Maria Reyes and her team are incredible. I had a review from 9 years ago and felt the need to update it. She genuinely cares about her patients and is patient and understanding. Both she and Dr Goldfarb used to work in the same women's practice as Janet Cudahy. When Janet retired, the two of them moved over to work at rush. Both are incredible internist doctors and wonderful humans. read more

SUMMARY: If you're looking for a Primary Care Physician in Chicago, you really can't do better than Dr. Reyes. TLDR: Yelp says that 5 stars means, "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" and in this case, I could not agree more. The office itself is great. The staff are nice and seem pretty organized, and I book my appointments online without issue. I am also usually able to get a spot within a reasonable period of time (not 6-8 weeks out like so many Chicago doctors). However, the real reason for the 5th star is Dr. Reyes. Dr. Reyes has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever seen. She actually takes the time to listen to your symptoms, concerns, and history. Dr. Reyes also seems to genuinely care about my health and well-being as much as I do, acting sympathetic toward even seemingly minor complaints. Miraculously, she is able to give this much attention to her patients and STILL her office runs on time. I don't know how she does it--I've never waited more than 5 minutes for an appointment. I first saw Dr. Reyes in January 2014 when she was with the Advocate group. I was disappointed when I called later for another appointment and they told me she was no longer there. The staff had no information on where she was practicing or how to contact. I was forced to try other PCPs, and it was only when I needed a check-up in 2017 that I finally found Dr. Reyes again. I was thrilled and relieved (and clearly, my positive memories of her held up). If there were ever a doctor worth tracking down, it's Maria Reyes! read more

I feel very heard by Dr. Reyes every time I go to her with a concern! Cannot recommend her enough!

FOUND HER. Dr Reyes is taking patients again @ Rush: http://www.myrush.org/PhysicianPractices/lincolnpark/Pages/default.aspx What a relief. I was CRUSHED when I called to make an appointment @ Advocate and was told she was gone with no forwarding information. Have been seeing Dr Reyes for 10+ years, and always feel like I'm in capable & caring hands. read more

A complete nightmare! If I could give negative stars and warn people to stay away I would. Seriously I should sue. And I'm not the type to sue, but this was complete malpractice. Lemme start at the beginning. Based on good reviews I went to see Dr Reyes for a sinus infection and after waiting forever was handed a script for antibiotics and dismissed within about 2 minutes. Now I have excellent insurance and I'm used to excellent doctors. I was totally not expecting this abrupt wham bam treatment. I was literally still walking down the hall asking questions and the doc acted as if I was just completely annoying her. She was too busy. But whatever, right? I'm sick. I just wanna get better. We had a trip coming up. Just take the drugs and get better like she said, right? Wrong. By about the 7th day I was getting terrible ankle pains. Odd. There was no bruising or swelling. Just this deep, dull ache that kept me up at night. I didn't twist it or anything. WTH does that have to do with a sinus infection? I dismissed it thinking it was nothing and kept trying ice, heat, salonpas, etc. By the 9th day I was really no better infection-wise so I called the office and was told the doctor was too busy to speak to me. Or call me back. But the triage nurse (and I'd never heard the term before) said no worries she would have the busy doc call in a refill for me. But the doc was too busy to answer any of my questions. The triage nurse said she would answer what I wanted to know and relay my questions to the doc. So I mentioned that by now my stomach was torn up from the meds and that I was having strange joint pains especially in my ankle. She said take immodium and maybe I twisted my ankle and didn't remember. Huh? Oh, fine, whatever. So we refilled for another $200. And by now I could barely walk. And I'm not a wimp at all. Seriously it felt like something was going to snap if I turned it to walk or put any weight on it. And I was achy all over. Like I had the flu on top of a sinus infection. But I was really bothered most of all by my ankle so I looked online. Sure enough it turns out it is a major problem/side effect with the antibiotic. It causes achilles tendon damage in a small percent of patients. I called back frantic and spoke to the same triage nurse who told me it was not a side effect she had ever heard of SO SHE DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO TELL THE DOCTOR! So much for that relay system. Apparently the nurse finally did tell the doctor when I told her it was a known side effect. Because within an hour the busy doctor FINALLY called me. Very concerned but still in a rush. She told me to stop taking the meds (nice waste of cash there) and if my ankle was still bothering me I'd have to come in for an mri. At my expense of course. And nothing to help my now raging sinus infection. My husband's father is a doctor and when my husband called the doctor's office upset to say this was completely unacceptable they told him that they did nothing wrong and that they have no triage nurses on staff so *I* must have made that up. WTH? Uh instead of passing blame on the patient, why not DO something to HELP? They did nothing. They didn't even call back to make sure I was okay or to schedule another appointment. Zip. Zero. Nada. I called and no one ever called me back. A few days later after a VERY painful flight to arizona (flying with a sinus infection is ouch) my awesome doctor there not only put me on the right antibiotic but with a simple medrol (sp?) pack he mended my ankle good as new, totally saving it. How did he know to do this? Because he's up on the latest information and he takes the time to care for you. Maria Reyes did not only not have enough time to give me her initial care, but when her own office messed up they did nothing. If you value your health, avoid this place because they do not value you or your health. In fact Maria Reyes and her staff don't have time to do anything but take your insurance card and your $$$$. read more

