in there for five minutes with the doctor and they did a weird thing there were two nurses we had to see one was outside the room she did his blood pressure n weight most places they do your weight but they don't normally do your blood pressure while standing up or sitting outside the room it was just plain weird maybe trying to use the time trying to use that as an extended visit I have no idea!! The billing department is trying to justify this extra charge which by the way they're not very nice at the billing department either I asked them to speak to the doctor because he would know for sure it was not an extended visit plus I know that my Apple phone knows for sure that we weren't in there for an extended visit! Nor was it a difficult visit we've been going there a year he's been on the same two medicines ever since for his ADHD Focalin it used to be Vyvanse now we just stick with Focalin because you can't get Vyvanse very often anymore they're always out of it everywhere it's a popular medication for ADHD so they're telling me and I looked this up there was a new code that went into effect last January they're saying it was five years ago but according to what I read it was a year ago for Medicare well he's definitely not on Medicare he's 13 so they're using that code for the difficulty he wasn't sick it was exact same visit to refill his medication which we've been doing for a whole year which nothing new is added everything was exactly the same from a year ago but yet now we have to pay more it's not a lot more but it's the whole trying to scam me that I can't take!!!!! Beware run n find a diff medical clinic !! the other reviews that I've read are not good especially the front office!! I had dealings with the front office upfront I wanted to go in the front door like normal doctors offices but they told me that if you were seeing the PA you had to go in the back door they weren't too bad up front that's why I actually want to switch I didn't wanna deal with the lady in the back, so I go in the back door we see the PA you have to park in the back and you have to go in the back door and then you have to visit someone that's very she's not friendly put it that way the other girl is she's very friendly. But it's just not a nice welcoming situation. The doctors office said I used to take my grandson to over in Michigan it was so much different and so much better I wish we could still use that office there's just something so off about this office I wouldn't recommend it at all I only do it because of his medication and we've established with them a year ago The doctor is nice but I don't know why he didn't listen to my calls when I called the billing department I asked them to tell him that my Apple iPhone says it was not an extended visit. Either they didn't tell him or he's just ignoring it!!

But now when you need to make an appointment they usually suggest that you see a nurse instead as the doctors are too busy to see patients. And if you don't want to wait a few months to have your problem addressed by your regular doctor, they tell you to go to the ER or a Quack in the Box. What has become of this group?

She did not seem to know anything about the meds that I was taking, and the most annoying factor was that, seeing as this was my yearly physical, she did not file a prescription for my meds for the year as all others do. Two of the meds were not prescribed at all. Also, her nurse measured my height as 1 1/2 inches less than it is. I think the level of their abilities, or their lack of enthusiasm, causes them to be incompetent. I have never been treated by a doctor that seemed to care so little about the patient.

I've been going to Woman to Woman in Crystal Lake since I was 15 (7 years) and saw 2 or 3 providers who completely ignored specific concerns I tried to address that were severely affecting my life daily life. It was because of the poor experience I had with previous providers here that I realized I wanted to go into women's healthcare in nursing. By chance (earliest appointment available) I saw Rachel Kinnas, NP, last year, and she inspired me EVEN MORE to go into women's health care. Not only is she clearly incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has amazing bedside manner, ethics, and has made me feel like she genuinely cares. She's the first provider to acknowledge the health concerns I've had the past 7 years, which I started to brush off myself, as valid and like they never should've been ignored. She's incredible at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone!

Spent a week in the hospital in which they told us he has UC and possibly Crohns. Our son lost so much blood he is anemic, and the trauma from the hospital has made him refuse all help from doctors now.

Our son missed 40 days of school, his graduation from kindergarten, a season of hockey and he now lives in constant pain. Begging to go in the bath 10 times a day or walking around constantly with a heating pad on his stomach to help with pain and cramps.. We constantly look for bathrooms when driving places just in case, and praying if we have to go that no one's in the stalls.. It even hurts to look at old pictures because it reminds us of what our son was just a short time ago.. It's now "before he was sick" and "after he was sick." We feel absolutely helpless. It hangs over us like a nightmare and it won't ever end.. Anytime my wife calls me it fills me with anxiety and questions on if something bad happened.. Our whole life now revolves around taking care of our son. Are his dreams to play high level sports gone? Will he be able to ever go to school again..?? We have to home school for now because this is a lifelong disease. Is our 6yr olds colon going to have to be removed..? Will he develop cancer..?
