The cardiology patients are in very good hands and will be very lucky to have Dr. Francisco as their physician!

Check-in is always a breeze, the nurses and assistants are always friendly, the overall feel of the place is professional and clean, and I've never had any billing issues. They're also patient and kind indulging my nerves when I'm getting blood drawn and getting vaccinated! I've seen a few doctors here and have always had great care. My primary care physician is Dr. Jessica Kennedy and I can't say enough positive things about her. She's knowledgeable, listens carefully to my concerns, and either has the answer or refers me to an excellent specialist. I'm also very happy with Dr. Mark Romanelli, a dermatologist who does annual skin exams and recommends great products to ensure healthy skin. I've also had positive experiences with the other doctors I've seen at this location, like Dr. Vasiloff, who I saw once at short notice when I wasn't feeling well. It's important to find a team that will help you stay healthy, I definitely recommend Dr. Kennedy, Dr. Romanelli, and this NW Physicians Group.

I wanted to find out how much the vaccines cost before I decide whether or not to get them. Passport Health REFUSED to give me the CPT (codes until I had completed an appointment with them, i.e. had already spent $800 on the vaccines (and at nice profit to them, no doubt). Then, and only then, would they give me the CPT codes. This should be illegal. I'm guessing they're owned by a venture capital company--that's the kind of sharks who would have a policy like this.

We tried to go to the office and pay in person and they sent us away with a serious amount of attitude. I also went in with what ended up being a broken leg, they sent me for X-Rays. They didn't get back to me until 5 days later, only for them to tell me my leg was fine. I went to an emergency room after hearing that and the doctors immediately determined my leg to be broken. The doctors at the ER told me that this was the worst missed diagnosis they had ever seen and that I needed to find a new primary care physician. This is the place to go if you want to spend 4 hours frustratingly trying to pay your copay after every single visit.

I am overdue in writing this review. I am over the moon with Innovative Vitality and cannot thank…read moreMeredith enough. I have lost 65 pounds since July 2024, and I am getting really close to my goal weight. The work started with a glucose monitor so I could get a sense of the types of foods I was eating and how they impacted my blood sugar. At the same time, they did thorough blood testing. Meredith took the time to go through every result, and I learned a lot about what was happening in my body and the supplements I needed to make improvements. Let me be clear, yes, they recommend supplements, but they don't overload you. The recommendations are reasonable and focused on your specific blood test results. When I started working with Meredith, I was also borderline type 2 diabetes, so she started me on a GLP-1 medication. I had been curious about these medicines but was also nervous about starting one because of potential side effects; however, when I say this medicine is life-changing, I really mean it. I can't remember a time in my life before starting on a GLP-1 when I was not thinking about or craving food. I would think about what I just ate, what I wanted to eat next, when the next time was to eat, and much more. It was exhausting. On the GLP-1 medicine, the food thoughts are gone. It is amazing. I also feel full quicker and don't have cravings like I used to. That being said, I can still enjoy all the foods I have loved; I just find I don't need the amount of food I used to have. I never thought I could feel satisfied with only a few bites of dessert, but it has happened. I would not be where I am today without Meredith's support. I see her once a month in person for my In Body weigh-in and an overall check-in. I can also text her when I have questions or need something between appointments. If needed, I could also make a telehealth appointment or quickly get an in-person appointment with her, but I haven't needed that. I add this because part of the service with Innovative Vitality is more personalized care. Every visit, she takes the time to walk me through my In Body results to be sure I understand the changes happening with my body. More than that, I feel like Meredith celebrates positive results with me. She really cares about my progression and how I am feeling. I usually come to every appointment with a list of questions and/or health concerns unrelated to my weight loss. Meredith makes the time to discuss everything on my list and provide me with treatments and recommendations. If, like me, you have tried a million diets that haven't worked and are beginning to feel hopeless, or if you just want to feel more in the driver's seat to lose weight, then I really encourage you to consider starting at Innovative Vitality. Meredith is excellent, but I am sure the other doctors there are great since it is a great medical practice overall.

