Dr. Mehta in 2015 attributed a long-standing problem to an eating disorder dating back to high school. I was 56 with very severe constipation that had been going on for years. I happened to see my chart with his note referring to my problem as psychological. I recently went to ER for a bowel obstruction. Multiple tests were performed indicating a nonfunctional colon due to its size and tortuousness. Not because of laxative use, an eating disorder, nor psychological issues. Simply because I was born with it. Had Dr. Mehta been more dedicated to solving my problem and less inclined to label "an hysterical woman," perhaps I would have enjoyed more quality of life these past several years... glad I have finally been seen by a doctor who is interested in helping me.

Dr. Ryan Harold was my surgeon and I was very happy with his work as well as his general demeanor, manners, and professionalism. He even let me have my music of choice from their Pandora app in the operating room, and he did the surgery to ACDC, yeah! The receptionist and all of the physician assistants and nurses I encountered were friendly, competent, and professional. It might not appear so from the exterior of their big building, but the operating area of this practice is pretty much a hospital setting, and it's a large and busy one. Before the surgery, all of the required forms and health surveys were sent out on a timely and clear basis via both text messaging and email. I was also notified before the surgery date of my expected post insurance bill. I was impressed and pleased with my experience here, and thank you!

Less than 48 hours returning from our month-long trip to Asia, I ended up spraining my ankle from a…read morefall off a sidewalk ledge onto uneven street pavement. The feeling was all too familiar as I had sprained my ankle over a decade ago on NYE. For the first few days I figured I would be fine and tough it out on my own. I eventually came to Endeavor Health/NorthShore hospital in Skokie and visited their Ortho Immediate Care unit. I wanted to make sure it was just a sprain and nothing more. I arrived as a walk-in on a weeknight sans appointment and met with Dr. McCracken soon after checking in. He ordered an x-ray and within minutes after the x-ray, he was able to read and go over the results with me. Thankfully he found no visible breaks in bone, wrote up a doctors note for work and placed me on an ankle brace for a couple of weeks until my ankle fully healed. It's been a month since my injury and I'm happy to report that I am near to full function! I'm able to walk with no issue and have made progress. I've started to go back to the gym with the hopes that in a few weeks I'll be run ready. I'm so glad the Endeavor Health/NorthShore Immediate Care Ortho facility saw me during a weeknight. There's not many Ortho Immediate Care facilities I'm aware of and with this location less than 20 minutes away, this was super convenient.

I am a 65-year-old surgeon who is 3 days post a Right TKR - total knee replacement by Dr. Raju…read moreGhate. He performed a minimal incision quad sparing TKR: and aligned my severe varus (bowlegged) in a little over 1 hour! The 1st 3 days have been off the charts amazing: 0 pain (I keep expecting it to hit me but not yet 3 DAYS out!). I was walking normally NORMALLY! from the first night. I honestly God is my witness (it's on Video for a few steps) can walk without the walker but I only did that once for a few steps. Some observations: Dr. Ghate is a truly gifted amazing surgeon in my humble opinion one of the best anywhere. I "prehabbed" for 4 mos out of fear including PT doing exercises I would need to do afterwards and other leg strengthening exercises I highly recommend be done beforehand. I can fully FULLY straighten my leg AND bend it out to 90 degrees already day 1. I have been taking 25 mg CBD non THC hemp oil based on a study of TKR patients in England where it dramatically reduced postop use opiode use. (I use a nanomicellar version from Cannibis Animus and you don't get any high - it's 0.3% THC). I'm eating clean no sugar other than what's in tart jerry juice I add a lot to every drink; protein supplementation 40 g a day to a high protein lean diet + going crazy on green leafy vegetables (my wife makes them into a bone broth soup). I take gabapentin (Neurotin) and the lowest dose (25 mg) of a new generation opioid called Nucynta which barely has any noticeable side effects on me 25 mg 3 times a day - a super low dose! A truly great surgeon surrounds himself with a great team. From every aspect the entire team with Dr. Ghate works like magic with incredible precision, like clockwork. Shout out to his nurses Heidi and Amy always returning my calls. I had a fantastic anesthesiologist - Dr. Eddie Yastrow who gave me a spinal with IV sedation. I blinked and 2 hrs later woke clear headed, just a little sleepy! Shout out to Jackie, an awesome nurse, Karlynn, Anju, Kyoung, Brian from PT and Allison from Dr. Ghates / the Northshore Skokie Hospital pain team - they really watch over you and monitor for pain several times a day! I have a private room - they all are apparently, and they watch over me like a hawk with great responsiveness to any call outs for assistance. Which reminds me - tart cherry juice, veggie soup, CBD oil and low dose Nucynta not only may have helped my initial recovery, it had me hitting the jackpot as a master "waste eliminator" every single day. I am sure I will have some postoperative discomfort but let's face it I have a new knee! It's perfectly straight and it was bowlegged with a lot of arthritis and no joint space only scar tissue that had to be dissected away before he could realign the knee - it was not an easy case. Now I look down at my legs and the right knee so is perfectly aligned over my foot (unlike the left I will need done) . I did a lot of research before I had this procedure. I talked to nurses in the OR. I interviewed a number of patients Dr. Ghate treated ( about half the people with TKR's it seems I ran into) -?from my perspective as a pretty busy surgeon myself (Lasik) Dr. Ghate is the real deal: a world class talented TKR orthopedic surgeon trained in the most advanced minimal incision TKR techniques. Not every patient can expect to have the same results, and every case is different. There are risks no matter how great the surgeon. Some cases have to be general anesthesia, some open procedures with large incisions for best exposure etc. not minimal incision. Full disclaimer - this is about my research, my experience and my observations as a surgeon who knows something about being in the presence of a world class gifted surgeon: thank you God for Dr. Ghate! He is a blessed brilliant TKR orthopedic master surgeon with a world class Cracker Jack team. This surgery is already for me LIFE ALTERING! My apologies to those who helped me whose names have escaped me. Dr. Ghate did not in any way seek out my review nor did anyone on on his team. I AM WALKING NORMALLY PAIN FREE DAY 1-2-3. Took a 10 min jaunt with my wife using my walker no limp no shuffle, didn't even need the walker just an abundance of caution. Dr. Ghate does not need my 5 Star review - he has extensive real life recognition and a well deserved great reputation - he is recognized throughout Chicago as one of the best at his craft. I am extremely thankful, happy, and pinching myself as this recovery defies all expectations that has me and my entire family in awe - a simply miraculous start. I will try and follow up with a you tube video where I can show my normal pain free relaxed walk the first day after my procedure!

My experience was the polar opposite of the negative posts. The office is incredibly organized. I noticed a large, coordinated team at the front desk where some may have been brought in from other locations to ensure everything runs smoothly. It's obvious they've stepped up their service and fixed most of the issue from the past. They have high end eye testing machines that test everything about your eye to assist in selecting a handful of lenses with the final pick by the doctor. Dr. Spektor has been absolutely terrific. There are many doctors in the office that do great work as well. One tip for future patients: come prepared! This office is thorough. You'll work with a specialist for upfront testing to provide the doctor with the best data possible. I think some past reviewers weren't prepared for that level of detail, but if you do your part and provide your background info, the care is top-notch. Come in with a handful of quality questions. Please note that you may need to wait since there are many people that do to the office. You will see the doctors are working hard and not just waiting around. I am highly satisfied with my results so far. If you want a professional, clean, and quality care, ignore the old noise and book an appointment here!