I love Dr. Reyes. She is so caring and easy to talk to. She listens to everything you have to say and she makes sure to answers any questions or concerns. She never rushes you. You feel totally comfortable with her. She always calls you back with your results for blood work or pap. I will never go to any other doctor. I feel well taken care of with Dr. Reyes. She informed me she is leaving Advocate. I told her I refuse to see anyone, but her, and will follow her wherever she goes. She is going from Advocate to Rush. Location is somewhere around Belmont and Southport area. She said hopefully Rush will post her information soon, maybe sometime in January, so keep an eye out. read more

After being extremely hesitant about changing my primary care dr that I have had for years, I finally took the chance to meet Dr. Reyes. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and warming. She was not pushing medicine on me and really is interested in finding a solution. She even recommended researching more information on some topics she provided for us to discuss at a later time. This gave me a lot of respect for her. read more

Well I don't know what's going on here, but I was extremely disappointed. I went to Dr Reyes because I had been very sick for a long time. She prescribed me antibiotics which I took for ten days. I did not recover from my illness, and instead got worse. All of this is fine, but when I called back to speak to someone to see what I should do because I seem to be getting worse I was told that the Dr was not in that day. Hours later, a nurse called me to tell me that I would have to wait until tomorrow for the Dr to call me and that there was nothing they could do for me. Now it is 3 pm the next day, I still feel awful and the Dr has not called. Worse still is when I called to ask if I could leave a message, I was treated rudely by the receptionist and told that she would get back to me after she had seen her other patients. Needless to say, i will be finding a new Dr. Just an update. It's almost a week later, and I never got a call back. I did go out and find another doctor who told me that I had a secondary infection and prescribed more antibiotics. I now feel much better. read more

I came across these reviews looking up her new office address, and was surprised to see even one negative review. I've been seeing Dr. Reyes for about 5-6 years. I was referred by a friend of mine, and I am so happy she did; I couldn't be happier. I LOVE Dr. Reyes! I never feel rushed, and she listens to everything I have to say. Even when it's been a while since I've seen her she seems to always remember who I am. She's kind and compassionate. She always seems genuinely concerned about my well-being. I trust her advise...she has never steered me wrong. What else can I say? Oh, the office staff (reception area) are very nice, and professional. If you have any doubt about seeing Dr. Reyes, you're missing out on a fantastic Doctor! read more

