I thought about the…read morefrequent chem trails that criss-cross in all different directions up in the sky on a clear day and wondered what effect the noxious chemicals that we're being sprayed with have on our health. I'd been having symptoms of the infection for 7-10 days when I decided to schedule an appointment at the Sauganash Immediate Care facility on April 10, 2026. I was running late and I wished that I could've simply called the site directly to let them know and change my appointment to a later time, but unfortunately there's just a general number for all the sites that is answered by that obnoxious fake AI voice - it's virtually impossible to talk to a real person. When I arrived at the center there was a nice guy at the desk who greeted me. There was a phone on the desk, so I knew that I could've easily just called and talked with him on that phone to let him know that I needed to reschedule for a later slot that afternoon. The most convenient way to communicate for many patients is via a simple phone call, not an app or a website. He informed me that the medical staff was out to lunch and would be back in 45 minutes. I just decided to sit and wait. Forty-five minutes later I was seen by a nurse practitioner, Joanne Da Silva. She listened to my lungs and determined that they were not severely congested and that I did not have pneumonia. She also ordered a COVID test that was negative. She advised me that if my symptoms worsened, I should come back and they would do a chest x-ray and prescribe an antibiotic. At that point I should've said that if my symptoms had not decreased or became more severe, why don't you give me the prescription for the antibiotic now and I can just have it filled in two weeks if I need it - rather than come back a second time and pay again for a follow-up appointment for the same illness. I didn't do that, however, but will do that in future visits to IC centers. Or there should be an easy way to contact the facility and request that the prescription be sent directly to my pharmacy without having to make a second visit. The issues I had were not with Joanne, but with the powers-that-be in her organization that I'm sure are probably in compliance with federal laws. I had problems with the treatment options (all OTC medications) that were offered to me: either regular Mucinex or Coricidin, a nasal spray ("Ocean" brand or Neil Med Sinus Rinse that I'd never heard of and are not available at local pharmacies were specifically recommended on the After Visit Summary instructions). I went to a local pharmacy and checked out the active as well as the inactive ingredients of the medications. Both of these name-brand medications are expensive and not covered by my AETNA PPO insurance. I also compared the ingredients to their generic counterparts. The active ingredients for the Mucinex knock-off were the same as the name-brand and the inactive ingredients were very similar: cornstarch, several dyes to make the pills look appealing, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin (Dr Eric Berg, a renowned natural food and supplements expert, states in one of his videos that maltodextrin is a totally vile substance that is harmful to one's health and has no benefits whatsoever), microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, polyvinyl alcohol alcohol, povidone, silicon dioxide, sodium starch glyconate, stearic acid, talc, and titanium oxide. If anyone out there can explain to me why these ingredients are necessary and promote healing I would be totally shocked! I purchased this item, but just couldn't make myself take any and will be returning them to the pharmacy this week. In the meantime, a friend of mine who is knowledgeable about natural remedies gave me a bottle of capsules called Z-Stack by Zelenko Labs that has vitamin C , vitamin D3, zinc, and quercetin. I hope (knock on wood) that I will be totally well very soon now. Next time I go to an IC center (which hopefully will be a long time from now -maybe never) that I'll have a much more positive experience than I had this time.

I only started this review as I saw this Yelp site, but really the review is more about the Advocate Medical Group housed here (and they have their own Yelp review site). There's not much more to say about the facility itself except it's convenient with good hours, and has a big convenient parking lot that is often filled! Our PCP, Dr. Ellen Aleksandrovich, is the best and she is very competent, caring, communicative, proactive, and empathetic to the patient's needs. Their systems also work great and responsively without long waits - systems meaning phone calls or messages, their PA staff, their website which is used for both medical info storage as well as messaging, their billing and payments system, their appointment scheduling, their lab appointments system and staff, etc. They also have several specialists based here that we see, and they have the same support system. We routinely get bloodwork and sometimes imaging done here. They are part of the Advocate Medical Group and in turn associated directly with the excellent Advocate Lutheran General Hospital nearby. In our experience, it's a big thumbs up for Nesset Pavillion and the Advocate Medical Group staff here.

I was forced to go because I ran out of a script & they told me I had to see the doctor first before I could get it refilled. I would just as soon take none of these drugs (I mean I'm not even getting high from them ) As it turns out its been over 1 year since my last physical so I figured I might as well have the tests done. I guess the fact that I have insurance they figured out they might as well order everything deluxe and do Lab Tests, EKG, Ultrasound (Am I pregnant ?). Anyway 2 hrs seems a bit excessive. The attending resident doctor did a very good job and was very through, but the front desk staff leaves a lot to be desired. When I arrived the girl asked me if I could hold on for a minute. I waited for about 5 minutes and finally realized there were a couple of other people that could have checked me in. When I left there were only 2 people. As I walked out the first person just walked away and didn't say anything so I checked out with the other person.

Worst experience I've ever had with a medical office. The lab staff and receptionists were…read moreextremely unprofessional -- they rushed me off the phone, didn't listen to my concerns, and repeatedly miscommunicated information to the doctor. When I tried to ask questions about serious side effects from a prescribed medication, I was spoken to rudely and even yelled at. I've personally known someone who died from complications due to medication side effects, so I take this seriously. I called the office seven times trying to get a safer alternative, and each time I was either ignored, misunderstood, or given another medication with severe side effects. Instead of showing concern, they made me feel like a burden for simply wanting treatment that won't put my health at risk -- especially considering my age and medical history. I was brought to tears by how I was treated. I am absolutely done with this office and will never return. It's clear that they prioritize speed over safety, do not take individual risks or age into account, and have no interest in genuinely communicating with or supporting their patients.
