Should a Doctor act like them, then everyone else could be a Doctor!!! Beside unpleasant experience with Dr Slupik, she just don't care at all about follow up the test i had with them. She told me that they would call me for my result as soon as become available, 2 weeks pass by, no one called, so i had to call them to follow up. No one answer my call, i call again, no one answer so i left an voice mail hoping someone would just call me. now about 4-5 days after i left the voice mail no one is calling me! Such a terrible place to go, all she want is to collect your money then leave you alone! read more

I was incorrectly billed for a test I never received. When I tried calling the doctors office, the receptionist was short, didn't communicate easy instructions on how to amend the issue and never called me back when she said she would. Their office also never answers their phone. I tried calling them 10-15 times and have only made it to someone 2 of those many many attempts. I will not be going back to this doctors office. Not only was there a mistake on my bill (which was not covered by insurance), they were extremely difficult to get in touch with and were unhelpful during the process. After months of calling them and the insurance company the bill was finally removed. What should of taken a phone call ended up being months of failed attempts and headaches. read more

I went to Dr. Slupik once my insurance changed. I was nervous about seeing a new doctor and she only made it worse. She was one of the most cold and rude doctors I've ever been to. She ended up finding abnormal cells on my cervix and when I asked questions she threw a pamphlet at me and that was it. I was literally left scared and in tears in the exam room and she offered no comfort, advice, or further information. To top if off, she then went into a long battle with me over around $100 (when I was unemployed and in college, qualifying for "charity care" with my other doctors). STAY AWAY. Horrible bedside manner, rough, rude, and crude. She doesn't deserve to see patients since she acts like each and every one is an inconvenience. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Slupik for the past four years and I can't say enough about this renowned doctor. Let me tell you our story. The past four years have been easy breezy. Annual paps were A+ and if I ever needed bladder infection medication or had a quick question about my birth control (Mom, it's for my skin, I promise.) she was always helpful and quick to respond. Then after four years of bliss I received the call every woman dreads. "abnormal cells". I was actually out of town when I got the call from Dr. Slupik. She was kind and educating while she described my results. "Sometimes this happens because of an irritation, an infection or precancerous cells are found on the cervix." She went on with more information but at this point all I could hear was my heart beating so fast that my ear drums felt like they were overheating. She asked me if I had any questions and I said "No" and hung up really quickly. After I hung up I had a mini breakdown for about :30 seconds and I called the office right back. I said in tears "I don't understand what's going on. I don't sleep around, I don't smoke, I take good care of myself... I'm so scared!" Not my proudest moment but it was an honest one. It was a moment where I needed a doctor to tell me everything she studied for 6 years in a 5 min conversation. I needed to know I was in good hands and that she understood my feelings. Dr. Slupik was so wonderful and took a good 15-20 mins to explain everything that could possibly happen or is happening. Now, fast forward to my follow up appointment. I came in with a stomach ache I was so nervous. Her nurse (who is the kindest woman alive) gave me a hug and said "Oh honey, don't worry, she's going to take good care of you and I'll be in there with you if you need a comforting hand." Adorable right? Nothing says comfort like holding hands with a nurse while there is a speculum in your vagina. I had the follow-up thingy and it wasn't painful at all. Don't, I repeat DON'T google the procedure if you are about to have one. I found myself engulfed in horror stories of women who had this routine proceedure and it literally had me nauseous for days. It was a piece of cake. Nothing like the stories I found online. Thank God. I'm still waiting for my results but the whole experience made me appreciate wonderful doctors like Dr. Slupik. She called me twice that evening to make sure I was doing just fine. I'm sure she thinks I'm and OCD maniac but my vagina means a lot to me so I need to make sure it's in the best hands possible. And, it is. She rocks! read more

I really did want to like Dr. Slupik. I mean, who likes shopping around for a new doctor, especially an OB/GYN? Ugh. The day of my appointment went well. My appointment was actually on-time (kudos to her efficient staff), and she was able to do the Pap smear and get me out in 25 minutes. At checkout, I gave them my insurance card and paid my $20 copay. To avoid surprises, I asked if I would need to owe anything else, and if so, I'd like to pay it now. Her nurse reassured me that I wouldn't owe anything else. So far a 5-star experience....or so I thought. Fast forward 3 months, and I get a bill in the mail asking me to pay the remainder of my bill! WTF?!?! I don't know about you, but being blindsided by these kind of surprises is one of my biggest pet peeves! Be upfront people! Damn it! Back to shopping.... read more

