I went in for a routine pap and check up on BCBS IL Blue Choice Preferred PPO Gold insurance. Dr…read more Weizner seems nice enough, but he perhaps implemented procedures during that check up that were unnecessary, because the next thing I know, my insurance is billing me $400 for what should have been a completely free check up. Mind you, I'm in perfect health and have no complications that would require non-routine procedures (like the ultrasound was not covered for example... I'm not pregnant.. I'm not totally sure what the ultrasound was for). When I contacted Dr. Weitzner's office, they contacted the BCBS office for me, but to no avail. I've had other check ups at other offices and never had a bill to pay at the end. When I explained my situation to his office (and spoke with him directly), they wouldn't budge on any of the billing or give me a break of any kind. Dr. Weitzner should be more up front when he is implementing procedures that aren't considered routine, so patients have an idea of what to expect in terms of billing.

Unprofessional, heartless, and completely devoid of empathy…read more My very first ultrasound here and as a FTM was unfortunately a terrible experience. I was publicly scolded in the hallway, near the waiting area, as I'm exiting the bathroom (hadn't even closed the door yet) by the ultrasound tech for using the bathroom before my appointment. My doctor never informed me a full bladder was required, yet when I explained I had been in agonizing discomfort, and was unaware of this rule, the tech doubled down, shamed me, and told me I "should have read the packet." "Didn't you get a folder?" "It was in the instructions" "Okay well I guess we can try it anyway, cmon let's go!!" - as I'm attempting to grab my things from the waiting room" No grace, no understanding--just public humiliation while vulnerable and pregnant. My husband and I were so taken aback and stood there, completely stunned. What should have been a beautiful moment to see my baby was robbed by the hostility of the tech. It only got worse. When I immediately broke down to NP Rachel about how deeply upsetting and unprofessional the tech's behavior was, she stared at me with ice-cold indifference. As I sat there crying, she didn't offer a single apology, acknowledgement of what I just shared with her or even a tissue as I'm crying (I literally can't make this up) Instead, she completely washed her hands of the situation, telling me to "talk to Michelle on your way out, she handles all that stuff" Now I'm frustrated, I say "Ok, and who is Michelle? And what "stuff does she handle" "Are you at least going to put this in my notes" NP Rachel - "She is the office manager and she just knows and has experience handling all of that, so yeah she'd be the one to talk to" lmao WHAT?! I'm now flabbergasted by her response and complete dismissal. Never have I had a provider tell me to take my concerns about PATIENT CARE to an office manager. I am your patient, not the office manager's. To top it off, Michelle was conveniently on "break," and my promised follow-up call never happened. It took an entire week and me officially requesting my medical records to transfer care for anyone to even acknowledge me and then I was told the sticky note to call me was lost on Michelle's desk. The incompetence is crazy at this point. Aside from two lovely receptionists named Renee and Maria, this entire practice is a cold, unprofessional failure. If you want to be treated like a human being during your pregnancy, stay far away from this place!!!

Dr Belmonte performed an invasive surgery on me without numbing me in any way. Every doctor I've…read moreasked after having this surgery done to me has said they would have numbed the area with local anesthesia first. She cut into me with a scalpel and ignored me wailing in pain. I asked before the procedure if I could be numbed and she said that's not how it's done, which by every account, is a lie. I asked if I could have a moment to think about it beforehand, she declined. This woman is cruel and in no way cares about her patients. Please, spare your wellbeing and don't see this doctor. I could cry just thinking about this experience. I don't understand how this was allowed to happen. And to top it all off, the surgery was ineffective.

Dr. Butler seems friendly, but my appointment felt rushed. Everything I said was completely…read moredismissed as normal, even though I am in so much pain, and it's consistently getting worse. After trying to explain each month I can hardly walk or even stand up she told me cardio would help. This appointment made me feel so hopeless, I've never cried in a doctors office until yesterdays appointment. She told me she "didn't want me to feel like she was just throwing a pill at me" but that's exactly what happened. I wasn't able to explain myself, and I think it really comes down to me being young. I'm only 20, but I know my body, I've been going through my cycles for nearly 9 years, and I didn't feel heard. I tried to make it clear that my menstrual cycle is nearly tearing my life apart and I don't even know if I can make it through another month, but she told me to come back in 4 months to see if anything changed. I tried being as open minded as possible, and I understand that she is busy, but this just added to my negative experiences of women's health care. This doctor would be great for someone looking for reassurance that they're healthy, but if you feel that something is wrong, based off my experience, I would NOT recommend this doctor. Unfortunately, especially if you are young :(

