Been a patient for several years and truly fed up with this office…read more Whether you are in the office or trying to get a hold of the staff calling on the phone, the entire staff is always rude, condescending and impatient. They lack overall manners and as healthcare employees, they lack bedside manner, period. When you address them to speak louder (I am legally deaf since by birth), they still refuse to talk louder and it is frustrating to communicate with them in person. When trying to reach their office, they are rarely ever available to speak with. You have to leave several voice messages and it can take days before you hear from them (Jason- office manager, nurse assistant Jamie and many others). In describing their bedside manner as healthcare employees, they have none, whatsoever. If by chance, you do happen to get ahold of them on the phone (after several times trying to call them in a single day), when describing prescription problems or general health problems, they continually interrupt you without letting you finish what you need to say. From that point, they treat you very condescending and as if you are stupid, all because they refuse to let you say everything that is needed. If they just let you finish talking, then they can understand FULLY of the problem existing. When the staff leaves voice messages on the phone, they lack proper phone etiquette, as well. Impatiently leaving their message so fast that you can not understand what they are saying, slamming down the phone loudly, never say goodbye, never leaving their names nor numbers/extension numbers so you can call them back to talk to them directly, (you have no idea who called you in the first place) and more. They need to greatly improve their bedside manner and their phone etiquette, work on their patience, speak up and stop whispering, speak intelligently without garbling and above all, let the patient finish talking and explaining. Seek elsewhere for digestive health care. Seriously disturbing.

Stay away from Dr Patel. I was a former patient but had left the group due to his horrible bedside…read moremanner. Ended up back in the hospital and got stuck with him as my GI. He did one test, a CT scan, then grossly missed diagnosed me as a drug seeker despite my constant pleas for a colonoscopy and even my doctors at University of Chicago said I needed a colonoscopy. He would not do it. Needless to say, a few weeks after discharge I finally got the scope at UofC and not to my surprise, there was a massive blockage.

It wasn't until he started seeing Dr Moxon that he was finally able to determine the cause. It was a joint effort between Dr Moxon & an allergist who were able to assist him. He has had several scopes and no issues! He has been able to stop both his omeprazole and his cholesterol RX! Inflammation is no joke or anything to dismiss. So grateful to this practice for their time, care, attention and ultimate resolution to his issue.

I truly like Dr Troy. However after years of loyalty, when you switch to Medicare, they dump you (…read moreunless you pay cash). So they don't really care about you as a patient. Also if you don't use anesthesia, you have to be their last appointment so they don't have to pay the anesthesiologist. How about having the anesthesiologist start later so you can be the first. So not only do you have to pay cash, you have to wait until end of the day for your appointment! Lame

I was on the search for a good GI for a while now. As soon as I mustered enough courage to finally…read moremake an appointment with one, the waitlist was well over a month. Dr. Dyer was able to take me next day. Next day! Of course, I'll admit that after reading the negative reviews I was very skeptical but having this very sharp pain in my abdomen for a week now - I took a chance. Dr. Dyer was very caring and attentive. For once I felt like a doctor was taking me seriously and I wasn't wasting her time. She made sure to answer all my questions. I was referred for an ultrasound and managed to get in that same day. Dr. Dyer called me the same evening with my results! If you are hesitant, don't be. I will recommend Dr. Dyer to others in need of a good GI.

I was a patient for nearly two years and consistently experienced poor communication from this…read moreoffice. Getting test results often required repeated follow-ups, and appointment wait times were frequently excessive. My most recent visit was unacceptable. I came in for a follow-up after a serious hospital stay and was turned away because the office claimed they hadn't received a fax, despite it being sent the prior week. No real effort was made to locate it, and I was even refused when I offered to email the records myself. Dr. Dyer never spoke to me directly and instead made dismissive, disrespectful comments to staff within earshot. Given the length of time I was a patient and the circumstances, this was deeply unprofessional. I will not be returning and do not recommend this practice.

Dr. Shahid is wonderful -- made me feel completely at ease and in good hands, from the initial visit to the procedure at the outpatient center in Oakbrook Terrace.

We are different from other Gastroenterology (GI) practices because we understand that each of our patients is different. Each of their needs and treatments is different. So we pride ourselves, above all else, on knowing that each and every one of our patients is personally satisfied with the level of care they receive. We pride ourselves on an open dialogue between patient and physician. That's why we survey our patients regularly to get their input on everything from scheduling to patient care issues. We know the work we do is often sensitive and can cause patients concern. That's why we want you, the patient, to tell us how we're doing...and how you're feeling.

I had a very hard time trying to find a gastroenterologist that I liked and now i finally have! There is a bit of a wait to get in to she her but I actually look at that as a good thing. Would you want to see a specialist that can get you in right away? I for sure as heck dont! I want a doctor who has a good patient following. (I once had a docs office tell me they could get me in within the week and I looked him up and he had terrible reviews- no thank you) I really am glad I went to see her. Waiting room time is the same as any other specialist's office. Her office staff was courteous. Would recommend!
