From the first steps we took into the practice , we felt welcomed. The location is very kids friendly and the front desk staff were really really nice and helpful. Dr. Starr took her time to listen to us and spent over 30 min either us. My daughter felt really comfortable and all our questions were answered. This was a great experience!

We have been coming here for almost 10 years now and I love the doctors, the nurse practitioners,…read moreand nurses that we see. They really care about the kids and cater to them well. I love that if you have a sick kid, there is no need to make an appointment. They have walk-ins available at their North Michigan Ave location for sick children. Every time I leave a message to speak with a nurse, I always get a call back promptly to address my concern. Recently my toddler has had a fever and it was on day 5 and they have been very supportive with their advice and next steps of what me as a mom would need to do if the fever goes past the 5 days. Thankfully the fever did not come back after that 5th day but I felt like I was prepared with what the doctor told me after our visit, just in case it did happen. I love that they also are on the Healow App which makes it easy to make an appointment online without having to call and wait for the receptionist to schedule one for you. Overall, they are a great team of Pediatricians that help make my mom journey with a toddler and teenager a little bit easier.

And when they thought it warranted a closer look, we have always received great options and referrals for additional care or screenings.

Moved my daughter here from another practice. We wanted to keep the same doctor that she had since…read morebirth since he moved to this practice. We waited weeks for a "sick appointment " and had an email confirmation. We arrived at the ncp 15 min before the appointment. And then the disappointment began. Front desk lady was so rude, told me to sign on the electronic pad even though she didn't tell me what I was signing. When I asked her , she almost yelled at me that she didn't have time to explain every single doc. Ok, I signed and then I was handed an iPad to fill out more docs (note that all the records and insurance info were already transferred before the visit) . Finished with the iPad and we moved to a room. To our surprise our doctor came and stated that he doesn't have time to see us because the appointment was made by the front desk as a "vaccine appointment ". The doctor asked us to wait for him so he can squeeze us in. We ended up waiting 1 hour and a half. After that another doc came in and said he has a few minutes to see if he can help. We politely declined since we didn't know him and the issue we went in for was pretty serious and it would've taken more than a few minutes. As we were leaving, I asked the lady at the front desk to remove the appointment and don't file an insurance claim since we weee not seen. She relied" we already removed you As a patient" . So no, I do not recommend this practice because of the front desk staff and their inability to do their job properly and respect their patients. Unfortunately, we had to part ways with the doctor that my daughter had since birth because of this incident. It's my impression that ncp see their patients as $ only and do not care about making them comfortable and heard as they are dealing with their health issues.

I recently took my 2-year-old daughter to CAHA for scheduled vaccines. Due to our religious…read morebeliefs, we do not consume pork products, so I explained that we had researched the MMR vaccine options and understood that the version commonly used in the U.S. contains porcine gelatin while the version available in England does not. I asked whether the office could sign a religious exemption form for school while we arranged to receive the alternative vaccine elsewhere, and we planned to proceed with the other vaccines during that visit. What concerned me most was that Dr. Gupta confidently told me the opposite -- that the England vaccine contained pork and the U.S. version did not. As a parent, I rely on healthcare professionals to be informed about the ingredients and contents of the vaccines they administer, especially when families are asking sincere religious or medical questions. It was disappointing to experience what appeared to be a lack of knowledge on such an important topic. Initially, the conversation was polite, and Dr. Gupta mentioned that my daughter's primary pediatrician could sign the exemption paperwork upon returning. However, after I relayed that the school needed the form sooner if possible, the tone of the interaction changed significantly. Dr. Gupta returned and stated, "We're not going to sign this," in a manner that felt unnecessarily passive-aggressive and dismissive. She then abruptly took the form back while I was reaching for it, which left me feeling uncomfortable and honestly shocked by how differently I was being treated compared to moments earlier. Thankfully, Dr. Tee later came in and handled the situation with kindness, professionalism, and compassion. She calmly explained that the office no longer signs religious exemptions and reassured us that my daughter could still receive the other vaccines we came in for. I truly appreciated her respectful communication and willingness to listen. I want to be clear that this review is not about CAHA as a whole, as we have had excellent experiences with several physicians there, including Dr. Tee, Dr. Lee, Dr. Sulley, and Dr. Mikhail. The practice overall has many wonderful and knowledgeable providers. However, based on this experience, I would personally encourage parents to ask questions and ensure they feel fully informed and respected when discussing care with Dr. Gupta.

