Literally no doctor could see me right away in my area, the minute clinic was not interested in helping me, and any doctor or clinic accepting "walk in"s for that day and the next 2 were super far and I didn't wanna navigate confusing directions for 45-60 minutes with an arm that looked & feels like bloody ABC gum. I just wanted a doctors opinion, it dressed adequately, and some hugs from my sweet black Yorkie doggie. As a last resort I started searching local doctors & called here. The receptionist I spoke to tried her damnedest to get me in immediately but couldn't so I had to wait for Monday AM. I liked they had a shared covered parking garage with free parking, they are in walking distance of the Metra and bus, and that the waiting room was very spacious and they have free WiFi. The wait was moments after check in. I saw Dr. Breger who was very personable, calm, and respectful. He also seems very knowledgable (I'd expect that since he is a teaching affiliate of University of Chicago School of Medicine). I wouldn't hesitate to visit again for check up hopefully not an illness or bite. Or a less boring one, like a vampire or ware wolf bite. Then again he didn't do a ware wolf test. Howl Howwwwwwl (yelps at the moon)

I have been going to Ravinia Associates for well over 20 years, and the negative review by Lily B…read morecould not be any further from the truth. I have seen numerous doctors and nurse practitioners and have always had the absolutely highest quality care. I have never, not even a single time, had a negative experience with anyone. Each doctor has their own style and there are plenty to choose from to find one that you like best. As I'm getting older and things feel like they are breaking down, they have been excellent at quickly diagnosing and recommending next steps. As a logical person who questions everything, they have always been on the right track. I haven't had any issues with the Billing Department, they send a bill, I pay it so there's no problems there. I did once question why insurance didn't cover a small amount on a procedure and they put that amount on hold to research it for me, which I was happy that they did. There are two levels of indoor parking right in the building and while it is fairly full, very rare do I not find a parking space. Also there is outdoor parking along both sides of the building with plenty of available parking, and also convenient. The office itself is nice, clean, and spacious. It is not overdone or ostentatious by any means. I love that it is hugely spacious because when I'm visiting a doctor I do not want to be sitting close to anyone else who might be sick with who knows what. When you walk in they also provide hand santizer, masks, and Kleenex. I do have one complaint though - LACK OF MAGAZINES!! I do wish that there were far more magazines and a huge variety, even though the wait is generally not more than 15 minutes. It's always a nice opportunity to have some time and a collection of magazines to browse through. I'm told that everyone brings them to the rooms, and there are some magazines in the room, which is nice, but I do wish they had far more. Overall, I highly recommend Ravinia Associates. They are excellent and the best!

It is hard to say I know Dr. Schott anymore. He used to authorize many prescription refills for me…read moreallowing a long interval of time between appointments with him. Unfortunately, at some point Dr. Schott became greedy and realized he gets nothing financially for authorizing prescription refills without having the patient stick their toe in the office. This is greed. Greed has never played well with me. I hope Dr. Schott will set aside his greed so that my positive opinion of him can return.

This review is about the substandard care I received from Dr. Gali Oren-Amit and the subsequent…read moreabusive billing practice I have experienced. During my annual physical, I felt that the care provided fell significantly below the expected standard. While annual physical is supposed to be a comprehensive review of my physical health, she rushed it through in less than 10 minutes, largely checking the boxes and lack of care at all. What is worse is her abusive billing practice afterwards. I was diagnosed with an early-stage chronical disease in the past that did not require treatment. During this visit, she proactively asked about it and I immediately stopped her by saying we don't need to talk about it. Still, she billed me for an additional office visit on top of the annual physical. Just like that, no treatment, no prescription, her asking me a question and my stopping her right away, she charged me an extra office visit! Outrageous! If you are looking for a new doctor or an existing patient going back to see her, watch out closely for her billing!

