I had average expectations for visiting this Dr. I've been to enough Drs offices to realize they're…read morejust as human as the next guy. What I do expect is professional courtesy. What I will definitely not tolerate is rudeness and eye-rolling when I ask a question. As a parent, I am an advocate for my baby's health. Expect questions. WARNING: Dr.'s are a dime-a-dozen. Save yourself the aggravation of dealing with rude, unprofessional people. I won't even get started on my experience w/ Carol who works the front desk. She actually asked me "what's your problem?!" And I was just asking her questions. When you're trying to wrap your head around an illness that your baby has, why would your professional response be like that? There are so many good Dr's out there. Find a group that actually treats you with professional kindness. Dr. Liszek et.al. is NOT THAT OFFICE!

After Dr. Salam-Khan left the country, I was medically bereft (that's a diagnosis I made up), and…read morewent to a couple physicians before settling on Dr. Foster. I'm crazy about her (not medically speaking). To date, she's been my primary physician for a little over two years. I love that she spends plenty of time. I don't so much like that I usually have to wait longer than my appointment time, but I factor that in when I have an appointment that's later in the day. If my appointment is first thing in the morning, there's no issue. For urgent appointments, I've sometimes gotten in with her, other times I've been given a visit with another physician from the same office, or Linda, her nurse practitioner (all are terrific). I love how she listens. She's excellent at giving advice, including on mental health issues. She doesn't try to be a therapist, but she's good about making sure my panic condition is under control, even when I'm there for regular old physical wear and tear issues. She calls me if I've seen one of her associates and there's some question about my health to be clarified, and she's great about getting test results either mailed or communicated to me via phone. I really love that she's a one-stop shop. She did a nice, thorough history/physical the first time I came in, and she does the annual well-woman exams. In summary, great care of my body and brain, and a downright sweetheart. Her staff members are also quite nice. Her practice partners are excellent.

1 Star is too High!…read more My regular physician wasn't available in this practice so I was offered to see Dr. Wendy Foster which I accepted. I can honestly say I have NEVER in all my years been treated that way in my entire life. She was down right confrontational and rude. If I hadn't had such positive experiences with the other physicians in her practice I'd find a new doctor ASAP. Yes, I will let my primary physician know next time I see her. Dr. Foster is definitely not helping their practice.

I thought about writing this review because I don't want her to be so busy that she doesn't have time for me. I suspect that she will manage well.

No matter the time or situation, whenever I called, Kira was there prompt, attentive, and fully committed to helping me. Her reliability and dedication gave me a sense of comfort and security during a very difficult time in my life. What sets Kira apart is not only her professionalism, but her genuine compassion. She didn't just do her job she cared. She made sure I was comfortable, supported, and never alone in moments when I needed reassurance the most. Kira represents the very best of what healthcare should be. Her kindness, responsiveness, and unwavering support deserve recognition and deep appreciation. I am truly thankful for everything she has done for me. Thank you, Kira, for your outstanding service and for the heart you bring to your work. You made a difference I will never forget. Samuel Adam

I want to be very honest with this review of Loyola University Medical Center…read more We arrived on Easter Sunday night after being transferred from another hospital, and I was truly grateful we made it. The ICU staff on the 2nd floor were exceptional--kind, professional, and attentive. They consistently checked on us and treated both patients and family with care and respect during a very difficult time. However, after a few days, we were moved to the 3rd floor, and the experience changed significantly. During overnight hours--around 2 AM--the environment has been surprisingly loud. I heard staff using profanity, watching videos or news on their phones at high volume, and openly complaining about long shifts. I understand healthcare is demanding, but this is a hospital setting, and patients (and their families) can hear everything. My relative is here receiving end-of-life care, so I stay overnight. At one point, a nurse questioned my presence rather abruptly before knowing the situation. To her credit, she apologized once she understood, but in moments like these, a little more compassion upfront goes a long way. One of the nurse was rude and jist keep using profanity and stated this is who she is. Wow, Loyola use to have professional nursing staff, what happened? I also noticed interactions where staff spoke to patients in a very casual, sometimes inappropriate tone. Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned, but professionalism matters--especially in a place where people are vulnerable, grieving, and trying to find peace. My takeaway: There is clearly a strong, compassionate team here--as seen in the ICU--but consistency matters. Professionalism, awareness, and respect should be maintained across all floors, especially during overnight hours. Hospitals should feel calm and supportive, not loud or chaotic. Patients and families deserve that--especially during life's most difficult moments. I will give a 4 star due to our first encounter here and the kindness nurses such as Nicole and Quand and Jordan. Very kind d and attentive. And I just heard 2 nurses use profanity to another nurse. I am sincerely flabbergasted that they speak like this so openly and there are patients present in their rooms. The level of unprofessionalism is amazing, and i am really saddened by this as this hospital was once top hospital. Being part of the joint commission will definitely reflect not only my review, but how I move forward. This is really upsetting me.
