Very compassionate, loving, caring and takes time and not rushing when seeing her patients. She is my doctor that I totally trust with my health and well being. Im teally stressed right now that I'm losing her but hope she will still take me when she comes back in practice. Good luck and God bless in your future endeavor. You are one of the best and hope they can clone you, She was recommended to me by a great specialist when I was looking for one 13 years ago and followed her from one hospital to another and it was all worth it!! The Best of the Best!!!

Don't go to this Doctor. Yes, she is nice as she was my Doctor from 2000-2010 while she worked at…read moreMercy Clinic in Woodstock, Illinois, so I can't speak of other lawsuits against this Doctor, but I will briefly share my own experiences. My Medical Negligence lawsuit was dismissed in 2017 because of an error in my bankruptcy paperwork. I was in the ER on a Friday night and had to be squeezed unexpectedly into her Monday morning schedule. Unfortunately for me, I am permanently injured and declared disabled because of HER BAD DAY. I've had multiple surgeries on different areas of my body, in pain every day because of HER BAD DAY. This Doctor had to do the per-surgical clearances and she didn't even look me in the eye and apologize. She did show up at my deposition, though. My livelihood, my career of nearly 30 years is over because of HER BAD DAY. I have endured financial devastation, I lost my home and I am STILL spending $$ on medicinal/physical therapies because of HER BAD DAY. My life span is shortened. In retrospect, I wish I'd gotten a clue when on one of my personal appointments with this Doctor, she spent the majority of time telling me she was not going to refer anymore to the Non-For-Profit company I worked for, also in healthcare. She was ANGRY at one of my Supervisors. I am only speaking of my experiences, however, the other lawsuit(s)- public record. Yes, this Doctor can be nice, she will listen etc., just hope you don't have to be squeezed unexpectedly into her schedule on HER BAD DAY.

Sounds easy, right? The woman who called told me repeatedly that I had never been seen there. That's not true--I've been going there for about ten years. She finally said I hadn't been seen since the new charting system. How was I supposed to know what she was talking about? She also told me more than once that they weren't seeing sick patients because of the pandemic and I can't get a prescription without being seen. Sounds like a catch 22, right? At the very end she asked if I wanted to be transferred to one of the "girls" (are they employing high schoolers?) to schedule a televisit. So they ARE seeing patients, just not in person. I was so frustrated by the end of the call, I said no. Hey, Northwestern, when you have a minute, train the people on the phone to say, "Since you haven't been here since we changed systems..." and "We're not seeing patients in person, but we can set up a televisit" so that someone who is sick doesn't feel she's out of luck because "she's never been seen and they're not seeing people, so sucks to be you." This is probably a good time to switch doctors. (P.S. I don't know why Yelp is saying I live in San Francisco--I live in Crystal Lake)

Both my husband and I have been with his practice for 5 years. Everyone is kind and professional and efficient. Appts are easy to make. Waiting time, if any, is brief. They listen to what you say, you're never made to feel rushed, they give you options, and they guide you to the best path of treatment. Labs can be drawn there with results given within appropriate times. Return calls are always completed. For me, Dr Salvi is old-school, and that's a compliment for those of us who remember how doctors used to be......so with much gratitude to Dr Salvi and his team, and with much encouragement to the reader, you would be most happy at this practice. Blessings.

Dr. Salvi is warm and friendly and shares himself as a real person. He is the first doctor we've had in a long time who really seems to give you his full, caring attention.

I love seeing a doctor who has expertise but also respects his clients' experience and the information they bring to the table. As I said to him, I think we've finally found our doc!!

I have been her patient for 8 years. This is the last time!…read more She recently diagnosed me and made me think I was dying for something if she had read my chart would have never happened. I endured multiple test that were not needed. She never remembers my name the last time I saw her she thought I was a new patient. What was I thinking to bring my son to her for a physical now he is traumatized after she lacked simple human skills to share what she was going to do before actually doing it. Without being to descriptive he is a 12 year old boy who is having his very first complete body exam by a female. I get it she is a HMO and Public Aid provider but guess what there is a way to still have compassion and do a great job in a short period of time. She has qualified employees that work for her that can bear some of the hefty load placed on such providers. I work in the medical/ dental field and I get it. With her many employees able to do many things for her that should enable her to focus on the important things, like making sure she is being thorough in her examination and actually reviewing patients charts. I left feeling like a number and second guessing if she actually performed an actual physical in the 2 minutes of being in the room. While she was in the room with my son she was interrupted twice regarding other patients. I will find a new provider that can balance the work load with compassion, thoroughness, and simple communication skills.
