Was referred to the General Surgery department at Christie Clinic for issues with my gallbladder…read more It was here that I first met with Dr. Ruggieri. My experience, from initial appointment through my follow-up surgery appointment was extremely positive. I found Dr. Ruggieri to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough. He explained what would happen at each step and my surgery and recovery was a breeze. We are lucky to have him in our community!

I had my sigmoid colon removed for diverticulitis and had to go in for a breast biopsy 5 months later...With both scary situations, Dr. Ruggieri spent time walking through my conditions and explaining his recommended surgical solutions to my husband and I. He is truly the best! I am thankful for Dr. Ruggieri... I have never felt better!

It's been a few years since my cosmetic surgery, so I finally feel I can talk abotu it…read more I originally went to another cosmetic surgery place in champaign, but checked out Dr. Castillo's office as well. If I remember correctly, Dr. Castillo was a little bit less expensive, so I went with him. I should have known better, because when I was looking through some beofre and after photos, he came into the room and was quite blunt that I didn't need to be looking some of the pictures ( of procedures I was not having). His bedside manner turned me off... should have been a clue. I had really droopy eyelids, so when he came in to the pre-op room and draw on my eyelids ( I guess to see where he had to operate), he had me clse my eyes, but I took it upon myself to raise my lids, thinking THAT would insure he took enough eyelid skin off. When I woke up from the surgery, I hurt! Drains behind my ears, etc. But the worst thing is that my eyelid on my right eye sticks to my eye. I sometimes have to take my finger and raise my eyelid just to get it detached from my eye. And that eye burns a lot! My eyes are no longer symmetrical. ONe is rounder than the other. You would think a surgeon would have noticed that I did not have my eyes closed correctly when he was marking them up. Yes, it is my fault for doing that, but there's a little bit of responsibility on the surgeon's part, too, wouldn't you think? I also have a very visible scar across my hairline. They had told me about it, but I didnt think it would be a big deal. Well, THAT is until your hair turns white and thins out..... NOW it is extremely visible. I certainly wish I would have stayed with my first surgeon. At least he seemed to be a lot more caring, and I am almost sure I would have had better results. This guy is not worthy of even ONE star!

I had a simple procedure done over twelve years ago by Dr. Castillo and it was the worse experience…read moreever. Dr. Castillo was curt, insensitive and arrogant and did a terrible job. Not only did he not fix my little problem but he created a bigger problem! My mistake was believing in him and confusing his rudeness with competence. Please be careful and cautious. Do your research and get second opinions. I wish I would have!

Dr Reese came highly recommended from some coworkers of mine, I checked her reviews and after…read moremeeting her she exceeding my expectations. I can tell she is very knowledgable and in high demand! I had a very complicated pregnancy and she held my hand every step of the way. The practice has 5 doctors and they want you to meet them all so you know them very well but towards the end if you have a specific request when you do your birth plan they try to have that doctor deliver you. These doctors work very hard delivering babies, doing surgeries, some nights they don't sleep so I know it must be hard for them..but THEY ALL were caring and compassionate so in the end I didn't have a preference. Dr Reese delivered my little girl, ensured my family was there and even helped me take really cute pictures, she didn't cut me and I didn't tear!! It was such a beautiful experience!! I'll have these memories for a life time...going through the pregnancy was rough and hormonal and scary and I was afraid to do it again...but now I'm back to see them ;) I would encourage you Lillibeth to give them another try it sounds like a lot of miscommunication ...I have been in Coral Springs for 15yrs, your not going to find another practice like them and get all the attention and care you need unless you probably go to see a doctor that is solo ... And even a doctor that is solo may not deliver you because it's impossible for them to be oncall 365 nights a year...these other practices have other doctors covering for them so when it's time for you to deliver...a complete stranger is delivering your baby...Good luck!!

The only reason I'm not rating lower is because the ladies at the front desk and the Physicians…read moreAssistant are extremely nice and helpful. I thought I liked Dr. Trupin. I liked how she didn't do small talk and got to the point. However, that changed today. I went in for fertility treatments. When 3 rounds of Clomid didn't work, we were gonna do an SIS test. Well I was sitting on the exam table and then was told that Dr Trupin was refusing to see me if I could not pay my full bill up front. I only owe 800 and have been paying 200 on it monthly, so this wasn't a matter of me not paying. I was told this is not their usual procedure and they didn't know why she was throwing a fit. Apparently this is something new she has started and won't see anyone for fertility unless their whole bill is paid off. She is literally holding my fertility hostage, even when I have been paying my bill. She is a money hungry jerk that I refuse to see anymore. Please do yourself a favor, and go literally anywhere else if you're looking for fertility help. She puts up a facade of helpfulness, only to dash it all down when you're at your lowest. As if being infertile wasn't enough....