Having suffered from Chronic…read moreMigraines for coming up on a decade, Dr. Torphy has been my physician since the beginning of my journey when I was terrified, depressed, knew nothing, and in the early stages of my treatments. I've now been his patient for 6+ years and have followed him from a large facility to his new private practice. I am SO happy that he created his own location, because he provides such stellar care for his patients. Dr. Torphy has truly changed my life for the better. Outside of being a great doctor, he is a kind person, and makes an effort to ensure you are comfortable, understand your treatment, and gets to know you on a personal level. I mentioned the staff at this clinic just briefly. I have only been once so far, but have worked with them a few times leading up to my appointment on prior authorization for my treatment, and even day of. They are PHENOMENAL. Proactive, kind, and understanding. Kudos to you for finding some gems! Having chronic pain and migraine disorders are hard enough as is. With everything that we have to navigate from missed work and personal events, tried and failed medications, to the difficulty of insurance -- having a doctor that truly wants you to find a pain free life means a lot. You'll find that here.

Dr. Shashoua…read moreblessed us with the greatest gift by performing a Myomectomy to remove my massive uterine fibroids with no complications. The successful surgery has given me the chance to still fulfill my dream of being a Mother, which is the greatest gift one could ever give. Another Doctor in Wisconsin attempted to perform a Myomectomy and failed, telling me I would need a Hysterectomy because of the size of my uterine fibroids and the location of the fibroids. This Doctor also told me it wasn't worth getting a second opinion because nobody in the world would be able to remove my massive fibroids and was confident I would need a Hysterectomy. These massive fibroids were not only causing me infertility issues, but causing me major problems and living with them was unbearable. This Doctor was proven WRONG the day I walked into Dr. Shashoua's office to get a second opinion. Dr. Shashoua is brilliant and a gifted surgeon who performed what I was told was the IMPOSSIBLE. From the moment my husband and I met him he made us feel so comfortable and you can see how much he genuinely cares. He's so compassionate and explained everything in terms we understood. Dr. Shashoua is very knowledgeable about uterine fibroids and his confidence in his work made me relaxed and at ease going into surgery. He was attentive to my needs every step of the process and was there after surgery to check up on me. We traveled from Wisconsin to see Dr. Shashoua and his team treated us with excellent care. Traveling from out of state, the surgery and scheduling of the surgery was easy to navigate with the support of his team. This surgery was LIFE CHANGING and I'm recovering well. We're so blessed we found Dr. Shashoua and we would highly recommend him. If you're reading this and suffering from uterine fibroids and want to get your life back, do not hesitate for one moment, call and make an appointment. Dr. Shashoua is a true miracle worker.

Numerous appointments were made with family Doctor, OBGYN, and asthma specialist. They started running CT scans, chest x-rays, PAP, internal scans, mammogram, breathing and blood test. The diagnosis for November was Fibroids, low iron, and node in right breast. By the time I took my mammogram in December the node had disappeared. My OBGYN reached me a pamphlet, told me to educate myself on all of the possible procedures and technology available. My OBGYN told me to research online for a specialist and choose someone that was on the cutting edge of technology and leading their field. Then provide him with a name and if everything checked out he would give me a referral. This would give me the best chance and future to have children. The items listed above are what led me to a great doctor. I would like to start by saying I travelled across the state of Illinois to see Doctor Abraham Shashoua. By the time I met Dr. Shashoua I was in severe pain and panic. Dr. Shashoua ran his own test and found 7 fibroids. Two were inside the uterus and the rest were on the outside. Dr. Shashoua was able to give me the reassurance that I needed. In 18 years Dr. Shashoua has only had to do 1 unscheduled hysterectomy. Dr. Shashoua and his team performed the surgery within 3 hours and removed a little over 14 lbs in fibroids. *See attachment Dr. Shashoua is great at putting his patients at ease as well as fostering communication and development with his team. When it comes to going above and beyond, Dr. Shashoua did that for me. (After receiving my records he even ordered another chest x-ray to make sure everything was clear) I feel blessed to have him as my Doctor.