I am still in shock by how rude Dr. Butler was. I have never written a yelp review before but I…read morefeel compelled to warn others. I came to Dr. Butler with concerns about chronic pain in my vulva. Over the course of the ten minutes she spent we me she proceeded to blame my recent weight gain, tell me I was "being dramatic", and condescend to me for using the wrong medical terms about a condition I did not know about until that visit. On top of her overall horrible bedside manner, she was unnecessarily rough while examining me causing me to cry out in pain. When I did so she asked me why I was acting like I was in pain despite the fact that I was there because of pain in my vulva. After having complications with a medication she prescribed me I returned to the office to find out what was wrong. After waiting with my clothes off for a full half hour she chided me for returning over something "so minor" and then preceded to act as though I was making up that she prescribed me the medication that cost me $120 with insurance. When she finally found the note that she had in fact prescribed this medication she completely dismissed my concerns. I have now left her office crying twice because of her rough treatment and I advise anyone looking for a gyno in the city to steer clear.

I had a doctor's appointment today at 3:15. I even called ahead and asked if she was on schedule because I had a class across town that i didn't want to be late for. I arrived early and was taken into the exam room at 3:00pm. I was initially grateful for them to take me early. Boy, was I wrong. After my vitals were taken by the nurse, I was left in the cold exam room with nothing but my gown on for the next hour. This is totally inexcusable. They could have left me in the waiting room, fully clothed, reading a magazine if the doctor wasn't ready. But instead, they leave you in this awkward and uncomfortable situation. I got dressed and got ready to leave, but not before breaking down. I have had health problems in the past that make going to this type of doctor stressful enough without being left alone naked in an exam room. They did not even offer to validate my parking on my way out. I called to let them know to have the doctor call me because I was upset that I had paid $21.00 in parking, waited an hour after my appt. time, etc. I got a call later NOT from the doctor, but from one of her staff apologizing and telling me they made an appt. for Feb. 13th. Lame. The fact that they couldn't accomodate me earlier given the circumstance is inexcusable. I was also informed that a transfer of my medical records would be $35.00. Total, utter bullshit. I left my last doctor for the same reason. They are a business, just like any other and I DO have a choice. And I choose to not be treated with such disregard for my feelings and time.

28 years, first pregnancy Weight Before Pregnancy: 130,…read moreWeight at 39 weeks: 188 Delivery on May 23, 2009 Dr. Gomez: The purpose of this review is to share the positive experience that I had in having Dr. Gomez as my attending physician. As an associate to my midwives, Dr. Gomez is part of a team that ensures healthy and safe delivery by acting as the physician responsible for any necessary Cesarean sections. Birth Plan Summary : Natural birth using the ABC (Alternate Birthing Center) at West Suburban Medical Center, Oak Park, IL. My birth partner (husband) and I attended a Bradley Method course prior to delivery with Suzanne Craig. Our intention was to maximize the Midwifery philosophy with little to no intervention using the water birth approach. The midwives as West Suburban Midwife Association attended to our medical screenings and were on-call for our delivery. Before my delivery, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gomez where we discussed his role as an associate to the midwives and he answered all of my questions about c-sections, statistics, etc. My Delivery: During my labor, I experienced a failure to descend; when I would push, my baby's heartbeat dangerously slow down. During this ordeal, Dr. Gomez was called in by my on-call midwife on a Saturday morning. He was present and waiting to see if a section would be requested or deemed necessary. When it was determined that I could not deliver vaginally, Dr. Gomez ensured that a section was what I wanted. He did not rush the procedure; I had to request it. During the worst of my pain, as I was experiencing contractions every minute without the ability to push my baby past a certain point, I grabbed Dr. Gomez as begged him to help me. Despite my insistence Dr. Gomez took the steps to ensure that the procure was the right thing to do, at the right time, with proper permission. In other words, he was not in a rush to perform the c-section. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Gomez's presence in my delivery. He ensured that the life of my baby was never jeopardized. Though the midwifery philosophy is my personal choice, the fundamental truth is that unpredictable variables intervene in child birth. Some of these circumstances are serious and threaten the life of the mother, baby, or both. Dr. Gomez's presence as part of the team at West Suburban Midwife Association is essential and his contribution significant. When a c-section is required Dr. Gomez is there for you with your best interest in mind, he is a respected and an exceptional surgeon known for his phenomenal work. The entire staff that I encountered at West Suburban Medical Center had nothing but admiration for his skill. When I went to have my staples removed, all of the midwives and nurses took turns looking at his work complimenting his precision and the location of the incision in that it was at a natural crease and discrete. Thanks to Dr. Gomez, I can now enjoy my life with my baby, Genivieve.