Dr. Maria Reyes was referred to me by a coworker. Dr. Reyes is not only my OBGYN, but also my PCP (Primary Care Physician). I love Dr. Reyes b/c I do prefer a female OBGYN, and she's also very friendly and warm and caring. Dr. Reyes genuinely cares about the well being of your health, and I feel that I could ask Dr. Reyes anything. She is extremely nice, patient, understanding, and willing to offer her advice, always keeping my interests in mind. I definitely recommend her to everyone as both an OBGYN and PCP. read more

Yep, still love this doctor. I can always get an appointment, and if I run out of a presciptions or just have a question, I can always get someone on the phone. Dr. Reyes takes the time to talk to make and make sure I am doing okay, and makes me very comfortable during generally unpleasant exams. read more

Its hard for me to give such a low review because I LOVED Dr. Reyes the time that I was able to see her. But the administrative staff both on the phone and in person are just awful -- so sadly I will have to find a new doctor. The experience trying the schedule an appointment is truly terrible -- each time I call, I am on hold for more than 5 mins and two of the last three people that I spoke with while trying to schedule an appointment were very difficult to understand over the phone (they also seemed offended that I couldn't understand them - when one woman was very clearly either eating or chewing gum on the phone) I finally was able to make an appointment after tying several times only to find out when I was called to confirm the appointment (I also didn't receive a reminder call -- which I thought was strange since most offices call 24 in advance) that it was with a different doctor, not Dr. Reyes (The first name of the doctor was Frances, so I asked and was told that this other physician is a man -- and I really prefer a woman physician) So I cancelled the appointment and tried again the next week. But again there were no appointments with Dr. Reyes for several weeks. I also learned this time around that Frances is in fact a woman -- not a man as I was told the week prior -- so I could have kept my original appointment. Very frustrating -- but I was willing to push through and get the appointment scheduled. At a previous visit I had filled out paperwork to have my medical records sent from my previous doctor from out-of-state. (I have seen that physician for the past 6 years and the practice is run very well) I have since confirmed that they sent the records to this practice (as requested) -- and while scheduling my appointment today, I asked if they have received them. The woman abruptly transferred me to medical records (without confirming my appointment time) Once I got on the phone with someone at medical records, I was very disappointed to learn that Advocate didn't have the records and didn't have a record of the request. I was then transferred back to a different person in appointments and had to start the process all over again. At that point, I just gave up and let them know that I would be finding a new physician practice. To which, the person said "okay, thanks!" and hung up. But if Dr. Reyes ever goes to a new practice, I will be sure to try her again! read more

Maria Reyes is as good as they come. I went in for my annual OB appt., and what I expected to be stressful and uncomfortable turned out to be an amazing experience. First, she was able to see me within two weeks time. The staff happily talked me through directions, day of, when I couldn't find my way. She did not rush me, even though I was late after getting lost on the way there. She was happy to discuss all of my health concerns and didn't belittle any of them, listened well, and really made me feel taken care of! It was like chatting with a friend over coffee it was so comfortable. She offered advice when I told her my health goals, and I felt like a new woman when I left! I never thought I'd say this, but I am actually looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Dr. Reyes is hands down my favorite MD. I love that she has a calming nature about her and I find her medical expertise to be on point as well. I like that she spends time talking to me about other factors in my life that could be affecting my physical health that I feel other docs I have worked with in the past have either overlooked or hadn't cared to ask. I also like that she has a specialty in female health so I can have my routine PAP and yearly physical taken care of all in one visit. The office location is convenient for parking or public transportation and the staff are just as pleasant as she is. In all my years of searching for the right fit for a PCP, I know I can now stop looking. I would highly recommend Dr. Reyes to anyone who wants quality health care and service. read more

I love her! She has been my OBGYN and PCP since I was sixteen( about four years ) and my mom's for even longer. There is not awkward question she hasn't heard, and she always makes me feel comfortable! Plus she always remembers details about me, my boyfriend, school, goals.... and she keeps it real. I love her! read more

