Personally, I think it was the best thing that ever happened to them. My parents are older and have had their fair share of health crises over the years - cancer, staph, pneumonia, asthma you name it - and Dr. Kelly has always treated them right. My mom, suffers from severe asthma, and often has respiratory-related scares. Dr. Kelly has been fabulous at squeezing her in for a quick check rather than unloading her on the nearest ER. Dr. Kelly earns a fifth star from me for going above and beyond the call of duty. She makes house calls, you heard me, house calls! My dad had a knee replacement a few years back and was working with his physical therapist to get back on track; Dr. Kelly decided he wasn't progressing enough and could benefit from more therapy. Instead of offloading these increased sessions on the therapist she came to their house and worked with my dad. It was amazing and so appreciated by my mom since getting my dad out in the middle of winter while he was unsteady on his feet was not only a chore, but very anxiety ridden. I think now enough time has passed that he'll admit how beneficial this was to his recovery. At the time he winced at the thought, she's a tough cookie and really made him work. Bottom line: Dr. Kelly is amazing! My parents can't say enough good things about her and trust me, my dad is a tough customer, he won't sing the praises of just anyone. Even though I live relatively close, knowing that she's treating them puts my mind at ease, she really seems to care about her patients and get them the best care possible.

Dr Scola has been my primary physician for 10 years, as of this year. She is one of the most…read moreamazing, caring, and respectful Dr's I have seen. I am comfortable discussing any issues with her, and she is always very thoughtful in how she responds, and if she promises a call back, I get one. She asks questions to be sure she understands things better than I might be explaining it, and is capable of giving you a serious talk without you feeling scolded. If I communicate an immediate need to see her, I quite often get in that same day, but have never had to wait more than 24 hours. I can't say enough good things about her!

I was in need of a new general physician, and was referred to Dr. Scola, and I have been very…read morepleased with both her and Chicago Lake Shore Medical Associates. Dr. Scola was very thorough with me for my first physical, getting a complete history. They were willing to reach out to my previous physician to get my medical records, but I already had them with me - nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised that they would do it for me. Dr. Scola was very pleasant, and I never felt as though she was rushing through our appointment - which doesn't often seem to be the case these days. She listened to the questions and concerns I had during my appointment, and made sure I was comfortable with what she was telling me. I have also been pleased with Chicago Lake Shore Medical Associates as a whole. I recently called for a last minute appointment for a sinus infection. Dr. Scola was out of the office, but they were able to get me in with another one of their G.P.'s instead. It's nice to know I can get an appointment when I need one.

This is a rare Saturday I have off and that's why I booked this appointment with this doctor. I think it is highly unprofessional that the receptionist is late or didn't call me to tell me the appointment was cancelled. I don't necessarily live next door to this office. This is just unprofessional. At my dental job, I would arrive 30 minutes earlier to prep and let the patient in. They should be able to do the same. So I left a voice message saying I would wait for another 10 minutes. If they weren't here I would leave. They opened and I went in and I told her which doctor I came in to see and she told me he doesn't come in the morning. I asked her why that time would be an option on ZocDoc. She said that she or the doctor doesn't have the ability to control the appointments. How do you not have the ability to control your appointment times? Also, if you knew that was a problem from before you should have take actions to correct it. At least, call me when you see it on your appointment book that he comes in the afternoon only. This organization is such a failure if it can't handle the administrative side of the business.

I read the reviews for him and was nervous, because they weren't very good. Though I have plenty of negative things to say about the unprofessional & disorganized desk staff and Nurse Pam who made me feel rushed and made a few slightly rude comments, Dr. Blumethal was really great. I had to wait a while for him to be freed up, but we met in his office and he was pretty matter of fact about the info he needed to obtain, and made sure to ask if I had any questions before I went into the exam room (which did look a little dirty and unorganized). A short wait again after I was undressed, maybe 5 minutes, until he came in. I was a little nervous, as it had been a looong time since my last gyne visit, but he was very approachable and took my mind off the uncomfortable parts of the exam by talking. He again made sure to ask if I had any questions and was thorough in explaining what to expect from future visits and how often I would need to come in. I'd never had a male gyne Dr. before, but was very comfortable with him.

I usually prefer female doctors, but I've never once felt uncomfortable or awkward with Dr. B. I like that he makes genuine conversation while the exam is going on - it takes your mind off of what's actually going on down there. I've also had only pleasant experiences with the staff in the office, which is nice as I am generally less than thrilled to be there. The new office at 200 S. Michigan Ave is convenient and really nice inside. Overall, a good find!
