Doctor Szpindor is the best doctor I have ever been to. She helped me to learn how to treat my condition and find supplements and medicine that made a very effective treatment. She takes time to explain things thoroughly and not rush you out the door. She also suggested many useful articles to read. My health greatly improved by listening to her advice. The office staff is also pleasant and helpful. read more

I'm surprised to see any negative reviews. Dr. Anne in my opinion is one of the best doctors I've ever gone to in my life. As someone with autoimmune issues, under her care, she greatly improved the quality of my life. She's very direct in her approach, which might be a turnoff for some people, but she was right on target with my medical issues and care. read more

She was just very catty and mean. Plus she tried to sell useless supplements. She talked over me constantly and was extremely condescending. She also tries to sell a lot of woo. Kinda like Dr. Oz, maybe she was once legit, but went rogue for $$$. read more

I found her to be judgmental and condescending. Not only that, but she would talk to me about my medical tests with the exam room door open for anyone to hear. I had to ask her to close the door. After getting one of my skin tests, there was some blood around the injection site. I had to ask her to clean that off. Why should I have to ask a doctor to respect my privacy and to be observant and clean an affected area? read more

This doctor tried to schedule a series of unnecessary appointments, refused to run my insurance, refused to release my medical records (HIPAA violation), and even tried to collect a cash deposit for treatment without running my insurance. Unreal. There are so many better options nearby, go somewhere else. read more

I had my first visit at Dr. Anne Szpindors office a few months ago. I had patch testing and allergy testing. My brother did as well. We discovered we had allergies to certain metals and glues in clothing that we would have never know about otherwise. Dr. Anne explained the reasons for my brothers never ending acne and smelly shoes and it came from his reactions to the glues. He now is doing a lot better, I would have never guessed! Dr. Anne goes into nutrition and sits down seriously with you to go over any and all concerns you may have. It's much more than just an allergy clinic, very few doctors take their time to explore and look at all types of treatment whether prescription or diet or lifestyle. Very professional experience! Wish more doctors were like her and her staff! (Also speak Polish in case anyone needs that). read more

Don't let the previous reviewer sway you. While the office really could use a refresh and remodel, and the seats in the waiting room aren't the most comfortable (this coming from someone who works with architects and interior designers), it is clean and pleasant enough. But I don't go to the Dr. to sit in a pretty waiting room...I go to get medical attention. I've been going to her for the past 3 or 4 years and get weekly allergy shots. I've had asthma and allergies almost all my life and have been on inhaled steroids for at least the past decade. While I've been under her care I've gone from 2 types of inhalers, prescription pills and over the counter medications every day to an occasional over the counter medication or puff on my inhaler. I get fewer migraines, sleep better and overall feel much healthier. She always spends a good chunk of time with me and has made many good suggestions for ways to support the medical treatment I'm getting, such as environmental changes, diet and supplements. This advice is tailored to me based on what I tell her and very helpful. Few doctors I've had take as much time to check in with me about my overall health and well being, her holistic approach to managing allergies has made a huge difference to me. As I said, I get weekly injections at this office. I go on my work lunch break and most weeks I am generally in and out in about 45 minutes, including the 20 minutes you wait after getting the injection to check your reaction and the time it takes to walk to and from the office. I have occasionally waited longer for a doctor's appointment with her. I find her wait times to be comparable to other doctors I have and a lot shorter than some specialists I have seen. But even if the wait times were longer, she'd still be a great doctor. read more

I was a patient of Dr Anne Szpindor for over 2.5 years when her office was in the old Littons building on Lake & Forest. Through testing & a multitude of weekly, biweekly, & monthly injections, I no longer suffer with sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, sinus infections, coughing, & asthmatic problems due to my allergies. (My more common allergies: molds, pollen, dust, & dogs.) I've recommended Dr Anne to many of my friends & neighbors. She is the 3rd allergist I've worked through the years & the first one where I finally got relief from my allergy symptoms! read more

I had major career-ruining headaches and did not sleep well often. Dr Szpindor put me through the full set of allergy tests, and I found out what I was allergic to. This has helped me reduce the number of headaches and also sleep much better. I had been to a number of doctors of all varieties to determine the cause of the headaches. Dr Szpindor is more of a natural physician and very knowledgeable about a series of symptoms. She also advised me for dry eyes. read more

Wow. Two really awful visits to this doctor and I will never return. At both visits, we were ignored at the front desk, rudly treated by the nurse, then led into an exam room where we we sat, completely ignored and with no communication, for over 35 minutes. At both visits! This complete disrespect for my time allowed for detailed observation of the filthy worn carpets, peeling wallpaper and cracked and stained upholstery ---unacceptable for a train station, let alone a physicians office. When Dr. Szpindor finally sauntered in, no apology, I found her to be vacant, repetitive and contradictory all in the course of a 15 minute exam. She recommended that I give my 4 year old "raw" eggs to see if it would trigger an allergic reaction! When I questioned her, she quickly back-peddaled, saying "well, lightly scrambled" . Big difference, doctor. Big difference. She clearly wants everyone to be highly allergic to everything, and only showed interest or passion about her subject when describing how my child's allergies were likely to worsen over time. We've since taken our test results to a different allergist who was prompt, attentive, listened closely and offered practical and positive advice toward maintaining my child's health and well being. If you are in seek of a competent allergist, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

OMG! This place is Scary!!! Also I just read a yelp from 6 years ago and it sounds just like the experience we had today. We were there for over 2 hours and I didn't see another patient the whole time we were there. She asked if my daughter was allergic to raw eggs and I said "I wouldn't know because I would never serve my children raw eggs." She then preceded to tell me that raw eggs are in everything, including lemonade. My daughter was there for food allergies and one thing she was insistent on was seeing her belly button WTH! She also told me that I should have my daughter tested for dyslexia and ADD, not ADHD because girls don't have ADHD. Not sure what this has to do with her food allergies. I could go on and on with all the crazy stuff that went on. I just don't even know what else to say except avoid at all costs. I am still shaking my head. Just don't even know what to say except stay away! read more

This doctor is excellent. I have visited doctor after doctor of different types trying to find a solution for my health issues, and Dr Szpindor has got me better again. Allergies can be a huge problem, causing multiple ailments for me. I had so many allergy issues that going on a food elimination diet wouldn't work since I still had problems. Dr Szpindor is very wholistic and very knowledgeable. I found both her offices very pleasant, with wonderful staff. Nice job! read more