I don't know about you all, but there are some places you know you never want to have to do a…read morereview for. This is one of those times for me. On Dec 7th, 2025, The Doctor was suffering from what we thought was heartburn. He took the usual actions to relieve the pain, but nothing was working. On Dec 8th, he had some ginger ale through a straw to help make him burp. About 15 min later, he was sweating, had a fever of 103 degrees and was shaking. I rushed him in the car and we head to Evanston Hospital (that will be a different review). We got to the emergency room and The Doctor was admitted right away. Several test and a CT scan revealed that a large gallstone had gotten stuck in his duct and caused all kinds of back-up and infection. The liver enzymes were off the chart and he had pancreatitis. The Doctor was in so much pain that he was given morphine multiple times and placed on massive antibiotics to deal with the infection. It was decided that a stent needed to be put into the duct to open it up and then remove the gallbladder. Problem was, there were no available beds and they felt that the procedures needed to move fast, so they found him a bed at Highland Park. He was transported by ambulance and by the time I got his things and got to the hospital, he was already in his room. The Doctor had the stent put in that Monday and the gallbladder removed that Tuesday. He was in the hospital for five days, so I worked remotely in his room. The room was really nice and I liked the set up they had. There was this seating arrangement that looked like a sofa, but it was split in middle with a table between two seating areas. I was able to work comfortably there the entire five days. The bathroom was very clean and large, with plenty of room for someone on a walker to get in and out. The Doctor did not use it initially because he was hooked up to a lot of tubes for antibiotics and monitoring. The staff came in every day though to clean the room and the bathroom. Sheets were changes when The Doctor was out of the room, but not everyday. This was not a problem since The Doctor was no mobile the entire time he was there. The Docs, Nurses and Staff were all very nice, constantly checking in on The Doctor and even asking me if there was anything I needed. The food was actually ok in terms of the menu The Doctor was allowed to eat from, although he was not all that hungry. There was a liquid and full liquid diet, then he went to a full diet. When he could eat, he got a cod dinner and a burger on the days he could eat. I had several bites and it definitely needed some seasoning, but a little tajin fixed it up for me. The hospital itself was clean and the check-in staff were nice. The cafeteria is an experience as it is in the basement. You will definitely get in a lot of steps getting there and back to your loved one. There is also a small self serve market on the first floor that has quick fixes for snacks, meals and drinks. In the main area is a digital Starbucks machine if you want a quick coffee. And several times I ran into these robots, who were on their way someplace. One got on the elevator with me. I have no idea why, but I did say "Hey what's up?" to it just in case...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I see this hospital has a low Yelp rating and I am not discounting those Yelper's experiences. My review reflects me and The Doctor's experience during a five day stay with them and I feel they went above and beyond for both us. Don't want to go back there, but if there was a need to, I would be ok

Dr Laurie Hochberg was my daughter's overseeing pediatrician. My daughter had been examined by a…read morenurse with only one year of experience and prescribed her Prozac for mild anxiety. When I talked to the supervising physician (who had spoken with the nurse but had not interviewed my daughter), I started off by saying that I wanted to have my daughter's records updated so that she could not be prescribed psychotropic drugs without my knowledge and consent. The doctor said that was my problem to work out out with my ex-wife, and that they couldn't help me and would not amend my daughter's records as I had requested. I explained that the nurse had not been careful in her conversation with my daughter's therapist, and had mistakenly understood that my daughter had received 4x more therapy than she had actually received. I asked the doctor if knowing that this information had been misunderstood would change her level of comfort with the drug being prescribed so quickly and easily. The doctor said it didn't change her opinion at all, and that she was completely comfortable with what had been decided. She went on to tell me how there simply aren't enough pediatric psychiatrists to serve the huge increase in demand, so pediatricians and even nurses have to fill the void. I informed the doctor that I would be removing my daughter from her practice -- she responded by telling me that my daughter would be banned from the hospital she worked at. She then sent a letter to my daughter's home, indicating that she was being banned from her practice and the local hospital due to me being out of control and inappropriate. Sort of like when you breakup with a girlfriend and she responds, "No, I am breaking up with you." It would have been funny if it weren't so tragic. It all still seems so surreal. Needless to say I am changing pediatric practices immediately so buyers beware. The level of unprofessionalism and carelessness with something so critically important was breathtaking.
