I went to him for chronic migraines and he has been a great source of solid medical information and treatment. I would recommend him as a physician without hesitation.

    Whenever I come across an article or a statistic about how women aren't taken seriously by doctors…read more(a phenomenon known as "the pain gap") I am immediately reminded of my experience with Dr. Jonathan Vogel a number of years ago. I was referred to him regarding a trio of symptoms: 1. Flashes in my vision and vision doubling - which Dr. Vogel suggested was merely psychological and that I should see a psychiatrist. Thankfully I found a more skilled doctor who diagnosed me with aura migraines and double vision caused by early onset cataracts. I later had cataract surgery which cured me of that. 2. Nerve pain in my legs and tailbone - He sent me for nerve testing, which showed that I had nerve slowing, which he said "could eventually lead to drop foot." When I expressed confusion and worry over that possibility he told me in a very condescending annoyed tone, "Maybe you should go outside or read a book." Thankfully I found a more skilled doctor later on. The nerve pain turned out to be due to a large uterine tumor that required major surgery to remove. Following surgery that symptom was alleviated. 3. Extreme fatigue. The fatigue was due to the exceedingly heavy menstrual bleeding that the uterine tumor was causing, which had made me anemic. Dr. Vogel had suggested my fatigue was also psychological. Lol. Seems like his favorite go-to when he can't come up with a proper diagnosis. So yeah I don't know, maybe Dr. Vogel should...go outside or read a book--or many books--on healthcare, especially as it pertains to women, on critical thinking, and on how to be a more compassionate doctor. While he's at it he might want to read up on how women are frequently gaslighted by doctors who don't take their symptoms seriously.

    Last week, I started ketamine IV for my severe major depressive disorder at Innovative Ketamine…read morehere in Chicago. After a lifetime of depression and a decade of severe depression, it was the first time I felt like there was hope that I could live like a normal human again. I started therapy (weekly on a day that I got my first infusion) to make sure I got the most from the experience. After a week, I was confident that I would be turning everything around. Today, I had my 4th of 6 planned sessions and everything started out normally, however, during the session, it felt like what I can only describe as "the power going out". The music I was listening to stopped, and I came right awake. Still dizzy, but no one had come into the room even though there's a camera in each room and I was told they'd be monitoring. I could hear a patient in the next room moaning and gasping loudly like they were in pain and I could see blood pooling in in my IV. I called out and waved at the camera until someone final came in and removed my IV but left a blood soaked bandage on my arm I was left alone and I walked to the front desk where I asked if this was normal. A tech led me back and wrapped a new bandage but said nothing else and I was left in shock as the moaning man stilled called out in the background. My day since then feels like everything that happened last week has been undone. My hope has been replaced with a deeper despair than before and I am scrambling for any desperate help I can find. I canceled my last two appointments and therapy sessions, explaining what had happened, so far I've received nothing but a "I'm sorry that happened to you". I feel like I was near the finish line and got kicked in the face and left on the side of the track, wondering how I can trust this process again

Definitely top tier on expertise. I will be using him in the future and will refer him to anyone dealing with pain. 5 starz wasn't enough.

    I went to three visits. At the first visit, he said get an MRI. He didn't know or have knowledge…read morethat the MRI in the hospital where he worked was too narrow of an opening to accommodate the width of my shoulders. I would have thought a simple visual assessment at the time of my visit would have been sufficient. Instead, I was delayed and strung along for two more visits. He didn't submit the correct paperwork for the MRI so it was denied by the insurance. Finally, after two more visits, going for the MRI was unsuccessful so he wrote a prescription for an "Open MRI" at a facility 17 miles away from my home in the far Western suburbs. He prescribed me with Lidocaine patches yet he refused to proovide the insurance the necessary documentation for the patches and it was denied. Even after I asked his staff and the hospital administrator to ask him to send the documentation to BCBS, he never did it. Eventually, I transferred to Dr. Shah who scheduled me for treatment the same day, prrovided all the necessary insurance paperwork immediately and I finally got treatment from dr. Shaha after months of Candido stalling and denying me treatment. Dr. Candido is a "Yes" man to the insurance company and a "No" man to helping patients. Also, I told him that MEloxicam didn't help. I told him it was causing me to fall asleep constantly. Instead of prescribing a different muscle relaxant (As Dr. Shah did on the first visit), Dr. Candido wrote a refill for Meloxicam and I never filled it. I continued to be in excruciating pain because Candido couldn't be bothered to listen to the needs of a patient and write a proper, useful prescription.

He is usually very prompt with appointment times. He has done a few injections and he walks you through the process and answers any questions. He makes the experience as pain free as possible.

