Its 2015 and I am here to tell my experiences with the help of God, Doctor Mohammed Siddique and…read moreVictory Hospital ( Now Vista) in Waukegan Illinois This all began in January of 1999 I was in Cleveland Ohio on business and woke up in a hotel room in middle of the night I had a crunching chest pains and did nothing about it. I got through that thinking everything will be fine. By the time May of 1999, I was short of breath and my heart was racing and my legs were swollen. and I knew by then I needed to make an appointment. It progressively got worse. I decided to call Doctor Siddique who took over medical practice of Doctor Albert Behn who retired and was my Doctor for years. I drove my car to his office thinking I was not going to make it. I could barley make it from the car to his office without loosing my walking abilities. It was that bad. Doctor Siddique took one look at me and did not hesitate to have me lay on my back and immediately had an E K G test done. He quickly read it and said , you need to be taken by ambulance to the hospital right away. We have a serious problem here. After the arrival the hospital ran test after test and discovered my Lungs are 95 % blocked with blood clots. They rushed me into Critical Care and installed an I V with a heavy supply of heparin. Later than evening, it wasn't working. My condition had worsen and I could not rest. My heart was beating so fast it and enlarged the heart muscle. Doctor Siddique immediately ordered T P A, which is a clot buster given to Heart Attack patients. After injection the care nurse said, it is in God's hands now and sat with me the rest of the night. I knew then, I might not make it. The following morning a woke up and the nurse was by my side and said your awake and were going to an Echo cardiogram and see what the T P A has done. After tests, the results worked and I was on my way to recovery. When Doctor Siddique came in to see me, I grabbed his arm and thanked him and all the I. C. U staff for saving my life. I was so grateful that life was saved. Today I am on blood thinners everyday for the rest of my life. Since then I experienced two more blood clot attacks in 2000 and 2001 to the lungs and was hospitalized. It was decided to install a Vena Cava filter umbrella in my main artery. this would trap any blood clots that form in the legs and travel towards the heart so the blood thinner Coumadin can do its job by dissolving the Blood cot issue. My endless thank you goes to the immediate actions of Doctor Mohammed Siddique M.D.. Denny B.

Dr Cheng was our cardiologist for many years. He was an amazing Dr who really cared about his…read morepatients. Unfortunately due to life financially downs I had to stop going to his office. After years of being away I returned to his office but a little too late as his office closed shortly afterwards. After decades of service he retired. I really wish he was still available as I trusted him completed. I could not say much about the staff as I only saw them twice before the closure. Just wanted to thank Dr Cheng for being there for our family while he was in business. Location closed

My review is about the office staff. They tend to be disorganized, don't know the answers to…read morequestions. They are too tough for my liking, not aa gentile as some offices. I found I did not have a follow up appoint scheduled after some extensive heart therapy. I will get in a week later than I hoped, since I kept dogging the issue. Otherwise it would be weeks later. One of them yanked a cath out of my arm after a blood draw and my sleeve was soaked. They've cancelled my therapy a few times. I tried to cancel it and was told I would have to pay for it because it was less then 24 hours prior. It was 19 hours prior. I have a sinus infection and I'm exhausted, but I'm going. Don't deal with these girls. It's not worth it.

Plug ins are banned in European countries; they're always ahead of us Americans... I have to go here for my audiology appointments - Dr Hayden is wonderful BTW but has no control over the plug ins used in the ENT side of the office. Instant headache, lungs hurt all day after only a few minutes exposure in this office. Sometimes I m sick for a month or more with prolonged exposure. It's serious stuff. What are the ENT docs thinking??? They are obviously not using their brains or medical training.

I have very little mobility in my left shoulder and some mobility in my right should. I will never ever use IBJI again and I would suggest anyone that needs shoulder surgery finds another organization that actually cares about the results the patients receive. he basically left me hanging w no solution to my problems. the 2 shoulder surgeries have affected my ability to do anything that I enjoy. Dont use IBJi is the bottom line. now I have to find a lawyer that is willing to help me in the long run. IBJI only cares about making money not about their patients.

Dr. Villavicencio is by far the best MD I have come across. i waited a short while when i met her…read moreshe spent a lot of time with me and explained everything. Her knowledge as well as empathy made it obviously that I had found the MD I would be staying with.

We have taken our children to Fairview Pediatrics since both were born (2005,2009). We interviewed…read moreDr. Krakora Looby prior to our first child being born and felt that she was extremely helpful and provided needed comfort and guidance to two soon to be, nervous new parents. We decided then and there to use this group of physicians, even though it was a brand new practice. After my son was born, our first visit was with Dr. Krakora Looby. She took one look at him and immediately identified a broken collarbone on our son, which amazingly none of the doctors or nurses had bothered to notice at Condell when he was born! X Rays confirmed her eyeball diagnosis, which we still find to this day to be amazing, and gave him the proper attention he needed to properly heal. We had several appointments, as is expected with a newborn, and had to use both Dr. Fireman and Dr. Forsey on many occasions just because of scheduling. We were happy with all of the doctors, but found Dr. Forsey to have a wonderful bedside manner and personality, so we ended up switching to her for our primary pediatrician. I cannot say enough good things about her. Like a previous reviewer stated, you feel like family, not like a patient. Both our son and daughter have been going here for years now. Our son is now 13, and daughter 9. Whether we have gone through broken bones, RSV, chronic ear infections, fevers, flues, food allergies (or whatever life has thrown at us), these doctors have always been there for us! Note: Dr. Krakora Looby has recently retired, and Dr. Fireman has left the practice. Dr. Forsey is the only one left of the founding physicians. We have seen Dr. Lauftner and she is wonderful as well. Young and energetic. Have yet to see Dr. Fletcher, though I have heard good things.