FIRST: Dr. Reyes is not a gynecologist. She is a primary care physician. I guess patients have made appointments with her under the impression that she's a gyno from these online reviews (which is exactly what I did), but she has more of a general practice. SECOND: She is, as can be seen from all the other reviews, fantastic! She does pap smears, std testing, birth control prescriptions, pelvic exam (may be why some are calling her a gynecologist?) the works. As awkward as these visits can be, she made me comfortable & relaxed. BASICALLY: Ditto to what everyone else said. I will definitely be going back to her. read more

I got a same day appointment to see Dr. Reyes. I had a FREAK OUT moment and my regular doctor at the practice, Dr. Raja Nadimpalli was booked, as usual. Dr. Reyes was prompt, informative, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. I loved the fact that I felt very comfortable. She also called me back promptly with my test results the very next day. No doctor is going to be amazing 100% percent of the time, but based off of these reviews, its obvious that Dr. Reyes is great at what she does. I will feel very comfortable seeing her in place of Dr. Nadimpalli whenever necessary. read more

Dr. Reyes is both very professional and warm, which is the perfect combination when you have to have a stranger poking around "down there". She's not an OBGYN, just an internist who specializes in Women's Care, but she can handle anything routine (e.g. pelvic exam, BC, etc.). I always had appointments made quickly, didn't have to wait long in the waiting room or exam room, and felt like I was getting thorough, excellent care. She is especially good at asking the right questions and really listening to your answer. My only complaint is that I twice had to call and track down blood work results (but I'm thinking that is more of a staffing issue than a reflection on the physician). Other than that, I would absolutely recommend her to any female needing a primary care doc. read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Reyes based on her Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. In a freak out moment on Monday, I called, frantic, and they were able to squeeze me in with her on Tuesday morning - note that she was booked solid through NOVEMEBER. Knowing that she is in such high demand, I felt a little at ease. I haven't had a lady exam in 8 years - for the simple fact that it's uncomfortable and what female likes anyone crawling into their insides? Whoops! She is SWEET, understanding, gentle - very gentle, intelligent and prompt. She talked to me like I had been a client for years. She DID however inform me that she is not a Gyno - which I knew from your Yelp reviews - but as far as I'm concerned, she's better than any Gyno I've ever seen. Also, the Practice offers 25% off for patients without insurance (I'm not sure if this is a first time client courtesy or if it's applied to each visit). I have asthma - and will be making an appointment with her to regain control of that. Thank you ladies for sharing all your ravs about Dr. Reyes! I think I've found my constant "go to" when it comes to Docs! read more

I was thrilled to start seeing a doctor who received such high ratings for bedside manner. It would be helpful a) if you could even get through via phone to get an appointment and b) if this were true. While Dr. Reyes seemed nice and knowledgeable, it did not help for her to whip out a chart during our first visit and tell me I was obese because I am 25 pounds overweight. Not helpful in building rapport AT ALL. And, as one of the conditions that I initially went to her for has persisted, I have tried to call and either ask if I should make an appointment or schedule a follow up appointment but have not been able to get through to a live person on the phone (I've been trying for about a month) and there is no way to leave a message. The one time I did get through, I was put on hold and couldn't continue to hold after about eight minutes so I hung up. I think I will be finding a new doctor.... read more

I had Dr. Maria Reyes years ago as my physician. I recently went to see her in Lakeview. So happy with her services. Great bed side manner, listens to you. I would recommend her! She is just a great dr. read more

I have had the pleasure of having Maria as my primary care many years ago. Then she left Advocate and now is at Rush. I needed a Primary care physician this year and I found her! Hated Advocate physcians...such a mess. Happy to have her as my primary. read more

She is now my primary doctor and it is super convenient to be part of Rush University (access to messages, bills, appointments)