He is the ob/gyn associated with West Suburban Midwives, but other than one appointment, you'll…read moreonly see him for a c-section or some other big problem. So we saw him for an appointment. It really was only just to meet him so he isn't a stranger later on. He didn't take a pulse or look at charts or anything. I think they could have done this as a group and cut down on time and money. I'm glad Insurance was picking up the tab for this chat. In any event, Dr. Gomez is very nice and there is mutual appreciation and respect between him and the midwives. I'm comfortable with him, but I hope we're not in the circumstances to see him again.

I switched OB's due to insurance changes and my former OB and friend recommended Levy, and I couldn't have been happier!! Throughout my pregnancy and delivery Dr. Levy was fantastic. He has a very calm disposition, and really gets to know his patients. He always made me feel comfortable, spent time answering all my questions, and his bedside manner was great...he's super smart and thorough. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. He really is one of those doctors that gives you the "warm fuzzies," which is needed during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Also, at my six week check-up the office gave me a Swarovski crystal necklace of my sons birthstone...what other Doctor goes the extra mile and gives his patients a push present? It's unbelievable how generous that is. The midwifes that work with him are also amazing...I wanted to be friends with them because they were so wonderful. The nurses and staff go out of there way to remember you, and are always so kind. With all that being said, look no further, this is the best OBGYN! You will get the best care here!!

I will always be grateful for some of the great doctors here: Dr. Walz-Buscher who literally stood…read morewith me and kept me calm during my (unexpected) spinal/c-section, for Dr. McGee's gentle humor and knowledge, and for Dr. Chi's support postpartum. However, many things throughout the last half of my high-risk pregnancy were not ok and for that reason I stopped going to this practice and would caution others against it until some staff improves. Long story short, I followed Dr. McGee from another practice mid-(high risk) pregnancy. Moving wasn't ideal, but I had no other option due to my status and felt she was worth it. It seems though that when she and many of her patients moved over, the staff at both locations, particularly Hinsdale that is smaller and less staffed (as I was continually reminded) became overloaded and at least in my case it was taken out on me. I was kind, patient and appreciative from the beginning for any appointments I got, but was frankly repeatedly treated like crap by Norma at the front desk. And I'm not talking about a bad day, I'm talking about any time I was told by the doctor to make another appointment or further things I needed to do I dreaded it because the attitude and push-back I received was awful. She would blatantly ignore me when I came in for appointments, leave me holding for several minutes or hanging up if I called. The last straw was being there in the waiting room one evening with my (Spanish-speaking) husband and him overhearing her making fun of me in Spanish with the medical assistant Yesenia. Yesenia was very rough with NSTs-always complaining at the outset that I had an anterior placenta and she didn't know if she could get a sound of my baby, threatening that if not I'd have to go all the way downtown to Prentice. The last time I had one she was moving my stomach so much it hurt. I almost didn't get my breast pump in time for delivery because they supposedly didn't receive a form that was faxed by the company, twice. When I requested a note several weeks after delivery to clear me to return to work I was again met with attitude. The most basic of things that we all need were somehow a huge issue. She brought a level of professionalism when a doctor was (rarely) in the room with her and as soon as we were alone, that disappeared. Once, my husband arrived separately to accompany me for an appointment and they ignored him in the waiting room until he asked where I was. Understandably, these incidents increased my stress and blood pressure so I stopped coming to this office, driving the extra distance to the downtown office which never once had an issue conducting an NST or scheduling (in fact, I suspect many of the poor reviews at the downtown location referencing poor customer service are tied to Norma, who also answers the main line). Imagine trying for years to get pregnant and making it to the finish line, and this being the experience you dreamed you'd get to have. It was just cruel. Simply, there needs to be a staffing change or at least better training/oversight.
