This review is long overdue. I have been a patient of Dr. Patawaran for 8 years. He's a compassionate, knowledgeable doctor who looks beyond traditional medicine and treats the whole patient. When I lost my Mom, he was calling to see how I was -- and has seen me through some difficult health issues and I feel tremendously cared for. The health team is phenomenal and Kari and Cindy also are tremendous wellness practitioners who augment the practice with reiki, massage, and acupuncture. I have been suffering from autoimmune disease since I was a teenager and thanks to Dr. P and his incredible team (including Alejandro!) - I feel like I am present and functional for my family and career. I am so grateful for this team and their integrative approach to whole health. read more

i have had multiple egregious experiences with I Squared Medical, but today was the defining moment. I had an appointment with Kari for a body massage. I was told to sign a consent for acupuncture. I explained that I would sign a consent for a body massage and not acupuncture unless I was properly evaluated and was considered medically necessary. I have been a medical practice manager for 32 years and I am NOT going to be coerced into signing a consent for an un agreed to procedure. I was asked to leave. I Squared Medical is an unethical practice. read more

I was one of Dr Patawaran's first patients. Not only did he make sure I would not see another doctor or he would not see me again I spent a fortune on supplements, IV treatments (2 yrs of glutathione) meds and trusted him. I didn't get better at all! Then after spending a fortune he went boutique leaving me in the dust. It's a money racket and it practically bankrupted me. Staff is rude which says a lot about a doctor. My current doctor also verified that I was taken advantage of. Years of purging money and then he has the nerve to ask me for 10k. Feel free to contact me for more information. He will make you feel special, you will have a hard time getting anyone if you call and if you see another doctor in the practice they are incompetent and also not very nice. One guy is sweet but he is clueless. I thought of taking legal action being dumped for not being able to afford his new boutique practice. Again feel free to contact me for any questions you have.

Dr. Patawaran was able to provide me with an accurate diagnosis in the first appointment (he confirmed it with testing). In the previous 12 years I saw at least 7 different integrative doctors- from Osher, the Raby Institute, and North Shore/ Endeavor Health. No one was able to give me a diagnosis that made sense or led to healing. Most implied my symptoms were purely psychological. In addition to making an accurate diagnosis, Dr. Patawaran has been able to provide medications and supplements that help with sleep and energy. I've also made some lifestyle changes such as using a sauna and avoiding environmental toxins. I've been gradually improving over the past 6 months and I'm continuing to improve. Dr. Patawaran, Alejandro, and the entire office staff are all kind, patient people, and I find going to the office to be a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Dr. Patawaran- and I have referred friends and family to him. read more

Warning to future patients--Aaron Minarik is strictly tele-health and doesn't come into the office per I-Squared Front Desk. There is nothing about this on the website so when I booked an initial appointment with Aaron I assumed my appointment was at the office 939 West North Ave. I received no telehealth reminders about a potential call and my appointment confirmation in their patient portal says nothing about this. I have voicemails from the office staff (Latrice) left on 1/6, 1/15, 1/27 and 1/28 requiring more confidential information but mentioning nothing about my appointment being telehealth related. I arrived early, spoke with the manager and requested to use an office or private room on-site for this telehealth call. The manager said there were no rooms available but I was welcome to use the public lobby to discuss my medical history. What sort of doctor's office doesn't have private exam rooms? What sort of doctor's office doesn't do an initial examination for new patients? The manager just kept emphasising that I would be charged for same day cancellations as I was standing in their lobby at 2:15pm for my 2:30pm appointment. Even more disconcerting were the multiple voicemail phones left for myself and my husband requesting private information such as my health insurance card, drivers license, my address, and credit card information to be sent to a personal gmail account because quote "there was no way to enter it in the patient portal." Overall, this event speaks volumes about this business. Office staff that don't communicate details of appointments, medical staff that don't come in the office and a patient portal that is not designed to hold private information. Proceed at your own risk. read more