AVOID!!!! TERRIBLE! I went here because I thought it was a safe choice (accepts my insurance, good location, and she has a good degree) - but I was SO wrong. Her bedside manner is cold, heartless, and insensitive. She completely ignores your questions...the below reviews are true...she treats you like you've somehow inconvenienced her by walking in. She also refused to write a generic prescription for me, and pushed a brand name I was not comfortable with. Then she tried to push another drug on me that I was completely not interested in and actually criticized me for not being open to it. She then proceeded to put a pamphlet on my purse after I insisted several times I did not want it. Seriously? I have a sneaking suspicion she has some quota to fill... The only good thing is that her appointment was very quick (in and out in 20 minutes) but this was at the expense of a quality experience. She didn't answer my questions, and based on the other reviews, I'm now expecting to receive a large bill in the mail. read more

Like everyone else, I was blindsided by the amount I was billed for after my visit. I've never and I mean never paid this much out of pocket-yea roughly $300 dollars. Isn't that why I have Aetna?? ;( Pros would be that she is very efficient so I was done in less than 15 min. But I like alittle personality and chatter..I mean were talking about my reproductive and sexual health here so sterility isn't welcomed. I'm giving her one star since all my previous gyns in DC have been great and way more tech savy. ie like yearly check-ups include screening for ovarian cancer- ultrasound of your ovaries. And all that only cost me my $20 co-pay. read more

Who remembers that name of the doctor that you have not seen in 24 years? Me, if she was so rude and insulting that the memory remains intensely unpleasant. I was a young bank executive with HMO insurance - a professional person of above-average income. Apparently she despised HMOs and treated me as if I was on welfare. I overheard her make a disparaging remark outside of the exam room while I was waiting. She said, "I'll call you back, I'm in HMO CLINIC right now!" with the tone of voice usually reserved for comments like, "I am cleaning up vomit in the men's room." She BARELY made it to the baby's delivery. The nurses were screaming, "The doctor isn't here yet!" as the baby was starting to arrive. They were panicking and rushing me around. The doctor rushed in, delivered the baby, said "See you in 2 days when I discharge" and was gone. 2 days later, she discharged me pronto. I tried to ask her a question and she barked, "Don't you remember what I already told you about that???" referring to something she thought she had told me WHILE I WAS GIVING BIRTH! I'm 55 and have met a lot of doctors. She was one of the worst. PS - I later met up with a woman from lamaze class who had given birth at the same time, but she had private insurance, not HMO. She painted a picture of a very sweet and caring doctor. read more

I've been seeing Dr Slupik for about 5 years, and she has consistently been a great doctor. She answers all of my questions and has a very direct, honest demeanor that I really appreciate. I'm not there to be coddled or to talk about my life outside of my physical health, I have a therapist for that. She's personable, but she doesn't overstep. Her assistant, Noemi, is a very sweet, very caring woman. They are kind of the perfect pair, they balance one another well. They're like Benson and Stabler, Kirk and Spock, Konstantinov and Lidstrom. The only time I've ever needed to be reassured or emotionally comforted in any way was when I went in last year after being sexually assaulted. Dr Slupik was very gentle but read me well and didn't go too far into the "I'm so sorries" but instead addressed my concerns and gave me a few words of encouragement. Noemi, of course, hugged me, comforted me and made sure I had someone to talk to (I did, the aforementioned therapist.) I didn't want to be spoken to like a victim, I just wanted to have my tests done and to move on and they treated me like an adult, which I appreciated. I don't think she is cold or rude at all, I think some people just don't read her well and react in kind. I have the same problem, actually, as my emotional expressions are generally subdued, so I understand her well. Finally, I've never had any problems with billing or insurance and I've been with her through two different insurance companies. read more

