Finance person was rude. She said his insurance wasn't going to cover his fourth week there told me…read moreI needed to give her a check before he was released like he was being held prisoner, but yet he was being forced to go home got him home on a Friday called the insurance company insurance company said he was approved for another week and maybe even more than that, so he was literally forced to leave because they wouldn't wait for the insurance paperwork to go through. It was all the finance administrators fault. Other than that, the care was pretty good.

I saw Dr. Yoo to have a growth removed, and it was a decent experience. Nevertheless, everything…read moreelse was a mess. First, his secretary is rude and difficult to work with. Every time I have called to schedule an appointment, she acts as if she is doing me a huge favor. I have scheduled all of my appointments at his Glenview location, however, when I turned up for my appointment, I was told that the doctor was not in because I had been scheduled for the Chicago office. Even though I took the day off work, there was no apology, and she made it difficult to reschedule. When I returned to the Glenview schedule after taking the day off work AGAIN, Dr. Yoo and his nurse were very friendly and approachable. The procedure went well and I felt comfortable. Dr. Yoo did the interior stitches, but had a resident do the outer stitches. While the Dr. is very personable, I am surprised to see others state that he explained things well. Dr. Yoo did not explain what he was doing or offer any information if I did not ask (or know to ask) first. When the procedure was finished, I was given discharge papers by the nurse, I was taught how to properly care for my wound, and told I would need to take an antibiotic. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and there was no order placed. I called Dr. Yoo's call center, where they said they would page him, and still, after several hours, my prescription was not called in. I called several times again, and was told this time he would be paged "urgently", and my prescription was still not called in, and then the pharmacy closed. This is unacceptable. The staff at the call center were very courteous, but they asked for lots of details regarding my medication that should not be my responsibility as a patient: what dosage of the antibiotic I need, what frequency - how should I know? I'm not the doctor. I can't even imagine if this had been an emergency - the doctor is nowhere to be found! It took almost 24 hours before I was able to procure my prescription, and by then, my wound was a bit inflamed. This likely could have been avoided if the Dr. made it possible to adhere to his own plan. Eventually the next day, a nurse did call and apologize, and my prescription order was sent to my pharmacy. In Sum/TL;DR: Dr. Yoo and his nurses are nice enough, but his secretary is rude and things are poorly organized. I would consider going in again to have something small removed, because believe it or not, he was easier to schedule with than other dermatologists (e.g. shorter waiting times for appointments, accepts most insurance, convenient location). However, be advised: Dr. Yoo is pretty much impossible to reach if there are complications or if something happens after-hours, and if you are having a serious procedure, the risks aren't worth it.

I have read varying reviews of dermatologists in the Chicago area. Not surprisingly they vary…read morewidely, akin to those of cosmetic surgeons. Expectations play a large role in these. I had two lip lesions that were benign but slowly growing and I wanted them removed. My dermatologist at Chicago Lakeshore Medical, Dr. Smith, recommended a certain type of laser for the lips, found at the NMH dermatology department. I called for an appointment and received a consultation within two days - very unusual and positive. When I was seen by Dr. Yoo and a medical resident, timely by the way, they suggested that if I could just wait for 15-20 minutes they could perform the procedure. Of course, I accepted, popped down to Corner Bakery for a sandwich and returned. The doctor and his staff were compassionate, efficient and professional. The laser did not hurt whatsoever even though they warned me; of course I had topical anesthetic. Their promise of rrsults is evident three weekds later. The elsions have all but disappeared. It helped me that I had prior minor surgery to remove one under my upper lip because Ihave herpes simplex andamy disruption or wound causes fever blisters and swelling. But the effect of the laser was minimal and I am very pleased. Such therapy is expensive but worth it in my case. Dr. Yoo made a return visit for 4-6 weeks but it won't be necessary. The office is very efficient and comfortable in the Arkes Family Pavilion on St. Clair.

Man, I miss this doctor when I need a good one!

I was a patient of Dr Surucci for more than 15 years and was very satisfied with his care…read more I lost my job after working for the company for 25 years due to the company outsourcing my job, I also lost my health insurance so I ended up on Medicaid until I could find another job. I made an appointment with Dr Surucci for my regular check up. The girl at the front desk explained that Dr Surucci doesn't take Medicaid patients so I gave her my credit card so that I could have one last visit with Dr Surucci, probably not a good idea since my unemployment checks were not very much. Dr Surucci told me he would only accept Medicaid if I also had Medicare, but I wasn't old enough to qualify for Medicare. I was already depressed after losing my job after 25 years, but I was even more depressed when I found out I was only a dollar sign to Dr Surucci, I went to my car and cried for about 15 minuets before driving home.

I had my first visit with Dr. Surucci recently as I had the flu. He went through my background…read morethoroughly and recommended not only treatment for my flu but also my allergies and Asthma. Dr. Surucci was very detailed in explaining everything to me concerning high cholesterol and its cumulative effects After running both blood and urine tests he has put me on Meds for Asthma and High Cholesterol. In addition to good advice and concern for my long term health he is good about free samples of meds and informing you of any promotions that you qualify for. Using my new meds I already feel much better. I have seen a few Doctors in Chicago and have had mostly mediocre experiences. This is the first time that I felt the Doc was advocating for my health. I will continue to see Dr. Surucci, and recommend him.
