I think I found the best internist, EVER. Setting up an appointment was a breeze - the…read morereceptionist, Angie, is a sweetheart, and she was able to squeeze me in when luckily there was a cancellation. The office is located off of St. Clair in the Northwestern Memorial building (and there is validated parking available); the office is very cute, clean, and modern, and I waited less than 10 minutes after my scheduled time (which is pretty much unheard of; the receptionist also apologized which I thought was ridiculous!). I filled out basic medical history and such on their patient portal beforehand, which I thought was quite convenient and makes things more efficient. I was really excited with all the raving reviews on not only on Yelp, but on other health websites that rated Dr. O'Mara. When the doc walked in, she was extremely nice, very knowledgeable, straightforward, a great listener, gentle, professional, and very informative. She listened to all of my health issues as well as my thoughts and opinions, and basically gave me a plan of action. She took her time with me, asking questions, and the whole time, I was not felt rushed! The best thing is that she was very genuine and I was extremely comfortable, being a new patient with all these high expectations! There is a lab on-site, and the phlebotomist, Lauren P., was so sweet and kind, and drawing blood was not at all uncomfortable (considering I have a very low threshold of pain and am such a pansy!). Dr. O'Mara and everyone on staff seems to be extremely detail-oriented and organized (which I absolutely love). The high ratings on the doc do not do her justice - she really is AWESOME. I have a follow-up next week am actually looking forward to a doctor's appointment - isn't that crazy?! I am looking forward in being Dr. O'Mara's patient for years to come! +ask for Angie, the receptionist :D +Dr. O'Mara = AWESOME +limited parking (park at garage)

I wish I could give Dr. O'Mara higher praise than 5 stars. I have recommended friends and…read morecoworkers alike, and now I recommend her to you. Dr. O'Mara's office is a clean, modern one-physician practice. She exhibits all of the professionalism and knowledge I have come to expect and appreciate from Northwestern practitioners and affiliates. I was randomly assigned to her through Northwestern's physician referral practice after I suffered a serious medical event and I was shocked by how great my experiences with her have been. My initial consultation was in her office, where she interviewed me about all of my health concerns, family history, and really took the time to get to know both me as a person and my health issues. Despite a relatively complicated health history, Dr. O'Mara has gone above and beyond. She takes the time to research issues about my medicine and listens to my questions, no matter how silly they may seem to me, in a non judgmental environment. She has followed up on problems or before procedures through phone calls about things I, at times, hadn't even thought about. She is always eager to explain these things to me. She truly cares about her patient's well being and happiness -- even following up on what I thought about places she had sent me for a referral. In short, I have never received this level of care with any doctor before. Her assistant, Angie, is also very nice and helpful. To top it off, it's extremely easy to make appointments here, and Dr. O'Mara keeps an electronic portal where you can ask her questions, view your test results quickly, and access other features from your visits. If you need a new internal medicine doctor, visit Dr. O'Mara.

I went to her three months ago with constant head and…read moreneck pain and she blew me off saying it was migraines and wrote me a prescription for some very expensive drugs. No tests run, didn't listen to most of what I said. A month later I returned because the headaches hadn't gone away. She didn't even examine me and gave me another migraine medicine. Last week I went to another doctor. She ordered a cat scan first thing. Turns out that I have a severe sinus infection... never mind that this was one of the things I suggested to Dr. Kissinger on my original visit, which she promptly dismissed. Gee, I wonder if it was as severe THREE months ago when Dr. Kissinger should have caught it to begin with!? If you want a quality, thorough doctor, try Dr. Anne Suh (also reviewed on yelp). She's at a different practice in the loop and is VERY thorough and willing to listen and get to the bottom of the problem.

I did not pay the first visit, hoping insurance would cover, and paid $63 the for the remaining visits. I subsequently was charged additional $$$ for both types of visits and have had to spend significant time trying to sort it out.

Luckily, Dr. Lee was available when I had one of my many medical issues. He was thorough and friendly and easy to talk to. I've probably seen him way too many times since initially meeting with him two years ago. When I was deathly sick with the flu this December, I called up the office after hours number to reach any doctor (this was approximately 8pm). I was told a doctor would call me back. I was thinking a general doctor on call would call me, but at around 8:30pm, Dr. Lee called me!!!!! What service!!! I was so impressed. He even remembered to ask me about my other health issues in addition to the one I had called about that day. What a great memory! A really great doctor! I'm hoping everyone wont be calling him up now that I've written this, but I have to give credit where credit is due!!

She offered 3 solutions which were 1. do nothing, 2. insert a donut to hold everything up, or 3. hysterectomy. Only a Pap Smear was done and Mammography and DexaScan prescribed. She did not run the complete battery of testing that was done in the past - no blood test and no urinalysis. If you want a complete exam when you are 65 go to someone else. And she did not wash her hands when she entered the room. I wonder why my blood pressure was high?

After understanding the situation I was trying to make an OB appointment for my pregnant wife and again, they attempted to schedule her with two different out-of-network doctors. I work in health insurance and know it is overly complicated, but they do not even try to verify or take responsibility for matching us with in-network doctors. After calling ten different numbers for the medical group for making an OB appointment there were none available for months out. We had to leave and go else where. I liked my doctor there but the medical group does not do its job and if my insurance does not make an exception then we will be stuck with thousands of dollars of bills because of their negligence (and my misunderstanding). I do not recommend.

She is not only thorough but she is compassionate. My first appointment with her was a follow up after an emergency room visit. First of all, she introduced herself as Karin, not Dr. Ulstrup. She asked great questions and actually listened to the answers. After hearing what a difficult year I was having she stopped what she was doing and said, "I'm really sorry you have been going through all of this." It was very genuine. She is also good with following up. I was supposed to go the dermatologist and had gotten busy and forgot. Her office called to remind me to make the appointment. My husband has now made an appointment with her as well. I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Ulstrup (I still prefer calling Dr.'s "Dr.").
