However, after my visit, I recommend on customer service and thoroughness. Dr. Seth was great as well as Leslie and other staff that I met.

He did one test, a CT scan, then grossly missed diagnosed me as a drug seeker despite my constant pleas for a colonoscopy and even my doctors at University of Chicago said I needed a colonoscopy.

So grateful to this practice for their time, care, attention and ultimate resolution to his issue.

I look forward to seeing her when I visit my GI doctor as she spends more time, asks more questions and provides excellent advice!

Would you want to see a specialist that can get you in right away? I for sure as heck dont! I want a doctor who has a good patient following. (I once had a docs office tell me they could get me in within the week and I looked him up and he had terrible reviews- no thank you) I really am glad I went to see her. Waiting room time is the same as any other specialist's office. Her office staff was courteous. Would recommend!

Dr. Shahid is wonderful -- made me feel completely at ease and in good hands, from the initial visit to the procedure at the outpatient center in Oakbrook Terrace.

Even though my procedure was diagnostic, Dr. Shahid's thorough explanation of the results equipped me with the tools to manage my condition, and I'm doing so much better now.

We are different from other Gastroenterology (GI) practices because we understand that each of our patients is different. Each of their needs and treatments is different. So we pride ourselves, above all else, on knowing that each and every one of our patients is personally satisfied with the level of care they receive. We pride ourselves on an open dialogue between patient and physician. That's why we survey our patients regularly to get their input on everything from scheduling to patient care issues. We know the work we do is often sensitive and can cause patients concern. That's why we want you, the patient, to tell us how we're doing...and how you're feeling. It's a philosophy the physicians, nurses and entire team have adopted. We have 4 board-certified gastroenterologists in our practice to serve you...

They refuse to give me the 1 medication that gives me the will power to live. Then, a woman starts praying at my door. A complete violation of my privacy bc 1 of my afflictions is agoraphobia. Then, Amanda came. I ask her for a pillow. She wouldn't give one to me. I can't sleep on my arm as I was "staying overnight", they told me. She said, "why? Are U going to eat it?" So, I start screaming for a pillow. I dump out my ice & throw a plastic cup, that flew up in the air & falls to the floor in front of me, at her. She dodged out of the way like I'd hit her w/ a bullet. Everyone started screaming. They put me in restraints for it. I've been abused my entire life. These people hog tie me cutting circulation off of all 4 extremities. Then, slip me a Mickey if that equates to a team of 6 stabbing U in UR arm & top of the shoulder as hard as they possibly can. I have an extremely high tolerance. They left me tied up for hours. Considering the amount of PTSD that I have from things exactly like that & what I had went through w/ my husband the previous days? I, then, in the morning ask if I can go? Shattered; Broken. Assaulted. The first time I came here ? They dosed me w/ lithium that I'm highly allergic to & put me in a coma. I was literally scared out of my mind. FF to the next day when I take their $1200 trolley ride back 2 Linden Oaks from the ER. They strip search me. John, Isabel & Jamie are absolutely amazing & will help U w/ anything. John is the most selfless person I've met. He does the majority of work for who ever he is w/. All 3 genuinely care for ur mental & physical health. Isabel made me aware my A1C is at a 7.2, she works hard so that all are taken care of. Isabel & Jamie carry the team of nurses as the rest just sit there. When I asked Jamie about the A1C, she made sure I had a print out of my blood work. She taught me how to properly take my meds. Isabel made sure my blood sugar was checked promptly & none of the other nurses did that at all! Joseph & Alan also work, selflessly, & they aren't nurses. Samantha, the therapist, is a joke! James L. is a tall bald nurse w/ ironic facial hair & holier than thou attitude. James purposely says things to confuse U. He says contradicting things. Tells U that "you'll get UR meds in 20" when lunch time is scheduled in 20 minutes. He is so unhelpful!He can usually be found in a Pow Wow of about 4/6 people talking abt their "dating experiences" or telling stories w/ all of them. Even when UR standing right in front of him. Once? I approached him for scheduled meds & at the counter listening to his stories that have no end. He wrapped it up w/ talking about one of his friends that kept crapping himself saying, "in all of his "****-loving glory" & someone pointed to me. Otherwise? He'd have gone on w/ his co-workers, BSing. That's his favorite thing to do. So, he turns around & looks me directly in the eyes. Stands up & walks away. I ask his Pow Wow Group, "why he would do that?" John said, "It's just his personality". Another woman replied, "maybe he had to poop after telling that story", which turned out to be correct. Once? When I ask James, "When will I get my meds?" He replies, "U will get UR meds when I give them to U". He speaks in riddle & rhymes. He is definitely not a good nurse. The only time that I approached him was as a last resort. He hates me & didn't hide it. Once? When I said "or" instead of "&"? He used it to respond to me w/ a riddle. The things that he says & does R not ok while dealing w/ mental health. When U go to the psych ward, they always treat U like U R responsible for being unsure of UR life. They teach U coping skills & grounding techniques. They never explore the pain of the situation UR in might be anyone else's fault. Someone U can't escape? Someone UR bound to? They presume the worst & strip search U on the way in but not on the way out. These R Liabilities. NO FLU/COVID VACCINES!

I was under the care of a…read moregastroenterologist and an endocrinologist, both of whom are experts in their field but each only concerned with the symptoms related to their disciplines. I knew I needed to find a medical professional to help me understand and manage my conditions (both of which were causing me some serious problems) and to address the root cause of the disorders, as I believed them to be related. I began seeing Dr. Trish Pearce in September 2017 and I continue to see her on a monthly basis. Dr. Pearce's expertise in the treatment of autoimmune digestive and thyroid disorders has been invaluable to me. I have followed all of her recommendations, including dietary changes and the use of high quality supplements. As a result, my thyroid levels have been within normal range since February 2018 and are being managed solely by myself and Dr. Pearce, without the use of pharmaceuticals. The ulcerative proctitis is under control as well due to Dr. Pearce's treatment plan and a medication prescribed by the gastroenterologist, who I see every six months for medication management. I fully expect, under Dr. Pearce's care and guidance, to reach a point where I no longer need the medication. I consider Dr. Pearce to be my Primary Care Physician as she employs a holistic approach to my healthcare. I have total trust in her as a medical practitioner. Please do yourself and your health a favor and contact Advaita Natural Wellness. Be patient and give yourself the time needed to heal under the care of Dr. Pearce or Dr. Alsop.