Dr Reyes might be the best doctor ever. I saw her for many years, stopped taking care of myself, went to another doctor and then had to go back to Dr Reyes. She listens, she gives excellent advice, is very realistic, yet caring. A great human being who can hear when you are suffering and that's rare--especially for doctors. She is very thoughtful about women's health and has had enough experience to know the right path to regaining health and balance. read more

Wow, no one was kidding when they said Dr. Reyes was the shiat. I went to her because of all the glowing reviews here, and I was not disappointed! She was genuinely interested in me, my health, and my life. She took the time to explain everything she was going to do, and she tried her best to make me feel comfortable. I totally want to be her best friend. read more

I wish we had an option for 10 stars as 5 stars doesn't do her any justice. This BEAUTIFUL Dr. has provided me with the utmost care, support, she has wonderful heart and she LISTENS TO YOU! YOU ARE NOT JUST ANOTHER NUMBER FOR HER. YOU ARE HER PATIENT!!! She would laugh at me because I would always tell her I just self diagnosed with GOOGLE. (HAHAHA) AND 9/10 I was wrong. :) I don't know what I would have done with out Dr. Reyes. I have referred my mother, sister, my niece, colleagues, friends and family. When you have a great relationship with your Dr....why not share her with the world. It's Advocate's loss that they don't have her on their team any longer. Blessed to have been a patient of hers for over 15 years. Now that my insurance has provided more options, I can FINALLY go back to my DR. again. read more

Dr. Reyes and the staff over on Belmont Ave are absolutely amazing! They genuinely care about you and are so easy to talk to. Dr. Reyes is amazing in that she sits with you and asks if you have any questions which is so refreshing because all my physicians in the past couldn't wait to get out of the office dodging any questions I may have had with health. She is very knowledgeable and if you want more information she goes out of her way to look it up or obtain the information to provide for you. She is the sweetest person ever and it almost seems like you're there hanging out with a very informative friend with fantastic resources to provide you with but really... she's your doctor! Not only is Dr Reyes amazing, the staff overall is fantastic. I had an issue with parking in the wrong area and they all were so concerned on something that they could have easily just said "ah well not my problem". It wasn't their problem but that shows you the kind of people you're coming in contact with when your entering the office. You are a person they care about once you come in regardless of what the situation is. Because of how they treated me for my last visit I will not only be going there for sure for all my primary care needs but I will be recommending that location for anyone who is searching for a new doctor. Thank you to the staff at Rush on Belmont Ave for all that you do for each and every patient read more

Over 5 years later, and Dr. Reyes is still an amazing doctor who I've only had positive experiences with. HOWEVER, I got a letter stating she's leaving Advocate! And of course, Advocate will not tell me where she's going. If ANYONE knows, please message me and let me know! I want to follow her to wherever she is going to be practicing and I will be terribly sad if she can't be my doctor anymore. Thank you!! read more

I moved to Chicago and needed to find a new doctor. Well I found her! From the first phone call with the receptionist, I got a good feeling. Friendly and able to meet my scheduling needs within a short time frame. My appointment was on time and Dr. Reyes made me feel at ease right away with her warm and welcoming demeanor. I felt comfortable discussing not-so-comfortable topics and feel confident in Dr. Reyes knowledge. She is thorough and is current with the times. I would highly recommend her. I was able to get blood work done and a Pap smear on site as well, which is very convenient. read more

I LOVE Dr. Reyes! She is such a compassionate, thorough physician! I'm pretty healthy, but Dr. Reyes makes sure to listen to even my smallest concerns at my physicals and talk through them with me. She has given me excellent recommendations to improve my health based on my family history and personal health. She always spends a good amount of time talking with me in addition to my exam. She also calls me back right away with any lab results and does a great job of explaining things on the phone! She's very popular so be sure to schedule your annual exam at least a month in advance. Luckily I haven't had to come in for a sick visit yet. The support staff has also always been very kind to me! I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes in the waiting room or in the exam room. It's fantastic! And to the reviewer who gave one star because you showed up late to your appointment and had to reschedule: that's not a reason to give Dr. Reyes a one star review!!! When you show up late to your appointment and the provider sees you, that puts them behind schedule. I love how fast I can get in and out of the office here, but if they started seeing people who show up late the wait times would be much longer. You're supposed to show up 15 minutes early. read more

