The 2022 surgery he chose ended in a catastrophic failure that left me disabled to defecate which caused me to have a colostomy for pain relief. He denied any wrong doing and not only refused to remedy the problem but lied about the results and dismissed me as a patient. Another surgery with a different surgeon, who had to cut my abdomen open agreed that Dr Ondrula's surgery was a failure, removed his surgery still with cancer in it even after chemo and radiation. The sample is preserved with the University of Chicago Medical.

I went to see Dr. Seeds for a hip/groin issue. He did some examination and prescribed some physical…read moretherapy, which proved somewhat helpful. Standard protocol, really. However, I take exception to his belief that he knows everything, including things that are outside his scope of expertise. As he was examining my hip, I mentioned how my chiropractor had told me that my pectineus muscle seemed to be the issue. Dr. Seeds responded by telling me how the chiropractor was blowing smoke up my ass, as the muscle is very deep and internal and impossible to examine/diagnose without some type of scan or opening me up. The PT that Dr. Seeds prescribed helped somewhat, but did not completely resolve my hip issue/pain. Still in some pain, I later sought out another doctor, who examined my hip with ultrasound. Lo and behold: my pectineus had quite a bit of damage in the form of non-thickness tears, corroborating the chiropractor's diagnosis. Turns out the snake oil salesman of a chiropractor could do what Dr. Seeds said was impossible. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that Dr. Seeds was wrong about what is possible because he doesn't know anything about chiropractic treatment/care/abilities. When seeing Dr. Seeds, my advice would be to trust him in anything regarding his specialty, but whenever he steps out of his lane take it with a grain of salt, as he seems to feel that the depth of his knowledge in his expertise allows him to make assertions about things outside of his expertise.

I chose Dr. Madry for a tummy tuck in November 2024 to address the excess abdominal skin left after…read morehaving two very large babies. At our initial consultation on June 12, he was polite but seemed rushed and didn't spend much time discussing details. Still, he offered to perform the procedure at a reasonable price, so I decided to move forward. The surgery itself went smoothly, but recovery was incredibly painful. I couldn't stand upright for weeks. By January, I noticed swelling in my upper abdomen, which I initially assumed was just part of the healing process. Unfortunately, the bulge continued to grow rapidly, and I knew something wasn't right. I called Dr. Madry's office and was told he was leaving the country and wouldn't be available for another two weeks. At that point, the swelling was about the size of a lemon and getting bigger every day. When I expressed my concern, I was shocked by how I was treated. The office staff was dismissive, defensive, and even blamed me for not coming in sooner. Dr. Madry later called me from overseas and also made me feel shamed and at fault. They referred me to another surgeon at Good Shepherd who was covering for him, but I was told he wouldn't be able to see me for another week. Meanwhile, the bulge had grown to the size of a grapefruit. After some research, I realized I was likely dealing with a seroma--a fluid-filled pocket left behind after surgery. As a professional photographer, this growing mass made it extremely difficult to work. In desperation, I contacted my previous surgeon in Chicago, Dr. Michael Lee, who drained a significant amount of fluid from the area. I continued to see him for repeat aspirations--about ten times--until it became clear that this was not sustainable financially or logistically. Emotionally drained and hesitant to return to Dr. Madry after my experience, I resorted to draining it myself every few days. It's a painful and risky process, involving sterilizing the area and inserting a four-inch needle into my abdomen. Dr. Lee has now advised that I'll need another surgery to permanently resolve the seroma. It will cost $5,000 and require two weeks off work. I've had over ten surgeries in my life and never had any issues--until now. This has been my worst medical experience. Not only is the seroma still present, but the incision from the tummy tuck is large and poorly done. I also continue to have significant swelling that gives the appearance of a pot belly--on top of the seroma in my upper abdomen. Looking back, I deeply regret not investing in a more experienced and compassionate surgeon. I wish I had paid more for someone who would've treated me with care and delivered better results. This has been emotionally, physically, and financially devastating.

I can't begin to offer enough praise for Dr. Palmer. He replaced my hip ten days ago and other than…read moremy amazement at the performance of, and result achieved by, Dr. Palmer and his extraordinary team, it was a non-event. I don't think hip replacement can be any better that that...unless it can also be pain free...and mine was that also. To very briefly summarize my experience, I hobbled in with pretty severe pain in the morning and walked out with a new hip, the aid of a walker and NO pain by late afternoon. The walker was gone the next day and the cane a few days later. Throughout, what "pain" I've experienced is no more than a few physical therapy induced muscle aches as my body relearns how to move. Hip replacement techniques have advanced greatly in recent years. Dr. Palmer and The Hip and Knee Center are among the pioneers and leaders in the evolution of one very significant improvement called the "anterior approach". My research leading up to surgery indicated that this method offered so many benefits that it was really the only way to go. The result of my surgery proved that my assumption was correct and that Dr. Palmer's skills in the technique are unsurpassed. Beyond the successful result, Dr. Palmer's entire team deserves compliments. Everyone involved, including Dr. Palmer, his staff, colleagues and support facilities and services (in my case, this included Valley Ambulatory Surgery Center and Valley Medical Inn), are clearly patient centered, exuding a very comforting, quiet confidence in their ability and a sincere desire to provide the patient with the best of care along with a minimum of stress and pain. Across the board, all of these people seem to function in that rare place where extraordinary is the minimum expected norm. I sincerely thank all of them.

Bone cracking good time!…read more Ok. I must admit, I was hesitant when I was told of the benefits of chiropractic work on my back pain. The idea in our society that we can feel better without any medication or pain killers seemed far fetched. I have dealt with back pain and severe chest pain for over a year and had gone to multiple doctors and been on a few different concoctions from the pharmacy with only brief relief, then it was back. It seemed hopeless. I came across Chirofit while enjoying the Long Grove Apple festival. They were giving free massages and after lots of walking, that sounded fantastic. They requested some info then started asking about aches and pains. When I let them know what was up, they offered me a risk free consultation, so I figured me what do I have to lose? When I showed up for the consultation, the entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. I met with Dr. Morgan and we began to discuss my case. After a series of tests, we set up a game plan to correct some back problems. After just a few treatments consisting of adjustments and exercises, my back pain all but disappeared and my chest pains we're minimized. It feels great to be pain free. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of some drug free pain relief. Dr. Morgan is very professional and she cares about the patient, and for that, I will keep on coming.

Have seen chiro's for years but mine decided to move out of state. As a professional healthcare worker for 30+ years all I can say is the owner- "Dr. Dave"- is arrogant without any appropriate people skills.

Dr. Dave- the owner came out and was very belittling "I dont know if you met your deductible...i end up chasing people around for money." This was totally unnecessary- bad taste at first visit. Good PR would be- "don't worry about it- we'll see you next week and take care of it." So i called back from the parking lot and cancelled my next visit and massage- will not be going back. Yes, may people have left such positive reviews- perhaps the owner is overly confident and may likely struggle with serious sustainability issues in the future.. There are plenty of chiros around!!. Will never be back here and will share my experience with many healthcare providers in the area I am friends with.
