Then he asks you questions about your malady, investigates different treatment options, and even takes the time to educate you on your condition. He's also a model of patience and persistence. I was a little lazy about using the peak flow test at first, but Dr. Handoyo didn't get annoyed. He just explained the importance of getting a good baseline record of my lung capacity and how it would help him to provide the best treatment, so I made a commitment to be a better patient. With the pandemic and his specialty, I know he is at a greater risk than other doctors, so I especially appreciate his professionalism and efforts to ensure the health and safety of his patients.

Not only has she taught me many ways to build back up my strength, but shared a ton of new ideas to strengthen my core, etc. to manage this back injury moving forward. Via in person, emails AND print outs. Meredith makes my sessions fly by bc she chats with me and kept up a positive attitude of how I WILL get back to being my active self...but that I needed to learn that slow and steady really is the way to do it. I cannot say enough great things - you must go see her. You will not be disappointed and it will be so worth your time and money/insurance co-pay. Joni and Sally are also amazing! They were super communicative, helpful and patient with my insurance paperwork (read: delays) and were always rooting for me to get better. They also proactively helped me schedule my preferred appointment times. Wonderful experience for my first time doing PT!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I came in here a couple of months ago in crippling pain and almost unable to walk. Having had hip…read moreand knee issues in the past, I chalked it up to overuse/weak joints. Meredith, the PT, was efficient and able to see me right away. At one of the sessions, she used an ultrasound machine that I was almost tempted to buy for my own home, it was that good. The exercises were well explained and I like having the emailed video that I can turn to as a refresher. The main draws of this location, at least for me, are proximity (walking/limping distance from my condo) and the relative privacy of the treatment rooms. Postscript: I later found out that the source of my pain was a fractured femoral neck. Hard to believe that I had been walking around on it for almost a month, not to mention doing my assigned exercises faithfully. The PT needed to be tabled in favor of more aggressive treatment (surgery and pinning). Here I will note that Meredith made a point of calling me after my surgery, to see how everything was going. Considering that we had only had a few sessions before I received my diagnosis, I would definitely say that this level of caring and concern went above and beyond. If I need physical therapy in the future, I will definitely be including this place on my short list of options, and do not hesitate to recommend it to either the dedicated athlete or weekend warrior in need of strengthening and rehabilitation.

If you're considering going to PT for pelvic floor or other general PT help, then run (if you can),…read moredon't walk to Chicago Physical Therapists. This is a top notch practice with highly skilled and compassionate physical therapists. I went there for both prenatal and postpartum physical therapy (pelvic floor and other PT work). Before working with Meredy and Natalia, I had never had pelvic floor PT before. I knew I probably needed it but was nervous about getting that kind of therapy. Long story short: I should have gone to these therapists YEARS ago for pelvic floor PT before I ever got pregnant... they would have helped so much with general issues I was having! Prenatal PT: I contacted Chicago Physical Therapists in Spring 2022 late in my second trimester when I heard a "What to Expect" podcast about how beneficial pelvic floor PT could be for childbirth. After booking an initial consultation with Meredy, she encouraged me to double check with my OBGYN that it was okay to proceed with pelvic floor PT (my OBGYN said yes). Because Meredy was completely booked for over a month due to her high demand, I started PT work with Natalia, following a started a schedule of seeing either Natalia or Meredy up to near my due date. I really appreciated how excellent, respectful, and compassionate both therapists were. Natalia and Meredy kept their each other updated about my progress and there were no discrepancies in their care. I learned so much about how to relax the pelvic area to prepare for pushing a baby out, breathing techniques for relaxing for any cervical checks the doctors would do while I was in labor. When it came time for the real deal childbirth with a last minute unexpected labor induction, I was able to handle the internal exams and water breaking and delay pain medication (which was my desire) for most of the labor time. Postpartum PT: Meredy and Natalia were proactive in getting me scheduled as soon as possible for PT postpartum. Due to many non-physical factors I canceled some of the appointments and chose to not get examined until 3 months postpartum. In the interim, both therapists checked in with me to let me know that I could be added to the waitlist for openings if there were any appointment cancellations or to offer telehealth in case I was available or up for it. The postpartum therapy has been going great, with tips and exercises I can do at home to promote getting my pelvic floor, abdomen, and other out-of-whack parts of me restored post birth. Billing practices: I saw a negative Yelp review about billing practices and I wanted to share that I haven't had any issues at all. I receive emails with the totals to be charged, I have time to ask questions about the bills, and I consented to have convenient autopay when I was onboarded as a patient. The practice has worked seamlessly with my insurance to make sure there's no issues. Thanks to Meredy and Natalia... I should have come to see you years ago but I'm glad to be your patient now!

I love the genuine vibe of goodness and health here. I leave here feeling good in and out and that's why I return-- or will as soon as my children are in school in the fall. Children are welcome but I would do best with a break from my olders -- having it be just about me for an hour. I go to Alisha and have brushed shoulders with many other therapists here who are probably equally terrific. I do love Alisha, though-- she is professional and competent as well as interesting and has helped with my post children pelvic floor goals tremendously. This pt office is a big secret, apparently. I don't know if I should share such accolades-- I guess I just did! If you're on the fence, go here. They're the best. Seriously.