I had an appoinment I was a few minutes late . I try to explain the situation to them that I drove all the way over there and it was alot of trafic and plus my baby got super fussy so I needed to stop the car and breastfeed .They put me in a room so the nurse came and told me sorry the dr can't see you because you were late but make another appoinment. For sure I am not coming back . Come on I have a baby, that dr is not compasionate at all. read more

I love Dr. Reyes. She is very patient, kind and knowledgable. I have been seeing her for the last few years and have referred family and friends to her. If I could give 10 stars I totally would!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Reyes now for about ten years as my PCP and she is the best! I'm a pretty healthy person, but when I'm sick, it's Dr. Reyes that I want to see. I never feel that she is rushing me through the appointment (even though she is always right on time). She takes the time to listen to every concern/symptom I have and to address them all. She is very warm and knowledgeable. I trust her and her medical advice! Plus, I feel like her office is open all the time (seriously, they are open to 7:00 PM on some nights and on Saturdays). I feel that you can always get an appointment if you are sick. Anytime anybody asks if I can recommend a doctor, I always refer them to Dr. Reyes (and they love her too)! read more

I hate going to the doctor. I'm always a nervous wreck but Dr. Reyes and her staff put me at ease. I am so relieved. It great to have a primary doctor that makes me so comfortable. I will recommend Dr. Reyes and the practice as a whole to anyone that will listen. The support staff is awesome. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I love this practice. read more

I went for the first time with Dr. Reyes, she took her time and was so warm and friendly. Everyone from the front desk to the nurse and the doctor were so amiable. Imagine the welcoming old school family doctor vibe with a modern twist. I'll probably have to travel another 10 minutes farther than my last doctor but I'll do it gladly. read more

The one star is NOT for Dr. Reyes...she is a fantastic doctor. The one star is for the office staff. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Reyes two plus weeks in advance. I got a call two days before the appointment reminding me that it was with Dr. Reyes. The day before I call and was told that I was not scheduled with Dr. Reyes and that her next appointment was April the 7th. I injured my knee badly in December. I called for an appointment and x-rays were ordered first. The office staff told me I could pick up the order, but they neglected to tell me that the downstairs radiology department was undergoing construction and only the hospital radiology department would be open. I had to limp all the way over to the hospital to the department, only to be sent back upstairs to registration (they didn't tell me about that either) and then back down to radiology. I love Dr. Reyes, but the office staff leaves much to be desired. read more

I had the opportunity to switch to a different health plan, with more benefits, etc. I made the decision to stay with my current plan because of Dr. Reyes. It is not too often that you can find a physician who makes you feel better when she walks in! read more

I thank yelp for introducing me to Dr. Reyes. I'm always nervous going to a new doctor, but Dr. Reyes made me feel at ease. She really seemed to care about my health history and how to improve my health currently. She is friendly and explains everything she is doing which makes it slightly less uncomfortable! read more

I meet with Dr. Reyes for the first time this week. I must say she is amazing... Yes I said it amazing. She had a very professional yet easiness to her that made my morning visit with her comfortable and complete. I always feel rushed by doctors but not this time instead maybe I was rushing her. Dr. Reyes though took her time with me and asked questions that I have never been asked before by previous doctors. She seemed to take an interest in me which I find soothing in order to understand my concerns that I had about my health. Her staff is also very friendly, it seriously was an overall great experience. Yay, to finally finding a doctor I am totally happy with. read more

I have had many Dr's in my life but Dr Reyes is the best. She takes a true interest in her patient and listens. She gives very good advice. I would highly recommend her. read more