I saw Dr Slupik for the first time in January for my annual. She is quick and efficiant, not the most chatty but I'm not the kind of person that enjoys a deep convo while getting a pap smear. I waited in the waiting room for maybe 5 minutes, which is amazing since I attempted this appt during my lunch break (achieved successfully). At first she wrote my prescription for birth control for 6 months but I called the office a week later and explained that my insurance only pays for 1 exam a year and she wrote a new prescription for the whole year and changed it to the cheaper generic version that had the same formulary as my former prescription at my request. Overall, good MD and gyno, not the most warm and fuzzy but the job gets done and she has always been accomodating for me! read more

I went to Dr. Slupik fall of 2016 and had a horrible experience. She was very unwelcoming. Not only did she not ask me questions about my overall health, she barely looked me in the eye and spoke at all. My entire annual exam took a total of 7 minutes. No way should that be possible. Just an introduction of who the patient is, along with admission questions, should take atleast 7 minutes. The pap and exam was rushed. She in no way seem that she cared. read more

Wow! I am stunned to read some of Dr. Slupik's reviews. 22 years ago........Yes, I am older than dirt..........I was in NMH to deliver a baby and it was Christmas. My doctor was on vacation and I was assigned Dr. Slupik as my doctor's fill-in. I LOVED Dr. Slupik. She was thorough, answered all questions, her bedside manner was beyond reproach, she was calm and collected and she made what could have been a bad experience for me a WONDERFUL one. She delivered my preemie, had all of the necessary people and/or equipment in place and followed my case as if I were her own patient right from the beginning of my pregnancy. I was in the hospital for 8 days and I saw Dr. Slupik every day and she was always very friendly, a little bit snappy (which I loved) and gracious. I liked Dr. Slupik so much that I never returned to my original OB and went to her for follow-up. Perhaps Dr. Slupik has become a little "snapier" in her old age (and she is not old, but indeed is 22 years older than when she delivered my child) and folks are feeling that she is rude, when indeed she is a bit snappy! I don't know about others, but I thought this lady was great and I would highly recommend her. Her skills and knowledge were right at the top. Also, at the time, she was doing some work at Children's Hospital and my daughter and I saw her at Children's. Again, she was WONDERFUL. I hope that people give Dr. Slupik another chance if they haven't been happy with her in the past. She is really an outstanding physician. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Slupik for about 5 years, however, over the past few years she has progressively become more and more rude. She is extremely unapproachable and responds to your uncomfortable questions with demeaning attitude and makes you feel more uncomfortable. She has now gone over the top with horrible bedside manners for me by quickly stating she had a more important call to take and hung up on me WHILE I was inquiring about medication she was prescribing to me. Im done with this gyne, I highly urge you all to go elsewhere too. Ive had other docs that are incredibly sincere and genuinely understand your concerns. Always look for a doc that makes you feel comfortable and that you can talk to easily. read more

I sed to go to Dr. Slupik, I no longer go there, and stopped going there years ago. On March 2, 2012, i called her office and talked to her assistant, i informed her that i needed my medical records because i had relocated and had an appointment on March 21st. I then followed up with a fax letter authorizing approval to send me records. Low and behold...March 21st came and went, no records, had a 2nd appointment......still no records. Today, April 5 th, i call and they are pretty rude about it. They said they "faxed" them on March 27th (even though i asked that they be sent before my appointment).... I can't believe how rude they are. They also said that i need to understand because they are moving.....hello? I could be very sick and need them, seriously? I've read a lot of the e-mails below and it seems that its pretty common for "abnormal cells" and what not. I was told the same thing, had all kinds of procedures done, and guess what, i just had an exam and none of the same results came up. A miracle must of happened, and all of the abnormal cells i was having all of those months just vanished! I am happy to start over with a healthy vagina that is free and clear of all "abnormal cells". Maybe it just wanted a different touch. read more

I had the same issue with payments. The nurse said I was good to go, then I received multiple letters in the mail saying I owed them. Contacted my insurance company and we told they would cover it 100%. Contacted the nurse who told me she would take care of it and never did. I am still dealing with this issue and my appt was in August!! Word of caution. Make sure you completely understand what your insurance covers because they will not tell you. read more

