I found them on Zocdoc and they had good availability. Dr. Donahue was very professional, funny, and got to the bottom of things quickly. I felt so much better after his assessment and treatment. I also really appreciate that after you see the chiropractor, they bring you to one of the physical therapists to get stretches and exercises to help you deal with (and hopefully prevent) the issues from coming back. Katherine at the front desk is perhaps the friendliest office manager I've ever met. She always has a big smile and is so empathetic to every patient. She's quick to respond on things and helpful at working with insurance and scheduling appointments. Very happy to have found such a great provider in Chicago! Just don't forget to pay your meter if you park on the street, you WILL get a ticket (I learned that the hard way).

A couple of years ago I was in a lot of pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. I could hardly move…read moremy head to the left. My neurologist referred me specifically to Imelda and I have been grateful ever since. Shortly after I started PT at PhysioPartners, I began to experience some pain relief. I was given a comprehensive home routine that I followed. I did not ever think I would be relieved of the neck pain and I am glad that I do not have it often. I would not be honest if I said I was completely pain free. I sometimes get flare ups and the vast majority of the time the home exercises help relieve the pain. Imelda is a McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy clinician. I am grateful for her proficiency in this method because it definitely helps my spine conditions. I recently started physical therapy again. The orthopedic specialist I see told me to work with Imelda again for my spine, lower back pain and nerve pain. PT is helping me quite a bit. I was given new exercises to add to my home routine that are helping me improve and strengthen. From the time I walk through the front door to when I leave, I do not feel rushed. My questions are answered. Imelda confirms that I understand my protocol and instructions. The facility is wonderful and has quite a bit of equipment and classes offered if needed. I am very grateful to Imelda and PhysioPartners. I've shared Imelda's and PhysioPartners' information with friends and colleagues.

I've had a very positive experience with Imelda and highly recommend her for physical therapy. She is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough.

I am in my mid-sixties and during the second week of March 2018, I experienced pain in my right…read moreknee. As it was not getting any better, I went to see my general practitioner. After an x-ray, an ultrasound and an MRI, my problem was diagnosed as a torn meniscus. My doctor gave me a referral to a sports medicine clinic. I made an appointment to see Dr. Ellis Nam, who saw me on June 11th. I looked into his background. He had impeccable credentials. Some of my friends from the health club I belong to utilized his services and had nothing but praise for him. Dr. Nam examined my knee, asked a series of pertinent questions and looked at my x-ray and MRI. His verdict? Well, although an option, he wasn't overly keen on cortisone injection. He mention that just doing nothing and learning to live with it was also an option. However, although my injury was unrepairable, he could, via arthroscopic surgery, clean up the tear. This would relieve some of the discomfort. The procedure would take approximately twenty minutes. I had never considered myself a gambling man...but in this case, I had to throw the dice and go for it. I was scheduled for surgery on June 26th. Everything unfolded pretty much as expected. I had a VERY good feeling about the outcome of this procedure the moment I came out of the anesthesia. The unrelenting pain I was in for 3 1/2 months...was gone!!! I thought it was because of the sedative they gave me but NO. That pain was GONE!!! I now have a little discomfort...which I can live with. I truly appreciate Dr. Nam's conservative approach to my situation. He was correct when he said that my condition was not life threatening, but it was quality of life threatening. I discovered on a follow-up visit that my procedure was a trifle more complicated than originally anticipated. It seem that Dr. Nam found more arthritis than the tests indicated. He was able to smooth it a bit as well as clean up the tear. It is not surprising that I'm feeling better. My great passion in life is the fifteen to eighteen hours a week I spend working out at the health club. That torn meniscus jeopardized that passion. Thanks to Dr. Nam, I'm back to my daily work-out routine and I'm grateful to him for making that possible.

