I truly don't have enough words to express my gratitude for Dr. Shashoua. He literally saved my…read morelife and has continued to go above and beyond for what has been a very complicated and emotional journey with stage 4 endometriosis and infertility. I first met Dr. Shashoua after a failed embryo transfer that left me septic, internally bleeding, and in critical condition. I was so sick that I didn't fully understand what was happening -- I was truly dying. Dr. Shashoua stepped in with the urgency, skill, and calm confidence that only an exceptional surgeon can bring. He performed the emergency operation that saved my life, and I will forever be grateful. After stabilizing me, he did something that shows how deeply he cares about his patients: he referred me to a far better fertility doctor because he knew I needed more specialized and attentive care than I had previously received. That referral changed everything for my fertility journey. A few months later, he performed my endometriosis excision surgery and removed my tubes. These were major, life-altering procedures, and he approached every decision with precision, empathy, and extraordinary expertise. I now see him regularly to monitor and manage my endometriosis and infertility, and he continues to provide the highest level of care. What sets him apart is how closely he works hand-in-hand with my fertility doctor, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is coordinated. My case is extremely complex and often overwhelming, but he has never once made me feel like a burden. He treats me with compassion, respect, and true dedication. If you have endometriosis, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or any complicated gynecologic or urologic condition, Dr. Shashoua is the doctor you want in your corner. He is an extraordinary surgeon, an exceptional physician, and someone who genuinely cares about his patients' lives and futures. I owe him mine.

I stand by what I said in my earlier review. He is a wonderful man who provides amazing care to his patients. He is thoughtful, respectful and listens. If you have pain, he will see too it that it is managed (quite important to me as I was passing that kidney stone). He will put your mind at ease. I can't say enough how happy I am with him and the level of care he has provided to me.

Nice MD practice for a group of urologists...this particular location being in Chicago Ridge. The…read moregroup of doctors rotate through this facility in conjunction with a number of other locations, such as West on 167th Street in Orland Park. So whomever you might be seeing, there are usually a number of places where you can set up an appointment. This is a busy practice location so there is a short wait at times, but the doctors and nurses who work here are very professional. I started with this practice in the 1980's in Oak Lawn and have followed them out to Chicago Ridge...one of these days I'll try their Orland Park office. If you need a urologist, these are good people.

I have a five year history of a horrible, chronic uro-gyne condition called I.C. - interstitial…read morecystitis, and another problem as well. It is very difficult to even diagnose this condition as it's diagnosed from exclusion of other diagnoses. My only past history was a uro-gyne I will not name, who was rude and made me cry, not compassionate, and led me down a path that gave me additional pain. She even scolded me once for asking questions before a procedure! I was very hesitant to even look up other uro-gynes in the area. I suffered a few years without help because I was so traumatized by her 'care'. A friend suggested Dr. Kenneth Finkelstein. I debated scheduling the appt for many months. I first met him in his Evergreen Park office in 2016. His medical assistant, Jennifer, is extremely nice and compassionate, professional, and thorough. We discussed my treatment plan for my condition. He prescribed one pill that helped me sleep through the night without 3-4+ excruciating bathroom breaks. I slept soundly again! Just this advice from him vastly improved my quality of life. Recently, I revisited him in E.P. for more help. I also had an ultrasound and testing done in their Mokena office - a short highway ride from Evergreen Park. The Mokena office is very modern, roomy, clean, and beautifully updated. I decided to go ahead with the treatment plan of pills, surgery in February 2017, and other changes to my life. I am now post-op and awaiting the additional results. But, I know deep down that he took care of me with great care and honesty, always answered my numerous questions even though I'm sure he had other pressing patients, and did his best for me. I abhor my conditions but I know Dr. Finkelstein is the right choice for any woman who needs help. Visits with him are comfortable, not awkward, and I leave feeling educated. I call him a "blessing" to women, and I never use that word. He is the only uro-gyne I'd recommend in the area - especially if you suffer from I.C. Don't go to your primary care Dr, go to him for your uro-gyne needs. I had a history of PCP recommendations and Rx's that never work have worked for my problem and wasted my time. He has a few videos so far on Youtube showing him being featured on Fox 32 news. Don't be scared to talk about it. Get help for your condition, believe me, you'll be glad you did.

I sat in the waiting room for 20 minutes ignored by the front office staff only to then be told I have to leave bc it's been more than 20 minutes and the nurse could no longer see me!! Mind you I was told to sign in and sit down. I was also sitting in their line of sight directly to the side. So I was refused service because the front staff weren't doing their job and were instead talking instead of checking me in. I didn't receive any follow-up calls with any attempts to make things right. This office is terrible!! Stay away.

I've found Dr. Elterman to be a very gentle soft spoken doctor who appreciates the vulnerability of dealing with urological issues which have a physical and emotional impact. His staff was nothing but friendly. They have a very busy practice and every time I've been there they've been working with a lot of patients. There are some comments here that take the team to task. My experience was nothing like that. I wonder if our complex, convoluted health insurance system creates frustration that gets misdirected at the people who have to navigate all the different systems in order for a medical practice to exist. As well, The Elterman center is staffed by mostly Russian language speakers so I also wonder how much of the reaction is affected by our American culture which has spent decades demonizing Russians in our movies and television creating a subconscious bias to hearing the accent as harsh and brusk. BTW - I was not paid to write this as some imply. Also, I waited until my condition was resolved before adding my two cents in order to get a complete experience. For what it's worth...