My appointment with Dr. Slupik really couldn't have gone any better. As a new patient, I was worried about having to wait a long time before I was able to get an appointment, however I was able to get an appointment scheduled within 2 weeks. My appointment started exactly on-time and I found both the nurse and Dr. Slupik herself to be extremely helpful and pleasant. Both answered all the questions I had as well as gave me recommendations (birth control and the gardasil vaccine) as well as answered the questions that I had. I was out the door within 20 minutes and Dr. Slupik also provided me with a free 2-month sample of birth control. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely not dread this annual appointment in the future. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Slupik for a few years now and I really appreciate her quickness and advise. She doesn't make me feel stupid when asking questions and she does her best to make an uncomfortable situation comfortable. While the office isn't the nicest I've been to it is adequate for what needs to be done and I rarely have to wait too long to get into a room which means I can schedule the appointment over my lunch hour without any problem. read more

Ramona Slupik is an impeccable doctor, and her nurse is a saint.

Scheduling an appointment here is the absolute worst. They told the only time you can schedule an appointment is between 8am and 10am (I was hoping to come in before work or on my lunch break) but that they're "usually running behind, so you can probably come in around 11am if you call us the morning of" and then when they couldn't see me any later than 10am charged me a $50 cancellation fee (with absolutely no warning/communication of any kind---I only realized it because literally over a year later it showed up as a mark against my credit). An all around shady, unethical, lazy, all-they-care-about-is-taking-your-money doctor's practice that should be avoided at all costs! read more

I visited Dr. Slupik for a normal yearly exam. My appointment was at 930 and I was in the elevator leaving at 934. She was very fast and very gentle. She is nice and she was easy to talk to about any questions. The assistant/ receptionist was also very nice and helpful. She made sure I was comfortable I would def. recommend this doctor to my friends she was great read more

I usually go to my appointments on my lunch break. Not only do I have time to walk to the office (about half mile from work), but I have time to grab lunch afterwards. I really appriciate that she doesn't overbook herself. The receptionist has always been friendly and helpful. The most notable thing about Dr. Slupik, though, is that she will actually call you back (usually within an hour). Most doctor's office will either make you book an appointment or if someone calls you it will be a nurse. But anytime I have had a question or concern I always get a call back from her. And it's not as if my issue was life threatening (or even that important to anyone else probably). read more

I've continued to see Dr. Slupik for 7 plus years. She's quick in getting the job done, the annual stuff. Answers my questions. I like to be in and out in less then 30 minutes. Plus, I like the free supply on birth control pill, anything to save me cash. I like that if I need her she's only a phone call away. She was paged once and within 45 minutes she was calling. read more

I think it really depends on your personality whether you like Dr. Slupik or not. I am a very fast-paced, "let's get this done" kind of person. I love that I never wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor and she gets me in and out in minutes. Any questions I have are answered clearly and concisely without any sugar coating. When I have abnormalities and need further appts or testing, I don't need the dr to be compassionate and reassuring. That is my husbands job, not hers. What I need the dr to do is take care of the medical issue and get me out of there and on with life. I want to jump right in and get it done. That is Dr. Slupik's style, so we get along well. read more

I am also surprised by the negative feedback. I really like Dr. Slupik. I enjoy talking to her and I find her responses are direct, thoughtful and intelligent. I also think that it may be a personality thing. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Slupik for the past four years and my experiences have been great. Like the other reviewers, I appreciate that she gets me in and out in a half hour. There's very little waiting around and no small talk. Who wants to get chatty while someone is poking in your business anyway? Her assistant is the sweetest woman alive. What Dr. Slupik lacks in sociability her assistant makes up for. She's comforted me more than a few times after test results. I also like that Dr. Slupik is very flexible about giving out free samples of birth control. I think she gave me 4-5 months worth one time! She also is good about answering questions and didn't act at all annoyed when I switched my birth control four times in one month. The only negative I see is that Dr. Slupik isn't able to do more complex procedures or act as a birthing doctor. If I were having babies, I'd wish Dr. Slupik could deliver them. I have a feeling her no-nonsense approach would calm me down in that situation. read more