I was desperate to find answers to my health issues and was hopeful to explore a more holistic route. I have been experiencing weight gain, fatigue and frequent light headedness to the point where I often blackout for a moment when I stand. I saw 2 different doctors at the practice; I booked with a woman originally and she must have called out so I had an apt with a man. When I mentioned light headedness he pretty much rolled his eyes and said we need to do a heart test. The apt felt stagnant so I made another visit to see a female dr, of course i paid for both apts. That dr told me to do squats and sold me on the $100 body scan. They did not suggest to draw blood and check hormones. I feel bamboozled and like they are just a money hungry practice. I felt dismissed and disrespected, i did not feel as though the drs cared at all about my well being or assisting in solving my health issues. I would not recommend this practice to anyone. read more

I had been a patient for multiple years and never had any improvement. Dr Patawaran I can do a very thorough review of as I had been his patient of multiple years. He is unprofessional and unskilled with management of my health care . Dr patawaran and the name of his practice ," Isquared" yet beware now dr Patawaran only now takes concierge patients and no others and on top of concierge he will bill your insurance fully and charge for recommended supplements and extra testing out of pocket that has NOT helped me . I am very unhappy with his skills as a doctor . His specialty is lymes and mold doctor but where is the primary care that should be front and center? After spending lots of money on tests and supplements I am not better and much worse . He prescribed an antibiotic doxycycline for many months and telling me I had lymes after the testing my husband and I would tell him that the results are all negative also after several top Chicago infectious disease hospitals telling me I have no lymes but dr P did not agree and persisted . I still am not recovered from stomach and larynx serious problems from his many months he put me on doxycycline yet didn't warn me of what long term antibiotic use can negatively do to my body. It's a trendy form of medicine .i can't afford concierge which he only takes now AND bills you higher then the norm plus taking your insurance money on top of concierge fees. Dr Patawaran was not thorough and I had to rely on my own specialists, ...beware of his bedside manner which is slick ,yet this trait does not match his poor skills and professionalism as a doctor sadly. Majority of staff are snobby and practice manager Jiga and the company isquared and dr patawaran doesn't follow the laws of HIPPA :in the United States if you as a patient asks for your records sent to you personally they must which is your right as a patient, they originally told me no and "will send to a doctor only ", but eventually must have listened to a lawyer( still haven't received but will update )YET HIPPA laws they have violated still as of yet is a patient has a legal right to amend their medical record if they see things that are wrong. This the practice manager, dr patawaran and the company I squared has NOT done and acted illegally and ignored my amendments thus far and my letter asking for this which by law they have violated a united stated law of HIPPA in regards to patients right to amend their records if patient see anything that is a mistake or false the patient has right to amend and if the doctor or practice refuses they must add patient amendment on the record which dr patawaran and owners have violated the law by NOT amending . For myself as a patient I need as paramount for my care is a doctor who heals and upholds the Hippocratic oath which means," heal and do no harm" and I have been harmed with too much antibiotics to ruin my stomach and larynx due to his lymes regimen that I am still struggling with today and lack of care as a physician as he never once did a checklist of a yearly physical which is the norm as a pcp .toxic atmosphere of snobbiness and bullying this patient experienced here which is a whole other review that i cant fit here. I regret ever wasting years at this practice . Waste of money, time and serious medical complex issues that hasn't been improved yet degenerated partly due to dr patawarans negligence i am sad to report . read more

I am so glad that I switched to Dr Patawaran at I-Squared Medical Group. He's smart, thorough and careful. I have nothing but praise.

When you visit a doctor, don't you often question their diagnosis? Can you not help but think this person puts the "practice" in practicing medicine? Are you often sitting there thinking "I need to get a second opinion"? Dr. Patawaran is in elite company of doctors that really know what they are talking about, take the time to explain it so you understand and present options in approaching solutions for your condition or ailments. The staff is top notch and incredibly friendly. Hard to get in to see him but if you, or someone you know have any environmental related medical issues, you need to come to this practice. It will be life changing. read more
