I was recently admitted for a few different things, starting from the ER. While a bit chaotic while they are under renovations for their new wing the nurses and staff made me feel important, and cared for every step of the way. It was a bit scary to see all the hospital beds lined up in the hallways and what not but I was always cared for. The ICU team is incredible! The nurses and doctors stopped by various times throughout the day to assure me they're keeping an eye on things and working on the best form of care to get me home to my little one safely. The nurses made me feel well taken care of. I didn't have my hair brush and one of the nurses braided my hair and talked to me about what was going on so that I wasn't as nervous about things happening. After leaving the hospital I got calls from the staff to make sure I was transitioning at home okay. The cardio team, they are a small but mighty team. I've been here for a few infusions and appointments, the doctors and nurses remember me and my family by name and are always checking in to make sure that the medications and everything is going well. Offering advice and various things to help my transitions. Overall, this is a great hospital! Every department I've experienced so far has been great, and the staff are so friendly.

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

In full transparency, my review is of my experience trying to see Dr. Robbins because,…read moredisappointingly, I never made it past a terrible experience with his staff. I've been managing a post-traumatic headache for over a year. The neurologist I've seen regularly recommended that I try a headache specialist after exhausting other available options. Dr. Robbins was one of the recommendations he made. I called in early November and was greeted with a brusque, "Doctor's Office" by the person who answered the phone. After clarifying that I had called the correct office, I explained that I was a new patient calling to request an appointment. She asked if I wanted an appointment with the nurse practitioner or the doctor. I explained my history, unsure of what the correct answer would be without any context. She acknowledged I should see the doctor and then told me their first available appointment was January 14. I expected a wait. And I realize Dr. Robbins is apparently a good doctor, which translates to being busy. But when you've had a headache for almost 500 days, waiting another two and a half months feels intolerable. I agreed to the January 14 appointment, figuring I would find a way to make it work and that it would be worth it. Until. Until. Until the office called me back and told me Dr. Robbins would now be out of the office on January 14 and would need to reschedule me. For a later date. Are you effing kidding me? I hope other people have better luck. I provided full availability to them, willing to bend over backwards to get some relief from this headache that's been plaguing me. It's disappointing that their customer service is so poor and more disappointing that I would be penalized for a change in the doctor's schedule after waiting 10 weeks to be seen.

Rude, uncaring, disrespectful staff. Cannot recommend, and I see others feel the same way too. If…read morethere are great doctors here, its a real shame their customer service isn't better. My husband tried 3 times this week to get an appointment with the Libertyville office. The receptionist (same person each time) was incredibly rude, disrespectful and very unwilling to help. She should be fired and I cannot believe that this person would be allowed to work there based on this experience. This was the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced with a healthcare company. I called for my husband not too long ago today and she rudely hung up on me while I was - very nicely may I add - explaining how much pain my husband was in, and that there is a technology issue with receiving information via fax to get an appointment scheduled. There is something wrong with this person. My husband's doctor faxed paperwork over 3 different times this week and they are telling us they are not getting it - hence why I was hoping for an alternative way to receive the paperwork needed to get the appointment. Seems they do not care much for patients or trying to assist with resolving any issues like this that come up. At this point, I'm not even sure I want my husband in the care of this place. A simple test was all that was needed to get scheduled, if they cannot even get that right, how can we trust their medical services too?

He cares deeply for his patients and his relaxed approach to office visits is preferred, at least for me. Dr. Wynn is well-educated and practiced in general medicine and neurology. He can diagnose various conditions that many other doctors do not. Cathy Meyer is an excellent nurse and extremely responsive and helpful as well. I've been to U of Chicago, Rush and Northwestern and I'll take Consultants over the other, factory-like neurology clinics every time.