    Dr. Engle is FANTASTIC. My mom was in absolute agony with a fractured L1 vertebra. Horrible pain,…read moreshe couldn't walk or do daily activities. She's 94, but active, and not a pain complainer. So when she complained of severe pain . . . something had to be done. Northwestern did NOTHING. Four hospital admittances - just take Tylenol. She lives at the Breakers, and I happened to see the "pain management" sign - have to do something, let's try this. IT WORKED. Beautifully! An injection of special surgical cement in the cracked vertebra took away her pain, saved her life, really. She's back rocking, doing PT, riding the recumbent cycle, walking and eating dinner with her friends. I am so glad we came here. She's happy again. Dr. Engle is super knowledgeable, and patient. He's very honest, with clear explanations of the treatment he prescribes. He explained everything to my Mom, made sure she was comfortable and clear on her treatment. Answered all questions, and is just a great, friendly, awesome, upbeat person. Everyone in the office is fantastic. The facility is clean, and masks are worn. Day of her treatment, he was efficient, and the procedure was done in a short amount of time. Again, clear instructions about home care, and healing time. His solution worked great. She has another back issue now, but not as severe. Did not take any convincing to get her to come back here to have that solved. Don't endure back/spine pain, come here!!!

    If I could give this terrible place a negative five I would. You'll notice every time a negative…read morereview is written it's followed by a glowing well written review , how odd?! First of all the surgery center reminds me of an illegal abortion clinic in the Philippines, very scary place. Secondly my attempts to get copies of my medical records have been unsuccessful. I have been trying to get copies of them so that I can go to the RUSH Pain Center which was recommended to me as IPM is a literal nightmare. I have never experienced such a disorganized doctors office with no returned phones calls, no follow up on requests for refills etc etc. I went through a terrible withdrawal from going cold turkey on my meds TWICE due to the fact that no one responds to any phone calls. The pharmacy is In California and is mailed to you so the it takes weeks to get the medication. This year I bit the bullet and bought a much more expensive medical insurance plan so that I could go to a legitimate professional pain center such as at RUSH University. I weaned myself off of the medication I was on so as not to experience the horrible horrible withdrawal symptoms I experienced twice while going to IPM. Now I am living in pain each day at a time waiting for them to give my copies of my medical records so that I can go to another doctor. My next steps will be legal action if I do not receive the medical records by the end of this week. Stay away!

    I visited this office today for a follow up visit. I've had back pain for years. I've tried various…read moremedications and was doing fine until a car accident I had a few months ago. My pain was so bad I finally called my insurance company (Cigna) and asked for in network providers in my area. That's how I found Dr. McGowan. Now I would like to note that I NEVER visit a physician, restaurant, or any business other than what's normal for day to day activity (CVS or Target) without checking their Yelp reviews. My insurance gave me 3 providers, none of which had great reviews *rolls eyes at insurance company* I ended up giving this office a shot because they only had 7 reviews. I feel like less than 10 isn't an accurate assessment (good or bad). The other providers I was given had more bad reviews which tells me that that is the culture within their organizations. The reviews from here weren't coming from fellow Yelp Elite. If I see that someone setup a Yelp account just to write 1 good or bad review I pretty much ignore it. Glad I went with my gut. My appointments went great! I made my initial appointment over the phone. When I came in for both my consultation and follow up visit, I was greeted right away. I think the front desk receptionist's name is Veronica. She was nice. I didn't have to wait long at all to see Dr.McGowan so that is a major plus. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. I first visited the office in mid September. Dr. McGowan sent me to get an epidural at the surgical center on Fullerton 2 weeks after my consultation. Then I waited another 2 weeks for my follow up, which was today. I would definitely recommend Dr. McGowan. If you don't want to read my long ass review these highlights are for you! *****HIGHLIGHTS***** -Dr. McGowan is friendly & knowledgeable -Office is clean and well kept -No long wait -Friendly receptionist -This practice has multiple locations

On a daily basis I moan, groan and gripe to do the easiest things from brushing my teeth to an average household tasks. Owning a small business my clients rely on me to be able to fulfill orders and keep content and merchandise fresh. Without adequate care my quality of life has been horrid. Remaining stoic in front of family friends and loved ones HAD BEEN a great task as I have tried to hide my pain until it became evident to everyone around me I couldn't even play a round of golf before retiring after a few holes. (and that's not bc I was in the sand and water all day either! L:) ) Experience: My experience with Midwest Pain has given me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel again. With amazing attention to detail, a combined approach of Physical Therapy, On-Site Treatment, and Honest Approach from day 1 gives them a 10 Star review in my book. PA-C Angie Osmanski 10 Stars for your amazing attention to detail and treatment plan you prepared for me. Chewly at intake 10 stars you are amazing and are worth every penny. Dr. Pontinen 10 stars for your communication. A rare thing nowadays. A Diamond in the Rough, If you have concerns, they take them serious. They are also very adamant as they should be about about explaining and making sure patients understand the medication being prescribed what it does and how it works. They do not prescribe just to prescribe. This is a legit establishment and they have quite the Roster of Doctors on they're Team that all have unique areas of training in different areas of pain management So it's a safe bet that someone on they're Team can help find the best treatment plan for anyone in need of Pain Management. I Highly recommends MW pain and look forward to my ongoing road to recovery. Thank you MW PAIN for making tying a knot when I came to the end of my rope ! Thanks for helping me get my life back! 5 years after initial review update below Treatment has progressed. I have been able to play golf. Pain is managed to a maintainable level. Been more active and actually lost weight over this period. My Apple Watch shows significantly more active in exercise and being able to enjoy life. Breathe more fresh air touch, grass, and explore the globe. A total 180 from my way of life prior to MAPS. The process has also been expeditiously quicker. Employees are kind courteous and professional and mindful of patients time to be sure your inn and out in a timely fashion. GS