As a new mom, I know I've probably asked questions she has heard a million times before, but she never makes me feel rushed, dismissed, or silly for asking. She takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure we feel completely comfortable and informed. Because of Dr. Brito, I feel so much more confident as a mom and confident that our daughter is healthy, thriving, and on the right track. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as our pediatrician. The nursing staff is also exceptional, especially Vicky. I honestly don't know how many emails and exchanges I had with her during that first month as a new mom, and every single time she was incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She made what can be such an overwhelming time feel so much more manageable. Having someone so responsive and compassionate on the other end of all of those new-parent questions meant more than she probably realizes. Dr. Brito, Vicky, and the team are truly the best. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

My son has been a patient here for seven years, and I've finally decided we will not be returning…read more At his recent seven-year checkup, I received a $130 bill because the office tried to classify it as a "double visit." After multiple calls and days of waiting, I was told the charge wouldn't be covered because I had asked for a letter for speech therapy. Even worse, the original explanation given to me was that we were charged because "autism was brought up" during the visit. This is absolutely unacceptable. My son has been on the spectrum --why would I be charged extra for discussing his health during a well visit? If this was truly a "double visit," that should have been communicated upfront, not hidden in the billing process. It feels dishonest and misleading. Families who already have enough to manage should not have to fight surprise charges or be made to feel like discussing their child's diagnosis is somehow billable. After this experience, I cannot recommend this office. Parents deserve transparency, compassion, and honesty in their child's care, and unfortunately, that is not what we received here.

She has changed our daughter's life in a time when we were stranded in the healthcare system and in need an advocate, confidant, friend, quarterback, and counselor for our family, especially for our little one, who faces more medical challenges than most children. We had found ourselves ignored at larger city pediatric groups and were recommended to Dr. Weems, a decision that we are thankful for every single day. Dr. Weems is incredibly caring, compassionate, forthright, knowledgeable and brings a down-to-earth, parent-to-parent approach to our daughter's care. Plus, it is unbelievably apparent how much she truly cares about our little one on a personal level. There are very few days where we don't talk, check-in and just connect on the happenings in our complicated medical situation. We often rely on her as a pillar of support and to help us when we don't know where to turn. She is truly the backbone of our greater support team and she works with all of our doctors at Lurie's, visits our daughter in the hospital and does ANYTHING she can to provide world-class care. As a parent, the most important thing is the health and well-being of our children and to feel like we have a partner in this convoluted healthcare system that has our best interests in mind. Dr. Weems has enriched our daughter's life and we will be forever thankful for her care.

Also, the doctor I selected for my daughter's "official" pediatrician, Dr. Asha, is here so I figured I'd need to go here if I wanted to use her. Though we haven't been able to see Dr. Asha but for the time she was on rounds in the hospital after I gave birth a few weeks ago, we have been able to see Dr. Akta, whom we also met in the hospital. Dr. Akta is great, very friendly and good with my newborn. The check-in staff were friendly as well, and the nurse asked if we wanted her to wear a mask (yep! Still masking when out and about and especially with a newborn who has no immune system). The waiting area is similar to the other locations, with books, an aquarium, and whatnot to keep little ones occupied. This location seems particularly large and has a second floor--though I don't know those are exam rooms; it seemed like it was a space for something else. They also have several parking spots in their private lot, and given their location in the South Loop there's lots of street parking around as well.

The doctor we saw initially didn't do a great job at answering a lot of my questions, and I wound up crying the whole drive home. I was worried that if I made an appointment with one of the other practitioners that I'd offend the first one or that it meant I was being a bad parent. I finally made an appointment with another doctor after three other medical professionals gently recommended that we try a different doctor. It's not that the practitioners weren't competent (they were!), but the communication style left a lot to be desired. It's so important for your child that they have a doctor that you as the parent can also trust. Definitely feel empowered to find the doctor you feel most confident with. Other great things: - Once we found practitioners we did click with - they were absolutely fantastic. Easy to communicate with and answered questions clearly. - I've only great experiences with the front desk staff. I'm not saying this to invalidate the other reviews, just saying that I've had a totally different experience. They've been responsive, friendly, and helpful. - They offer walk-ins, a 24/7 nurse line, and house calls. We haven't had to use any of these, but I feel so secure as a parent knowing that we have such accessible care in the event that it is needed. - Great book selection in the waiting room. The Carrot Seed? Classic.