I have been seeing Dr Slupik for several years now, after trying many other MDs looking for painless, educated, quick and friendly OB-gyn regular checkups and consultations. If ever I have a couple of questions or concerns she answers me clearly and directly, and quite comprehensively on the matter. Most importantly for my taste however is that she minimizes the pain of the session, she helps me relax to get it over smoothly. Other MDs I have seen didn't care about this at all, like "hey it's sensitive down there, don't you know it?" read more

Dr. Slupik runs a well-oiled practice. She has a no frills, straightforward get-it-done attitude which is great if that's how you typically roll. I was in and out of her office in 35 minutes-- this included filling out new patient forms, presenting my insurance info, a full examination, and explaining/writing a new prescription. I've never had such a quick, "no hassel" Dr's appt. I'd agree she's not the warmest or most approachable person, but as a 24 year old with no medical issues, I don't particularly want hand-holding through a check up. Furthermore, her assistant is great. I called as a new patient inquiring for an annual check up-- it was going to be about 3 weeks before they could get me in (not bad), so I booked it. Later that day I received a call from her assistant saying that they'd had a cancellation for the very next morning and I could take the appointment if I wanted it, which I did. Efficient service like this is unheard of in the medical field, especially in the city. I took a personal day for this appointment anticipating the delays which are usually the norm at the doctors' offices, thinking it could eat up my whole morning -- silly me! I'm pretty confident that I could be in and out of there during my lunch period next time. read more

1. If you don't understand your insurance policy, that's your fault, not the doctor. Call your company and confirm coverage before setting an appointment. 2. Dr. Slupik is great. I'm not sure who really wants to be "chatty" with their OBGYN. She is efficient and professional, responds quickly and courteously to in person questions and over the phone throughout the year. read more

This doctor completely misdiagnosed me. I bled and bled and she coldly responded that some women in pregnancy bleed like that. I got so miserable I couldn't work. Then she ordered a d&c and I told her I still felt pregnant--she blew me off. three weeks later after I went to Evanston Hospital with severe abdominal pain and they did a pregnancy blood test was it confirmed that I was still pregnant and I had an ectopic pregnancy that blew out my fallopian tube--a 7 centimeter blood clot--did Slupik take me seriously. She operated and afterwords she sat in my hospital room with her head in her hands asking how did she miss it? read more

I had been seeing Dr. Slupik for a number of years, and what I liked most was that she is direct, efficient and gets you out fairly quickly. Her nurse is just wonderful--friendly, caring, etc. Yesterday, after my visit with her, I decided to find a new gyn. Toward the end of my visit, I asked her a simple question, and her response was very insulting. At first, I thought I was being just too sensitive, but no. It was an insulting response, and unnecessarily so. Needless to say, I will not be seeing her for any more annual visits. read more

Dr. Slupik is my hero - she is the reason I have two healthy boys today. 20 years ago I lost two babies when I was 6 months pregnant with each one due to an incompetent cervix that Dr. Slupik was able to diagnose. With my third pregnancy, she put me on bedrest immediatley and on medication to stop contractions. My son Patrick was born on September 14, 1987 at Northwestern Hospital, delivered by Dr. Slupik. With Dr. Slupik's expertise, I delivered another healthy son on January 23, 1989. She is a fantastic doctor who really cares about her patients! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Slupik because my doctor was booked solid. My visit with her was horrible! Yes! I said horrible. Since this was my first visit, her receptionist gave me a form to fill out. This form asked about any illnesses, etc. I have Epilepsy in which I stated on the form and that I am allergic to Pennicillin. I also informed her of my seizures during the thoughtless brief exam. The exam was extremely painful--I've never had an exam like that. She didn't address any of my questions nor did she questioned me as to what medication I was taking. Basically, this "doctor" prescribed an antibiotic which caused me to have seizures back to back. This could have been fatal. My family contacted her and she had the nerve to then prescribed another antibiotic and said she would contact me in a few days. I did not take the other prescribed antibiotic and did not hear from her again. I injured my right knee during the seizures which has taken 6 months to semi-heal with therapy. Dr. Slupik was cold, rude, careless, thoughtless, and she also mis-diagnoised me. My family was terrified because I was hospitilized for her incompetence and I could have died. PLEASE AVOID THIS "SO CALLED" DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. Slupik and Noemi are amazing. I've been going to Dr. Slupik for over 5 years and will continue to go to her. She and Noemi are efficient and you can get in and out quickly for your examination. Dr. Slupik is a straight shooter which I appreciate, but is also kind, particularly about my infertility issues. I had a ruptured cyst and they took me in right away and worked magic to get me an ultrasound the same day at the hospital. Just superb service. I feel I am in really great hands. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Slupik for over 10 years. She is, in my opinion, the best gynecologist in the city. She sees you quickly, is thorough, is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and has given me the straight poop since day 1. I've recommended her to many friends, and they all like her as much as I do. She helped me prepare for pregnancy at the tender age of 39 (successfully), and recommended a wonderful OB (Dr. Stanley Friedell). I went back to her once the postpartum period ended. I have never had a biling issue, nor have been offended by being billed. I can't imagine seeing any other gynecologist. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Slupik regularly for about 25 years! I would highly recommend her. She is an outstanding physician. Her staff is well organized and caring. I have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes. I can always get in to see her for emergencies. She is a good listener and good at what she does. I would never see anyone else but her! read more

