I don't know many people that use Yelp to find a healthcare professional, but I will say in defense…read moreof Dr. Evans, he is the best primary care physician I've ever had. He is incredibly empathetic, and he has great bedside manner. He takes his time with his case history and his exam, and he also leaves plenty of time at the end for any questions or concerns that hadn't been addressed. He's only prescribed and ordered what I feel are necessary medications and lab tests, and he personally calls us with our blood work results. I have never had a doctor call me personally. So in summary if you're looking for a great PCP in the Park Ridge area, I would highly recommend Dr. Evans and please please disregard the negative review from several years ago.

I had gone to previously 3 other rheumatologists and my condition was getting worse with terrible flare ups. One of the things I noticed about Dr. Yongsuk on the first visit was that he gave a more through physical examination than the other 3 rheumatologists. Dr. Yongsuk changed my medications and the results were dramatic and I am now feeling great.

He did it. Not a nurse. He explained his medical philosophy and said that he doesn't have a nurse working with him because he feels he should get to know his patients himself.

Since it was my first visit, he did a comprehensive physical. After the physical, he sat with me for about 15 minutes and explained his philosophy, what I should expect from him and what he expects of me as a patient. He also answered all my medical questions about necessary tests, etc. I had a really positive experience and am happy to have found Dr. V. I plan to make Dr. V. my primary care doc."

Are you looking for an exceptional doctor? Do you live on the north side of the city?…read more I recently went to see Dr. Albert Pecherek because of flu like symptoms that lasted for a week. I was sick as a dog and my regular doctor had just retired. After calling around to a couple places, I found Milwaukee Avenue Medical Center near my office. When I called, the medical assistant was polite, spoke clearly and was happy to schedule me an appointment with Dr. Pecherek the next morning. One star. When I walked in to the place on Milwaukee Avenue, I immediately knew this was an excellent place. They have real, beautiful, lush green plants all over the waiting room and reception area (2 stars). The air smells perfect and the office was welcoming and exceptionally clean. Joanna took my name and I had a seat on one of the very comfortable couches to wait for the doctor. Now, having been to doctor offices in the past, I expected to wait at least 20 minutes.... I only had to wait two and Dr. Pecherek came out and personally greeted me (3 stars). He took my to the back exam room and was honestly the most pleasant, energetic and informative physician I have ever met. After a brief Q&A, he did the necessary tests and checking of my body. The whole time he was pleasant and answered all my questions. I really felt comfortable and at ease (4 stars). We talked a bit more, he swabbed my throat and took a little blood (with no discomfort). After we talked a bit more, he sent me on my way. The next day, Dr. Pecherek called me with my laboratory results (wow, fast, nice touch!) and discussed a couple options with me (5 stars). He then called in my prescription to Walgreens and I was on the road to recovery. Bottom line- Dr. Pecherek at Milwaukee Avenue Medical Center is an excellent physician, knowledgeable with a hard-to-find bedside manner. I highly recommend him.
