Dr Yu-Fleming is thorough, kind and to the point. She saved my life by being thorough during a pre-surgical review finding a stage 4 cancer and getting me into treatment. I had no symptoms but she said, you really need to have a chest xray. She was also very helpful with a difficult family member who is very high strung. She saw this right away and suggested some medicine to try to help bring his motions back in line without us asking for it. Makes a world of difference. Thank you read more

I needed a new Primary Care Physician since my Insurance changed and I could no longer use my trusted PCP in Illinois. Due to Obamacare I am on state insurance temporarily and I needed a local PCP since I had Neurosurgery 10 days earlier. Being on this Insurance can create and automatic stigma that often causes issues between physician and patient. Rest assured, I pay my portion of this state insurance. Anyway, I went for the visit and was placed in a exam room. A minute or two goes by and the door opens and the doctor begins asking questions from the hallway regarding medical records no one asked me to bring, "as if I was a bother and should have known better". Basically I was grilled for the whole visit and I could not believe how rude and argumentative this physician was. At one point I thought about walking out but I decided to wait and see how nasty she would get. Working in the Surgical Setting I see real world class physicians who treat patients with care and respect, recognizing that patients often refer other patients. This doctor failed to see that this meeting today was for me to see if I wanted to move forward in the relationship as caregiver and patient. I don't want a Physician who floats across the floor. I want to be involved in my own care, I want the physician to listen, and I want the physician to be respectful. Dr. Yu-Fleming needs to step back and watch if she cannot interact as a physician should. She created the very opposite of how how I see my physician and has lost me as a patient. I will not use Porter Hospital or its physicians until I am given a written apology. In any event I will no longer see Dr. Candice Yu-Fleming. I will not refer friends or family to this provider. I already have a mother in law. Spot taken read more