Run. Don't walk. Run. I had to cancel my surgery because Carroll's admin staff are too…read moreincompetent and rude to handle the basic functional aspects of running an office, and I don't have time to deal with repeated calls that I cannot return due to problems with the office phone system and receptionists who hang up on you. All this just to try to resolve mistakes made by staff! Carroll's staff did not process my referral and were too disorganized to return calls about the problem. I thought in advance to make a special trip to my student health services to get the referral (this took over an hour). I thought to call in advance of my appointment with Carroll to ask if I could e-mail the referral, but I was told that the office has a policy against receiving e-mails from patients. I brought the referral with me to the first appointment, but I was told by the front desk staff that the referral wasn't necessary and that they didn't need a copy. They scheduled my surgery without the referral, and then (as I expected) heard from my insurance during pre-certification that a referral would be needed. Fast forward to last week when I started getting repeat messages--not just one, two or three, but FOUR messages about the referral. With each message I tried to return the call to see how I could e-mail or fax over the referral, which I had in my wallet knowing this problem would arise. Karen in pre-cert takes never ending lunch breaks at odd times like 3 pm in the afternoon and can't receive messages because her VM is full. But even if she were at her desk, I couldn't return her call because the phone system isn't working and I get repeatedly transferred to the wrong people. It took 30 min of bad transfers and lengthy holds just to reach a the voice mail, which was full. Then I got a message about the insurance problem and need for a referral from Katie in the doctor's office. But when I called back, the receptionist hung up on me when I insisted on speaking to Katie, not the receptionist. The receptionist really thought she could help, but she was one of the staff who refused the referral in the first place, and she didn't understand the problem when I tried to explain it. I tried to call back later, but the next receptionist insisted on my birthday and other personal details before she would transfer me to Katie, and as I was in an Uber, I couldn't give out personal info. I asked to cancel my surgery and receptionist #2 hung up on me. I sent several emails to the address on their website to cancel, but each e-mail bounced back as undeliverable. Now the site is entirely down. Sketchy. Who in their right mind would let this man cut them open? Months after canceling, I am still getting calls from the River North Surgery Center about my upcoming surgery. Creepy that they can schedule you for surgery at an outpatient facility without your permission and despite your repeated attempts to cancel surgery and decline care. When I told Dorothy at River North that I had cancelled, she said there was no record of the cancellation. I asked Dorothy for a written e-mail indicating that I was still scheduled for surgery despite the cancellation. She declined. I said that I was entitled to written information about any surgery that involved my body, billing, and name. She hung up on me. I have spent hours of my precious time and data during international travel calling staff only to be put on hold, disconnected, and hung up on. I have spent at least an hour on the phone with my insurance as well. This is all in an attempt to remove a small piece of lead from my hand that has been there for years. I can have the lead removed for free at student services but thought I would find a specialist to minimize scaring given that my insurance covers the procedure with a referral. I haven't even been able to verify the cost of surgery because staff can't handle the necessary other basics. I am also being over charged for the visit because staff didn't submit the referral with the claim to insurance. They are also trying to bill me for the co-pay, which I payed on site during the first visit.

After a few different casts, by boyfriend was recommended for wrist surgery because the bone was broken straight through and healing improperly. Dr. Carroll performed the surgery himself and prior to the surgery came in with a skeleton of a hand and allowed us to see the screw being put in, touch it, ask questions, see a demonstration of how it wil be done etc. Afterwards, Dr. Carroll came out to the waiting room and explained to me how it went and what he had to do and allowed me to ask any questions. I particularly liked that he didn't treat me like a kid and didn't undermine my (unmarried) relationship with my boyfriend. He was very articulate and very serious but was still personable. He waited until long after the surgery (once my boyfriend was fully out of anesthesia) to speak to my boyfriend and field any questions he had. While the road to recovery is still ongoing, I am very pleased with the level of care received with Dr. Carroll.

I lost my beloved, 17-year-old, soul cat, and in spite of his age, his passing was totally unexpected and shocking. I didn't know what to do or who to call--only that I felt like this massive ball of agony that everyone could see, I was in dire need of *something*, even if relief wasn't really possible. I sent an email, explaining what had happened, and asking to come in that day, for what, I wasn't sure. I just knew I needed help, and wasn't sure where else to turn. They fit me in for a wellness visit, no questions asked, and when I arrived, greeted me with so much love and warmth and compassion. They had an exam room waiting for me, so I would have privacy to cry, and did some acupuncture to help me relax. They told me to come back anytime, even if I just wanted to hang out and be around people. I went back again two days later, and Dr. Lee researched and found an acupuncture protocol for grief, while Dr. Hertzberg gave me soft-tissue therapy which made me feel like she was literally pouring her love into me. On Saturday, when I came for my regular appointment, Ali gave me an hour of the most beautiful shiatsu massage therapy, even though I cried the whole time. I could never have gotten through this week without the beautiful compassionate support and care I received from the team at Balanced Flow. These people are not just doctors and techs; they are all true healers in every sense.
