My father has limited English comprehension and yet Dr. Winslow always manages to properly communicate with him. He emphasizes proper diet and exercise as any good cardiologist would and is meticulous in his efforts to make sure each of his patients receive the proper attention and care. Unlike some of the other physicians I've encountered, he doesn't dole out all his duties to his staff and assistants. When my father had a valve replacement late last year, Dr. Winslow referred my father to one of the top surgeons at Northwestern and also helped ensure a proper (and fast) recovery each and every step of the way. Needless to say, Dr. Winslow did nothing short of saving my father's life. I feel blessed to still have my father in my life and am extremely grateful for Dr. Winslow's efforts.

This all changed today and I want to warn others, not because I think there's a problem with the medical review, but office operations and policy for the office are in a word concerning. When making an appointment, I received a text from the office asking me to "text a screenshot of my medical card" so they could verify coverage. This was extremely disconcerting in an age of identity theft and personal information security breach. Despite this, I complied with the request and informed the office assistant that I would review my concerns with the doctor because this was highly irregular. The office assistant informed me "I truly don't I can do much with just your insurance card. I would need all your medical information." What I was trying to point out wasn't that she would personally do anything with my information, but that the possibility of a patient's information residing on someone's personal smartphone wasn't probably the best policy. I again emphasized that if that information would be lost, the doctor would be liable. Two minutes later, this was followed up by another text, "I will delete the image now that it's in your chart" and that the alternative for sending a screenshot was to drive to the doctor's office prior to my visit as they were trying to save me from an advanced trip. Funny, when I had changed my insurance in the past this was never an issue. I didn't respond to this text and again, complied with the request without further issue. One hour later, I receive a text "after conferring with the office and completing a full cost-benefit analysis - it was decided that perhaps you should find another practice that suits your needs better than Associated Medicine Physicians. We took the liberty of canceling your visit. Be well." I wanted to post this here because it's important for both customer and doctors to understand how serious securing personal information is in today's world. Most data breaches happen not because the original intent of the information by the initial parties was to do something detrimental. Rather, data breaches happen often because those handling it either aren't completely clear about the limits and extent to which the technology their using (assumed deletion) can be used against them by bad actors, or, most common, unintentional transfer of information usually done unknowingly. Regardless It's important to call this out because no one wants to turn on the news or read online they were unintentionally a victim of a data breach. Dr. Levy is a good doctor. However, I'd think twice before sending my personal data via text to an office assistant if I were still a patient with the practice.

I have a wonderful. thorough physician, they were very efficient with mammography and bone density screening, and I have an outstanding off-site physical therapist. I'm disappointed with the patient follow-up protocols in the neurosurgery department. My hard-to-get appointment had been booked for months. It was abruptly cancelled this morning. They claimed they tried to reach me. I had no messages either through the portal or my home telephone line. Maybe try a little harder? I also was stunned at how unapologetic the receptionist was. Look, I realize it's a long holiday weekend, but our time matters, too. You came up short here. Do better.

Northshore is much too massive to have any type of organizational methods or effective scheduling of appointments. Northshore is an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Today I was on hold for 20 minutes; and they were still not able to successfully schedule the appointment. Apparently only 1 person is currently able to schedule appointments for this particular department. What? Do yourself a favor. Save yourself an immense amount of frustration and aggravation. Find a different medical practice for all of your doctor appointments. Northshore is the worst.

When I first started asking my friends, acquaintances & my own amazing allergist* who I should take my son to 99% of them named Rachel Story. This is probably why it took months to get an appointment with her, but it was so worth the wait. I didn't schedule nearly enough time to make it to my 9:30am appointment. By the time I found NorthShore & made my way thru the building it was 9:50am. Oops. I was worried they were going to tell us to come back in another few months, but fortunately were very understanding at the front desk. And minutes later we were with a nurse...and not long after that with Dr. Story herself. Dr Story's bedside manner was incredible. She was warm, personable and seems to really love kids, which is probably important if you're a pediatric allergist. Within minutes we were chatting about everything from kids to careers to all other random topics. She's someone I'd want to hang out with and another mom friend said the very same thing about her the next day. And yes, we talked a lot about my son's asthma and eczema too. Based on my call to the office I was ready to put him thru hours of allergy testing & was relieved when Dr. Story mentioned it wouldn't be necessary based on what she was seeing/hearing. Instead she provided me with a very detailed plan (and drugs of course) for how to handle his asthma and eczema in the future. I felt so much better after meeting w/ her and am no longer petrified of his next cold, which is likely to lead to an asthma episode. I also loved that she didn't rush our appointment and was more than happy to answer my billions of questions. Even my 21 month old seemed happy to be spending time at the Dr, which speaks for itself. If you have a kid with asthma or any type of allergy I highly recommend scheduling a visit. And do it soon since she seems to be one popular lady. * http://www.yelp.com/biz/baiju-malde-md-chicago?hrid=zOafWfknpBVuIcAywHVwLg

Yes, there are long waits to get an appointment, and yes, you have to trek to the North Shore (an hour long commute for us) but she is so absolutely worth it. I now have had all 3 of my kids have allergy tests, 2 with life threatening allergies, and one with asthma, and she has been resourceful, compassionate, kind and truly caring with each child. She clearly loves helping kids with allergies and asthma, and is knowledgeable about the latest developments in the field. I feel completely confident in having her lead the care for my children, and it's no surprise that she's so incredibly popular among the pediatric allergy set.