I recently was told that I need a hip replacement surgery. This news sent waves of fear running…read morethrough me. Then I realized why: Years ago, I had an ACL reconstruction by Preston Wolin. It was a traumatic experience. The initial consult was straighforward. My ACL had been completely severed in a sports accident. We scheduled the ACL reconstruction surgery and nothing seemed out of the ordinary....until the day of surgery. Wolin was over an HOUR late to the operating room, where I had been prepped and was lying on the table. He wildly flailed his arms and SCREAMED at everyone in the OR that they had set this or that up wrong. He was in a RAGE. It was terrifying. I feared having someone in such a state operating on me. I had thought to get up and leave but didn't feel I could. After he finished screaming, he leaned over me, grabbed a tourniquet, lowered his face to mine, and stared menacingly into my eyes as he tied the tourniquet SUPER tightly on my leg. THAT is what I experienced as I was being put under. It was like something out of a horror film. I awakened in the recovery room in such intense pain and no one was around. I called out and no one came. My leg was in a constant passive motion machine and I felt like I was being stabbed with each up and down motion. I had been given ZERO pain meds. Wolin had harvested the graft by cutting out the center of my patellar tendon with bone plugs at either end and bolted the plugs into my bones. The nurses said there was nothing they could do for my pain because Wolin had NOT PRESCRIBED PAIN MEDS FOR ME and he had left the hospital! The entire night, I was in unfathomable pain. The hospital ran an EKG on me because I was in such a terrible state. I was supposed to try to get up and walk but absolutely couldn't, I felt as if a knife was stabbing me in the knee. The next day, Wolin BURST into my hospital room by angrily flinging the door open with a nurse by his side. He SCREAMED at me, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE AN ATHLETE! GET UP AND WALK!" I said "I CAN'T!!!!" The nurse unwrapped my knee and GASPED: A drain tube had been erroneously left in my knee. In addition to the pain of the surgery, the drain tube was LITERALLY STABBING ME IN THE SURGERY SITE ALL NIGHT LONG as the constant passive motion machine moved my leg up and down ---- and all of this with NO PAIN MEDS! The nurse removed the tube and I felt instant relief. I got up and took a few steps. I told Wolin to get out of my room and that I never wanted to see him ever again. Unfortunately, as I healed, the way he had placed the thick stainless steel bolt into my tibia was causing excruciating pain. I went to several other surgeons and no one would touch me, stating that they wouldn't operate on anyone who was a patient of Wolin. I therefore had no other option except to go back to him to ask him to remove the bolt. He bellowed, "I'm not going to have a bad result because of YOU!" Then he reached over and pinched the place of the bolt and I almost flew through the ceiling in pain. He grudgingly conceded to take the bolt out. I didn't want to let this man touch me again but I was desperate to get the bolt out since I had been in pain for a year. When I woke up from the bolt removal, I felt instant relief from the pain that his placement of the bolt had caused! Now, after being told I need a hip replacement, I'm reliving the nightmare I had by going to Wolin. Even though it was a long time ago, I decided I should help others by posting an account of my experience. When we are looking for someone to care for our health, it's important to gather information and choose wisely. I'm sure that the doctor I will choose to fix my hip will not be like Wolin, but the nightmarish experience I had with him is having an effect.

I am so lucky to have found Meredith and Lakeshore PT. She has helped me for almost 3 months…read morethrough a pretty serious herniated disc in my lower back and the bonuses: sciatica and plantar fasciitis. Not only has she taught me many ways to build back up my strength, but shared a ton of new ideas to strengthen my core, etc. to manage this back injury moving forward. Via in person, emails AND print outs. Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it. I cannot say enough great things - you must go see her. You will not be disappointed and it will be so worth your time and money/insurance co-pay. Joni and Sally are also amazing! They were super communicative, helpful and patient with my insurance paperwork (read: delays) and were always rooting for me to get better.

This was a tough decision on how to update. Given that the entirety of my review focused on…read moreMeredith, I felt compelled to post an update since she has left. First off, I still give LSF PT five stars. Their location is great, I enjoy their awesome gym, and the people that work there are great. If you are busy, already a member at this gym, it's a great choice. And thanks to this place, I met Meredith. Meredith was the star who helped me get through some tough nagging injuries - so I felt compelled to state that she moved on from this location. She really went the extra mile and I mean, look at all the reviews she's garnered for this business, that's saying something. If you aren't necessarily set on being inside the gym and want someone with an awesome reputation, look her up. At the end of the day, either LSF or Meredith are great choices and FAR superior to the greedy corporate chain in the greater Chicago area, so I am happy to keep my five star review of LSF PT.