My experience with Dr. Slupik has been decent up to now. I have recently left 4 messages to make an appointment with her answering service and none have been returned. My prescription has now officially expired. I guess I will be finding a new dr. read more

Dr. Slupik is a great doctor for women's health. I have been seeing her for over 15 years . If you are interested in a doctor who is thorough and who truly cares about your well-being, she is the one to see. She is professional and will help you work through whatever medical issue you have. I ended up having to have surgery at one time and she actually called me at home to see how I was doing. I cannot say enough good about her. She is top-notch at what she does and I don't mind that she is not much for small talk as the care she delivers is excellent. read more

I have always had so-so experiences at gynecologists and the last 7 years I've always had a negative test that made my experience stay in my mind more so than the normal 'annual checkup person'. That being said, I procrastinated finding a doctor in chicago for a year. Finally, my previous doctor said that I hadn't had a pap smear in well over a year and she wasn't going to prescribe birth control to me until I got one. I quickly started researching doctors at Northwestern and somehow happened upon Dr. Slupik, although I have no idea why her name was given in my search results. I don't think she has anything to do with Northwestern ( I wish I would have known that before I saw her). I made the appointment and had to wait a month and a half to see her, which I didn't think was that bad. I then got a call from her assistant saying that they had to move my appointment time, which was fine. I waited another two weeks and since I was scared to see a gynecologist, I didn't sleep the night before and was all worked up. I went to work, tired and groggy on a monday morning waiting for my 12:15 appointment. I got a call around 9:30 saying they had to cancel my appointment and would have to move it to two weeks from now. Even though I was annoyed, I was kind of relieved that I didn't have to go. When two weeks came along, I was less nervous, but still anxious because in my mind, something was going to be wrong...which had been the case every visit that I had had with other doctors. When I got to the office, the assistant was very friendly and I spent probably 10 minutes filling out paperwork. I went into the room to wait for the doctor and when she came in, we spent probably 1.5 minutes talking about birth control, which she gave me a free 3 month supply of...which to me wasn't all that impressive since I pay $0 for any healthcare or medications...then she did the exam and for someone who has a history of endometriosis, she couldn't have cared less. Her exam of my ovaries was the worst pain I had experienced in a long time. When she was done (about 3 minutes in total now) she had her hand on the door knob and I was quickly trying to think if there was anything else I needed to ask her...I felt robbed. I honestly felt like I had a drive-by. I have had some bad doctors in the past, but she topped the cake. My advice is that if you've never had anything wrong and you are only there to get birth control, she's your woman...if you want a doctor that will answer your questions and actually care about what you need or how you feel, go elsewhere. I intend on going to northwestern, where I thought she was affiliated with in the beginning. I'm sure some people appreciate her lack of bedside manner, but I am not one of those people. I need a doctor who will assure me that there are no lumps in my breasts, rather than spending a grand total of 5 seconds feeling for any. I also would like a doctor to say "I'm sorry that was uncomfortable" when they are causing me to yell when they are pressing so hard. Like I've said, I've had some bad doctors in the past, but I've never written a review about them. This is my first review of a doctor and I think people should read this if they are new patients of hers. read more
