This morning I had a 9am appointment and 5 patients waiting. I hear cackles and laughter in the back and was told by another patient waiting that front staff were in a meeting. wtf?! How bout scheduling your office meeting BEFORE patients start checking in or perhaps AFTER?! No one here answers the phone when you need them because of who knows what. Again don't get me wrong Dr Maks is probably the best doctor I've ever had but something's gotten be done with the horrific front staff!

Initially, I kind of felt maybe I should wait a couple years before reviewing things, but this…read moreneeds to be said. I've found Oakton Park Medical Center to be extraordinarily competent from the front desk to the doctors. And they are technologically advanced - you get notifications, online access, electronic sign-in... even a tablet if the front desk is occupied. Doctors listen and explain everything. There's no rushing you out. No rushing you off the phone. If you have a question, they answer confidently and competently and do what they say. It's a medium sized office and they do stuff like ultrasound and labwork in-house so you don't need to run around for everything. One little thing I'm slightly concerned about is if under an HMO (since you need to see your PCP) an appointment will be available on short notice like a walk-in. Some larger places have walk-in hours, but that's not really a huge issue for me and I'm pretty sure they'd accommodate anybody in need based on the situation as they've been nothing but helpful with me. In my past experience with a Northshore Health office, my past provider was similar to ATT or Comcast - just too big and clumsy... Rude front desk that was too busy to answer you. My doctor would come in, see me for maybe 5 minutes, then walk out for five minutes. Then walk in for another minute and that's my appointment. If there's a billing issue, there'd be nobody competent enough to help you or if there was, good luck figuring who that is. At the time I had a PPO. After a couple years my specific Blue Cross PPO was no longer accepted by Northshore but nobody thought to check before my appointments. So I started getting charged out of network and I didn't understand what was happening so I paid. And they keep sending bills for something they should have caught. So I don't want Oakton Park to be too busy and turn into this mess, but they deserve the gratitude. A breath of fresh air in Skokie.

I was recommended to Dr. H by a friend, so I went t online and was able to book an appt for the next day. Dr. Hayes met with me and took the time to listen and dig in to my records. He followed up several times when I alerted him I was feeling worse. He took the time to attempt to recover some recent blood work I had done with another doctor and a chest X-ray I had at Urgent Care a month or so prior. He reviewed all and determined the PA at Urgent Care misdiagnosed my symptoms. He put me on correct meds and within a few days, I started feeling better. He told me to come back a few days later, but I had a commitment already at the time he suggested, so he told me to just come in when it's good for me and he would squeeze me in. What a fantastic doctor. Great bedside manner and very knowledgeable doctor. I highly recommend this wonderful doctor. I feel so much better.

In my first meeting with him he talked to me for almost an hour, way longer than I expected. At the tie of our appt. I already had a referral to go and see a GI doc, but thanks to his probing about my chronic GI issues he had the doc do two tests instead of the one that they had initially suggested. Thanks to his thorough discussion and ordering of additional tests they were able to finally figure out and treat an issue that I had been experiencing for years! I finally felt listened to as a patient. I found this refreshing and encouraging. My husband also sees him and I would recommend him to anyone in the North Shore network in or around the Chicago/Evanston/Skokie area. Nice office staff too!

In my opinion, his…read morelackadaisical approach to my healthcare combined with the staffs inefficiency and rudeness is not only a disservice to his patients, but may also put there health in serious jeopardy. Perscriptions requests from patients or pharmacies are often not addressed on a timely basis, but according to his office it's always the pharmacies fault. On a recent visit when I indicated I was having ongoing pain in my left knee the doctor told me it was a combination of old age and that i was doing too much yoga. A trip to Immediate Care led to a diagnosis of a torn miniscus. Prior to that the doctor ordered a CT scan. Proper paperwork was not filed with BCBS at that time. Now because he's changed practices, they cannot refile the claim, so I have to pay the bill. I would schedule his first appointment on Saturday to get in and out quickly, but he always ran at least 5 - 10 minutes late - no respect for others time.
