    TL;DR: If you have any anxiety about GYN exams or just need warmth and compassion from your…read moreproviders this is not the place for you. I left in tears. My experience getting my Annual Exam was abysmal. First, the office staff was gossiping in earshot of Pt's in the waiting room; I was also able to hear an insurance of another Pt review occurring (gives me privacy concerns). I could have overlooked these things as they are fairly minor IMO and happen everywhere. However, when I was called back, the nurse did introduce herself (standard/best practice in healthcare is to introduce yourself and your role), and did not smile the whole time I tried to talk to her. Yes, no one owes me emotional labor, however a small social smile welcoming a new Pt would have been nicer and helped put me at ease (and lets be honest, most people going to the GYN are at least a little anxious...PAPs are no fun). She was frustrated I did not want to be weighed (please note: it is valid to refuse any medical test, including weight) and was unsure of my exact weight in that very moment (she signed, rolled her eyes, and spoke in clipped speech). She was also visibly upset that I had not had a period in 10yrs due to having an IUD and therefore could not give her a "last period date." I tried explaining I had an IUD and couldn't remember the last time, but she continued to sigh heavily. It was at this point I decided to leave my appointment. I have worked in healthcare (hospital and private practice settings) for 15yrs and I understand frustration with Pt's who don't know answers or who don't go with the flow (ex refusing to be weighed), but to treat someone with increasing hostility because they don't know answers is not good practice. I become so upset I began to have a panic attack and shake and was on the verge of tears and I am not typically that kind of person. It takes A LOT for me to feel so uncomfortable I have to leave a place. Gynecology is a sensitive speciality dealing with extremely sensitive and personal matters, to have staff who treat Pts as adversaries is not acceptable. Further more when I left no one expressed concern over why a Pt would be so upset they would have to leave an important medical exam. The doctor was standing right there looking at me and said nothing. This is not a practice interested in doing better, this is NOT a practice for you if you have any level of anxiety or need any warmth or compassion from your providers. It's also not the practice for you in you care about your HIPAA rights (ex. having insurance calls with doors open where Pt's can hear in the waiting room).

    Dr Jensen has been my doctor for 20+ years. She delivered 2 of my children. Do appts sometimes run…read morelate? Yes. Has she had to cancel a time or two due to having to actually deliver a baby? Yes. Thats the nature of this specialty. I am honestly shocked by all of the negative reviews here. Dr Jensen has never been anything but forthcoming, honest and compassionate, especially during my times of pregnancy loss. I agree with the other reviewer that this feels like Duly has forced her out. The letter received about her departure was short and vague. If Dr Jensen is choosing to retire, why not just say that? Duly certainly has their hand in this one, once again putting profits over patients.

    I just heard Dr. Jensen is leaving Duly. She has been my doctor for over 30 years and I will miss…read moreher. I see a lot of people complaining that she ran late for appointments. This did not bother me because I knew she was willing to spend as much time with each patient as they needed. She would stay and answer questions and was one of the most knowledgeable, caring, and hard working physicians I have ever known. I believe that Duly forced her departure with their neverending push for profitability. It just doesn't pay off for private equity when doctors spend too much time with the patients. I will be looking for a new doctor outside of the Duly umbrella. Good luck to you Dr. Jensen and thank-you for helping me bring my two amazing daughters into this world. You will be missed!!!

    I am a middle aged woman who was starting to really feel the effects of my age. My primary wanted…read moreto put me on prozac when I brought up HRT, and I knew that was not the answer for me. Luckily, I had a friend who was a patient at Dr. Wright's office and recommended I call to check them out. I made sure they were covered by my insurance plan first, and made an appointment. The initial appointment is very thorough, I had a pap, ultrasound, ans testing, and bloodwork done. They made sure my insurance covered it all before I stepped through the door. My consult with the nurse practitioner, Yolanda, was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, smart, funny, and really made sure I understood my options. She's been treating me for the past 6 months, and I feel so much better! I am back to my old self, and feel like a veil that I had been living under has been lifted! No more hip pain, my hair loss has stopped, and I feel energetic and can sleep again. The office is very fancy by my standards. You're offered a beverage when you check in, there's a beverage station in the waiting area, and they offer snacks after the blood draws. Everyone that I've encountered at the office has been so pleasant and I am so thankful to have found this practice. It's been life changing, and I am always recommending it to women my age who are feeling the negative effects of aging.

    Same as others with the billing department. I've been going for years and for the past 7 visits I…read moreget calls prior to my appointment telling me I owe $300+, but my insurance covers all except my copay. I refuse to pay each time their "estimated " cost and miraculously I don't end up paying because my insurance covered it like I've said countless times. I have spoken to Joe the director of billing he's rude and argumentative and does t give a clear explanation. It comes off like he's trying to run some fraud with billing. Please beware before you are paying estimated costs. They conveniently never told me the onetime I paid it that my insurance paid it and I had to argue with Joe for my refund. Always let your insurance go through first before you give a dime to this place.

    This review is for the OB/GYN female doctor at this location. This was my first gyn when I moved…read moreback to the chicagoland area and boy did I get a wake up call. On the first visit, I was asked whether I was planning on having kids and when I answered not really, not in the near future, a diatribe took place on the benefits of never saying never and the rewards of bearing kids. I really felt like I was being analyzed as customer life revenue source. On the last visit, the doctor proceeded to read the nurse's notes on a question I wanted to ask her and had her raise her voice at me about how nonsensical it was to think a condition my mother had would have anything to do with me. Before asking me to clarify. I have known other individuals to have had perfect relationships with the doctor, and with the staff in general, but for me, this is definitely NOT a location I feel safe in to obtain objective medical care. I felt judged and attacked.

    I hate the dreaded annual exam as much as the next girl. Seriously, can't you just give me the…read moreanti-baby pills 'script and send me on my way? Also, why is it that when you show up on time for your appointment, you always end up waiting anyway? Seriously by now I should know better than to arrive on time. (This goes for any appointments, not just this location, obv). My appointment was at 4:30 and I didn't leave until 6:00. My doctor didn't even see me until 5:55! It's not fun sitting in a cold ass room in a paper gown in the middle of January for 45 minutes, amirite? Ugh. Thank god it's only a once a year thing. I've been seeing Dr. Szwedo for at least ten years now. I previously had a different doctor but her bedside manner was less than ideal and she spent more time lecturing me about dental and general practitioner visits. You know, stuff completed unrelated to the reason for my visit. I gave that whackadoo the boot and was going to hunt for a new doc, but I lucked out as Dr. Szwedo was in the same building but a slightly different practice group. Dr. Szwedo is so nice and I've never once felt uncomfortable with her. She always asks if I'm still "living in sin" and while I'd be offended if anyone else asked that, it makes me crack up when she asks. Hopefully someday I'll give her a different answer and totally shock her. Last year as we were wrapping up the visit she asked if I wanted to continue with my same prescription, and I answered affirmatively. I've been on the BCP for 18 years, and well, "it it ain't broke, don't fix it." She did bring up other options for me and said if I ever wanted to change my mind, she'd be glad to help me out. She's fully aware that I'm childfree by choice and plan to stay that way, and she never tries to throw the ol' "oh you'll change your mind someday" spiel at me. It's much appreciated since being childfree by choice is so hard for people to understand, let alone accept. For anyone on the hunt for a friendly, non-judgmental doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Szwedo.
