First, she said that I would not gain weight, which I did. That was not good but not as bad as the fact that my hair fell out. Like a lot of hair. Probably 40-50% of my hair fell out. I have long curly hair. Yea, it was traumatic. My hair is finally grown out after about 2 years. For the 2 weeks I was on that drug, the inflammation in my ankle (and the rest of my body) went down significantly... as in, I was out of pain. That was glorious. Until the pain started coming back. I was very, very discouraged. I even stopped exercising for a long time. The only good thing about this traumatic experience is figuring out that inflammation in the body is what is causing all the pain. I use the foot inserts she recommended, which has helped a lot. I'm back to exercising and making good progress to not be in pain. Moral of the story: most prescriptions are garbage. Side effects are no joke. More morals to the story: organic foods, getting inflammatory foods out of your diet, exercise and great supplements (with side benefits, not side effects) are the only way to get back on track. It takes longer but you don't have to deal with hair falling out, gaining weight or other nasty side effects.

He started scaring me with all the bad stuff that could happen, and telling me if r MRI results are bad I may need surgery. I said I won't do surgery. . . I said I have a chiropractor and massage therapist. He said don't see your chiropractor till after the MRI. She might mess it up. the next day my massage therapist worked on the cuboid bone in my foot. That was the cause of the foot problem. I had tight muscles in my thigh which made the leg seem weaker. It was a very odd visit with DR. Pastore. I had the feeling he was trying to push me into medical solutions for things that could be easily remedied by my long time chiropractor and massage therapist. Doctors almost always consider complimentary therapy bad.and useless. . I am left with feeling uneasy about visiting Dr. Pastore in the future.

My elderly mom (age 85 with early Alzheimer's) rolled her ankle a few weeks ago. I took her to the…read moreemergency care and she was given a boot to wear. Well, it pumps up with air and then you release the air with a button to take it off. It was too confusing for her to use it so she just stopped! I took her in for a follow up appointment and told Dr. Peterson that this boot was too difficult for her to use. He said he would give her an ankle brace so she could still wear her shoe. Dr Peterson did a thorough exam and we felt like he listened to our concerns. We then we're handed off to an assistant who fitted an ankle brace on mom. It had shoelace ties that you didn't have to tie (thank goodness) and multiple Velcro straps that wrap around under your arch snd back to the ankle area. Ok, we'll give this one a try. By the next day it was clear that this ankle brace was too difficult for mom to put on herself as well. I ended up going to a medical supply pharmacy and buying one off the shelf that is a little easier for mom to manage. At least she will wear the over the counter model, which is better than not wearing one at all. We have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks so hopefully the ligaments around her ankle have had time to heal. Overall we had a good experience at Suburban Orthopedics.

The practice has a 15 minute grace period yet I still called to tell them I was 5-10 minutes behind. They said that was fine. Then as I was already on my way, they called me to tell me to reschedule. I had broken my toe since my last appointment and my visit was probably going to take longer than expected. Would I have been thrown out if I had taken the extra time? It's hard to imagine that quality care can be given if they are counting the minutes that way. I understand the need to be on time. However as a long time patient, I would think that some grace can be given. Also, why have a policy at all if the practice doesn't abide by it ?! Extremely angry and annoyed.

He is so caring and straightforward, I love everyone in the office. It is never a long wait & if your early they get you in and out quickly.

They suggest I find a hand specialist, which lead me to find Dr. Metz at Core in my Cigna PPO network. First visit doctor simply examined the finger, took X-rays, and did an ultrasound of the finger to see if he could determine a diagnosis - x-rays and scan looked clear. To avoid future issues he recommended we remove it. Follow-up visit in Elks Grove Village for surgery was easy. Dr. Metz fully scrubbed up (which is something my derm never does). Dr. Metz removed the growth and sutured the small incision with great care and precision. Follow-up visit was simple - stitches removed and confirmed diagnosis of scar tissue/nevus. Would NOT hesitate to see doctor or recommend him or the Core Orthopedic Group for any future medical needs.