I had an appointment as a new patient for a OBGYN visit. However, my schedule changed and due to an…read moreupcoming business trip I had to change the appointment. When I called the office to reschedule the agent told me there is no appointment available. I tried to clarify with her hat stattement, is there any thing availbe in the next few months? and she replied with the same answer: there is no appointment available at all. - If this office does not want to take new patient they could say so. Saying there is no appointment available at all is not helpful and is a waste of time for everyone.

I used McKinley a lot while I was a student…read more First, let me point out that it is not, as another reviewer put it, free. McKinley actually charges a fee, which is added to your school bill. It's not too much, about 300 or so dollars per semester. This is in addition to the health insurance fee charged by the university. That being said, $300 for 4 months is still a very good deal. The reason most students feel that the service is poor or that the wait times are long is that most of them do go when they're sick... which is flu season. So of course if everyone's there at the same time, there's going to be long wait times -- especially if you don't make an appointment, which most students do not. And 90% of the students who show up either have the common cold or food poisoning. There's not that much a doctor can do about those, except tell you that it'll heal with time and maybe give you a pill to make you feel better. Anyway, if you take out the long wait times during flu season, I think the service is actually pretty good for a college health center.

My freshman son has been sick for a week, just visited McKinley for the second time in a week…read more First visit they gave him cough drops. Second visit today, He went directly to West Clinic they gave his appointment away because they said he didn't check in downstairs. They Did not even ask him any of his symptoms or how he was feeling. Total incompetence. I drove down to Champaign this morning to bring him home to see a real doctor. He had scheduled an 11 am appointment at McKinley so we went. I was actually there to see what type of care they would provide. Typical state employees that just don't give a shit. He had a 103 fever and suffered a seizure. Brought him to ER in Park Ridge they immediately took his temperature and gave him something to lower fever at check in. ***Updated 3 hours later, he also tested positive for strep. What kind of clinic does take temperature or test for strep?

Celiacs and gluten intolerant beware...this GI knows next to nothing about Celiac Disease…read more Additionally, she is full of misinformation and bad advice. When I saw her, she told me that I have "mild" Celiac Disease. Actually, I found out later from more competent doctors in Chicago that I have quite a serious case of it. Besides, it's a condition you either have or you don't. It's like saying that you are "mildly" pregnant. Second, and this really ticked me off, she said that the local CU Celiac group was "paranoid." Paranoid for a good reason, I would say! What business does someone like she (who obviously doesn't have CD and has no idea what we go through) make such a degrading statement? She told me that I "might" benefit from the gluten free diet. WTH? Any doctor, even those who aren't doctors know that this is the only way to deal with this disease, as there is no cure as of today. Furthermore, I told her that I was concerned that I was not eating enough nutrient-rich fibers and that I wanted to make sure that I wasn't just eating cornstarch, potato starch and rice flour, all of which have very little nutritional value. I said I thought I should eat more nutrient-rich fibers like quinoa, amaranth, millet, etc. She said there was no difference in the nutrient content between these fibers and the starches!! Apparently she doesn't even know basic nutrition, Lastly, I told her that I was concerned about gaining weight once I started healing, a common occurance with healing Celiacs. She said there was no way I would gain any weight. Totally untrue! Although some people may not gain weight (or even lose it), it's a common side effect of the GF diet, as the gut starts to properly absorb nutrients again. I cannot recommend anyone in this town for help with Celiac Disease, at least no one that I have seen. I personally go up to the Chicago Celiac Center for help with this issue.

I'm not sure how I was referred to the Mettler Center after a serious wrist fracture, but however…read moreit happened, I can assuredly say: Mettler Therapy is as good as it gets. After a broken wrist injury, Jeff Schroder spent countless hours rehabilitating and strengthening my entire arm - which had not only atrophied due to the immobilization during healing, but was also laced with scar tissue. That was back in 2002. Almost 10 years later my wrist still has FULL RANGE OF MOTION. I have honestly not had one single recurring pain after completing my detailed PT program at the Mettler Center, and owe it all to the talents of the founder and his team of therapists, and the brilliant Mettler Release Technique. Pain free full range of motion is important to anyone who has experienced an injury, but as a piano player, it is even more so! Jeff, you probably don't remember me, but I will always remember you for your dedication and honest concern for my well being, and for helping to restore my wrist to as good as new condition! Many thanks!
