Ran out of Rx meds twice so far, once before surgery and once after. Both times we were promised a call-back in response to our request. Both times the office closing time came and went without the assured callback. And both times we were left to guess what to take when the prescribed med ran out prematurely. There were also issues with having to wait for insurance approval for a CT scan (then being told a day later that no approval was required), as well as with timely scheduling of office visits and tests. Both of these seem more like front desk issues, though I could be wrong. Again, the doctor, PA, and nurses all appear to be knowledgeable and compassionate, but there is some sort of administrative component that fails consistently and fails badly.

Its been a week since I started treatment at Advanced Physicians. I wanted to give it some time and…read morethought so I might write a meaningful review. Previously I received my health "care" through the VA Healthcare System. After a week at Advanced Physicians I now know what real health care is. Sadly, the VA only been providing me health "monitoring" at best over the past 15 yrs. If I pushed things, the VA provided me with useless pain meds. That was it. I have suffered from chronic lower back pain (stenosis) for over 2 years. It limited my ability to move around. My back and body became tightened. I then developed severe mid back pain about 4 months ago on top of that. Apparently, I have a cyst in my spine pressing on a nerve. The pain kept me up at night. I needed help to get out of bed. I was no longer able to bathe myself adequately. I had to ease myself into the bathtub with help for baths. Over time, my mind went to a dark place. I began to feel hopeless and helpless. Fortunately for me, the VA was unable to offer me pain treatment in their pain management clinic. So, They referred me to Advanced Physicians in Crest Hill and I now also receive treatments in their Aurora Center- in my hometown, locally. Instead of receiving useless pain medication that only left me groggy (and still in severe pain), I now get REAL treatment for my pain from Advanced Physicians. No meds! Instead, I was thoughtfully evaluated by their Doctors and we developed a plan for treatment that I can say, with certainty... is working. What a blessing! So far I have gotten massages to loosen up my rock hard tight spine. I've received IFC (stimulation), chiropractic adjustments, heat and cold treatment and have started basic flexibility exercises. For the first time in months I can stand in the shower! I feel strong enough, stable on my feet and most importantly, I can now take showers again, independently, standing up and feeling safe. Its only been a week, but there are so many more "simple" improvements to my pain relief, increased flexibility and strength that I could go on and on about these positive changes to my physical strength, mobility and health. But I will sum it up simply by saying, Advanced Physicians have helped me regain "hope", when I used to feel life was hopeless. Where I used to just isolate myself in my room or in bed- I'm now beginning to imagine doing many of the things I used to once enjoy. I know it may be a while until I see more permanent and long lasting changes. Beyond a doubt, Advanced Physicians has provided me the BEST healthcare "treatments" I've received in over 8 yrs. They didn't just ask me questions and prescribed me pills. Instead, they actually put their hands on my spine and back, watched my stance, posture and gait. And in doing so, THEY were able to understand my pain and difficulties. They could see it and feel it with THEIR hands. A lost art? Perhaps this is what seems to be missing in healthcare today? Question can be informative, but the feeling of touch- bumps, tightness, swelling, stiffness. These things can tell my story better than my words. I had previously served 12 yrs in the US Army as a medical sergeant in the Rangers, Paratroopers and Special Forces in the 1980s and 90s. I am now considered 100% disabled. I have the ability to tolerate a great deal of pain. But should I really need to still suffer 25+ years after the end of my service? I believed I was provided adequate healthcare by the VA. Now I realize that sadly, its just been VA health "monitoring" not real health "care". I'm so grateful for being a patient now at Advanced Physicians. I feel better. At age 55, I had started to feel my life was just about over. Its a bit overwhelming to be able to do basic activities in my home that I have not been able to do for months. But perhaps the most important thing that I have regained through see the Doctors at Advanced Physician, is they have given me back real hope. Thank you.

When we started at Rush Pediatric Therapy, our 4-year-old son was non-verbal and severely delayed,…read morestruggling to achieve milestone that most of an 18-month-old level per CDC milestones. After his initial assessment, the team agreed he needed 30+ hours of weekly ABA therapy to support his development. Unfortunately, Rush consistently failed to deliver. Despite the agreed-upon plan, our son never received more than 17 hours per week, even during summer sessions it was decreased even further down to just 13 hours. Early intervention is critical for autistic children to build essential skills in communication, cognition, and social development, as emphasized by every autism support group we've joined. Rush's inability to provide the recommended therapy hours has hindered our son's progress. Worse, Rush made recommendations that seemed contrary to his best interests, such as reducing his weekly hours after he missed a few days over a couple of weeks or allowing their therapist make medical diagnosis when they have no training to diagnose medical conditions. This lack of commitment and follow-through has been deeply disappointing. We expected a center dedicated to supporting autistic children to prioritize their needs, but Rush fall far short of that standard.
