The receptionist at the family waiting area was very sweet and kept us updated on our patient, his surgeons were very nice and explained everything in detail. They gave him an anti anxiety medication to help calm his nerves, and also gave him an anti nausea patch. The transportation guy, Malcolm, was also very sweet and gentle with him. Shoutout to Aaron who is a doctor in the post op center. We were there all day and the vibes were nice and comfortable.

Now my wife went there for a second opinion on open heart surgery and guess what? No one I mean NO ONE has gotten back to her yet 7 months later and the excuse they all use is I'm waiting on your medical records. I can be treated like crap for free I don't need to pay for it. If you value your life and you are hell bent on coming here stay on them because if you don't they will forget all about you. And, before you ask I have one of the best insurances in the country, so getting paid was not a problem. In closing there are too many sick people and not enough doctors to take care of all of them and it's so easy at RUSH to fall through the cracks. A side note my primary care doctor was AWESOME Dr. Austin ( in Indiana small clinic) very very professional.

    Called this clinic looking for help getting an MRI. They said they don't do MRIs, which is fine, so…read moreI asked if they could recommend someone local who does. I was told they "don't know anyone." That alone was surprising (you're a local pain clinic, allegedly a specialist, but you don't know a single other professional in your industry in the area?), but it got worse. When I said I wasn't a current patient, the response was basically "sorry, we can't help" and the call was ended. Every doctor or clinic I've ever dealt with has at least a short list of referrals when they can't help directly. This felt less like healthcare and more like "if you're not paying us, we're not interested." Not helpful at all. Would not recommend if you're looking for guidance or support navigating care.

I brought in my husband's credit card, which I'm an authorized user of, and the front desk said that they had to call him and get his verbal consent for me to use the card. He was unable to answer, so I used my own card, but I really didn't have the money to pay and I was nervous about it. Also, my husband was in a car accident the week before and I had no car and had taken an Uber there. So I changed my mind and decided not to keep the appointment and got the charges reversed. I then went in and apologized because I had been upset and tried to explain but they said I had to wait for the OM. I waited 30 mins and then they said she would call me. Also, they flagged my husband's card as fraudulent and I was unable to take an Uber home and a patient gave me a ride home. Also, when I did speak to the OM she was so mean and bullying, that I cried afterwards.

I called and called only to reach Ashley the AI person who never transfers you to a human being or makes an appointment if you are in need of spine surgery you definitely want someone who's inept. These people are not you cannot get in for anything for surgery and appointment. Nothing I've been trying since February and that's not how you treat people that are in pain. I do not recommend MAPS

On a daily basis I moan, groan and gripe to do the easiest things from brushing my teeth to an average household tasks. Owning a small business my clients rely on me to be able to fulfill orders and keep content and merchandise fresh. Without adequate care my quality of life has been horrid. Remaining stoic in front of family friends and loved ones HAD BEEN a great task as I have tried to hide my pain until it became evident to everyone around me I couldn't even play a round of golf before retiring after a few holes. (and that's not bc I was in the sand and water all day either! L:) ) Experience: My experience with Midwest Pain has given me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel again. With amazing attention to detail, a combined approach of Physical Therapy, On-Site Treatment, and Honest Approach from day 1 gives them a 10 Star review in my book. PA-C Angie Osmanski 10 Stars for your amazing attention to detail and treatment plan you prepared for me. Chewly at intake 10 stars you are amazing and are worth every penny. Dr. Pontinen 10 stars for your communication. A rare thing nowadays. A Diamond in the Rough, If you have concerns, they take them serious. They are also very adamant as they should be about about explaining and making sure patients understand the medication being prescribed what it does and how it works. They do not prescribe just to prescribe. This is a legit establishment and they have quite the Roster of Doctors on they're Team that all have unique areas of training in different areas of pain management So it's a safe bet that someone on they're Team can help find the best treatment plan for anyone in need of Pain Management. I Highly recommends MW pain and look forward to my ongoing road to recovery. Thank you MW PAIN for making tying a knot when I came to the end of my rope ! Thanks for helping me get my life back! 5 years after initial review update below Treatment has progressed. I have been able to play golf. Pain is managed to a maintainable level. Been more active and actually lost weight over this period. My Apple Watch shows significantly more active in exercise and being able to enjoy life. Breathe more fresh air touch, grass, and explore the globe. A total 180 from my way of life prior to MAPS. The process has also been expeditiously quicker. Employees are kind courteous and professional and mindful of patients time to be sure your inn and out in a timely fashion. GS

    It's 2026 and it has been decades since I was able to breathe freely in the Spring!…read more I can't say enough good things about Chicago Nasal and Sinus Center. From the very first visit, the entire staff has been consistently professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. I've been under their care since January 2025, and the improvement in both my symptoms and overall quality of life has been incredible. The front office and clinical staff run a smooth, organized practice, and you're always treated with respect and genuine care. Appointments are efficient without ever feeling rushed, and it's clear that patient comfort and outcomes truly matter here. A very special thank‑you to Amy Brussee, PA‑C, who has been overseeing my care. Amy is thorough, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. She listens, answers questions thoughtfully, and makes each visit feel personalized rather than transactional. I always leave confident that I'm in excellent hands. I also want to recognize Melanie, the nurse who administers my allergy shots. She is consistently kind, calm, and professional, and makes what could easily be an uncomfortable process incredibly easy and stress‑free. THANKS, MEL!! If you're looking for an allergist or sinus specialist in Chicago who combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion, I highly recommend Chicago Nasal and Sinus Center. They set the bar for what patient‑centered care should look and feel like.

He educated me about the sinuses and where my pain and discomfort were coming from and offered solutions. I was using a product that was not working well for me so that was good to know as well. He made clear that he's available to me for further follow up consultation/discussion if I want to call him. His office was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and knew their stuff. Although I didn't use it, they have parking validation stickers for a lot a couple of blocks away. I will recommend him to anyone who needs an ENT, without reservation.

I trust my surgeon, which is why I decided to proceed with having the surgery in this location despite the reviews. I have to say that my experience at this center was excellent! Every single interaction I had with their admin & medical staff was kind and informative. They made me feel taken care of and the friendly/calm demeanor of the nurses & other medical staff helped me feel less nervous going into surgery. I decided to leave this review in case it helps anyone else feel less nervous but also because I truly think they're trying to do better, or at least I hope that's the case. Wishing a prompt healing experience to anyone undergoing surgery soon!
