I have been suffering from migraine headaches since childhood after a bad accident in which my…read moreskull was cracked open. Then about eight years ago, I got hit with nerve pain after having surgery to "cure my migraines!" If it was not for Dr. Robbins and his expertise on how to deal with headaches and nerve pain, I would not be here writing this review. Dr. Robbins genuinely cares about his patients, he always takes the time to listen. Through his knowledge as a neurologist and a pharmacologist, we are able to control my pain through Botox injections and medication. I highly recommend Dr. Robbins if you suffer from any sort of head pain. He is rated as one of the top ten headache specialists in the country. His staff is extremely caring too! I vote Dr. Robbins staff as #1 in the country! So,you are in good hands. You can read up on Dr Robbins @ HeadacheDrugs.Com.

He actually listens when you talk to him and doesn't give up trying to find the patient The best medicine & treatment for their condition. For myself, he pretty much helped to give me my life back. Not that I was totally pain free, but he did work to find the best meds that helped my condition the most. He helped me to get most of my functioning back, and got my chronic pain under control far beyond the level that any other doctor was able to. My wife and I are so grateful to Dr. Robbins, for all the things he has been able to do for us over the years. As he is currently retiring, we will greatly miss him, and many of his staff. Paul

As a patient of this doctor for over five years, I have always been treated with the utmost concern…read moreand respect by both the doctor and the office staff on every visit and phone call. Dr. Venugopal is a warm, caring doctor who has treated me for stress, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD and clinical depression. She works closely with me to make sure my needs are addressed in terms I understand. She encourages questions and is very patient. She closely monitors my medication to ensure I am neither over or under medicated. She encourages my active participation in my treatment. I highly recommend her.

She refuses to call in scripts and makes me call my pharmacy and make the pharmacist call in ALL requests to the doctor. I've never dealt with an office who won't give the doctor a script request. I find the receptionist lazy and very inefficient. Often, I have to keep calling the office and asking if the refill was called in. I've been told by the receptionist that she will NOT contact me when the script is called into the pharmacy, and I can just "keep calling your pharmacy until it gets there." HUH??!! When I tried to explain to the receptionist that this is a very inefficient way to know when I can pickup my daughter's meds, she replied, "it's the only way, because I don't know when or IF scripts are refilled." Then, "sleepy sounding receptionist" hangs up, and I spend the next 5+ hours trying to guess when to pickup my daughter's meds, and if they've even been called in at all. The receptionist also blames ME when she never returns my calls. When I finally get upset because I can't get the office to call me back, the receptionist says, "I left you a message. You must not have gotten it." This excuse worked the first and second times, but by the 3rd time, it's just annoying. Even when I explain that I don't have any missed calls from the office and NO messages, the receptionist than blames my phone and says "something must've happened." Huh??! No, nothing "happened" other than I can't seem to get returned calls from this office. Today, after waiting for 2 days for a return call, I was told "sorry, the doctor already left for the day, so you will need to wait another day before she can call in medicine for your daughter." So, tomorrow will be DAY THREE that we wait, when this should really take 5 minutes. It might be time to search for other options in St. Charles. As I mentioned, Dr. Venugopal is a great doctor, but if you want to see her, be prepared to fight with her receptionist to get refills, appointments or returned calls (and be prepared to be blamed too). I've had experience with other psychiatrists' offices with my daughter (in different places we've lived), and this office is definitely one of the worst to deal with (because of the staff).

I don't feel it's appropriate to review physicians in the same format used to review restaurants,…read moresince so much of the outcome (in the case of a physician) depends on the patient. However I have to say that Dr. Baskaya, who operated on and cared for my mother in the spring of 2011, consistently impressed me as having that rare quality - - rarest of all in a surgeon - - humility. The other thing that struck me about seeing him at work over the course of a week or more, was that his staff adores him. I would not hesitate to place myself or any of my loved ones in his care. Since he's a neurosurgeon, I hope that doesn't happen, of course, but should the need arise, he will be my first choice.

Calling to schedule a neurology appointment for my father was already stressful enough given his…read moremedical condition. Unfortunately, the experience became even worse because of the receptionist, Olga. From the start, her tone was rude and dismissive. I am authorized to schedule appointments for my father, and while trying to do so, she repeatedly asked me for insurance codes and terminology I wasn't familiar with. I explained that I had the insurance information and referral, and that most offices simply verify the details themselves. Instead of helping, she continued speaking in insurance jargon and placed me on hold multiple times. At one point, she told me she couldn't access the insurance information herself. Minutes later, she somehow had all of my father's insurance information available through the referral that had already been sent. The entire conversation was unnecessarily confusing and frustrating. She then accused me of being rude. I was not rude--I was direct because I was on a short break at work and simply trying to get an appointment scheduled. There is a difference. What happened next was the most concerning part. After providing my father's information, I was told they would not be scheduling or seeing him because of my alleged behavior toward the receptionist. I was shocked. This is a neurology office where patients often wait months for appointments and are dealing with serious medical issues. Caregivers already have enough on their plates without being treated this way. Before writing this review, I read other reviews and noticed multiple complaints about rude front desk staff. Based on my experience, those concerns appear to be valid. I cannot speak to the quality of the doctor because we were never given the opportunity to become patients. The physician may be excellent, but the front office experience was so unprofessional that my father was effectively denied access before ever being seen. Very disappointing.

Lumbar spinal disc degeneration is no fun. One of the worst things you can do if you have this…read morecondition is participate in high impact sports such as running. I used to run 25 to 30 miles a week and did this for about 8 years. Unknowingly at the time, my lumbar spine and hips took a beating. I received a lumbar spinal fusion in 2001, and had complications (lumbosacral root disorder, hip spine syndrome and arthritis). Those complications led to my falling and sustaining 5 concussions (post concussion syndrome) in the last 2 years, and using a walker and a cane for mobility. Dr. Eric Ericson is my neurologist. I selected him after researching his credentials, which are outstanding. We also share the same alma mater (Go Cats!) so I felt comfortable immediately with him. What I like most about him is he listens and is supportive. The brain MRI results enabled him to create a plan tailored to my needs. With all of the falls, I've developed PTSD and painfully intense hip problems, too. I'm receiving hip injections, physical therapy, and massage and psychological counseling. Some days I want to throw in the towel, but my care team and family have been so supportive that there is no way I could ever let them down. I'm still climbing the mountain to recovery and know it will be strenuous at times, but I'm in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Ericson and his staff because they not only know their stuff, but they really care. Yes, they care.
