We liked Dr. Walner after our consultation so were happy to do the surgery wherever he was performing it. I have to admit that I got a little worried about sending my little guy into surgery at Golf after reading the less than stellar reviews. However, we had nothing, but a 5 star experience here. It's a small surgical center and we probably saw only one other patient the morning we were there. All of the nurses and doctors were fabulous with both me and my son. He was a little anxious about the IV and they put him right at ease and he went into surgery like a champ. A special shout out to Nurse Cesar (sp?) who was just so awesome with my son! He came out of surgery not as happy (likely due to the effects of anesthesia), but the nurses did everything possible to make him feel more comfortable- pain meds, ice packs, movie and then finally (the winning solution) a sprite! Dr. Walner himself was also great and spent time talking to discuss both before and after the procedure. My daughter ended up having a procedure of her own at Lurie the following day (crazy week in my house) and have to say I think I preferred our experience at Golf. I hope there aren't many surgeries in our future, but if so I wouldn't hesitate to book at Golf!

I note that there are many AMG offices (with associated Yelp reviews) located around Chicagoland, but I can only speak about this one. We are very pleased with the services, staff, and the facility itself here. Our PCP, Dr. Ellen Aleksandrovich, is the best and she is very competent, caring, communicative, proactive, and empathetic to the patient's needs. AMG's systems also work great and responsively without long waits - systems meaning phone call answering or followup messaging, their PA staff, their website which is used for both medical info storage as well as e-mail messaging, their billing and payments system, their appointment scheduling, their lab appointments system and staff, etc. They also have several specialists based here that we see, and they have the same support system. We routinely get bloodwork and sometimes imaging done here at Nesset Pavillion. AMG is in turn associated directly with the excellent Advocate Lutheran General Hospital nearby. One of the best things with being part of a group is if your PCP happens to not be available on a given day, another doctor or resident or possibly a PA can step in for an urgent matter and they have all the info they may need at their fingertips. If needed, they can also refer you to one of their immediate care clinics in a Walgreens and I have used that service to get a quick anti-biotic prescription following a quick strep throat test without need to see a PCP. Before using the Advocate Medical Group for a PCP, I had a one man shop PCP, and who happened to take Wednesdays off, and it seemed I always needed him on a Wednesday so he was never there without a few days delay when I needed him, pfft! He also occasionally had suspect billing practices and that was the straw for me. He was competent though, but whatever on that aspect. In our experience, it's a big thumbs up for the Advocate Medical Group staff here at the Nesset Pavillion as well as the facility itself.

They look down at you and become annoyed when you ask for basic things like hygiene products. That being said there were a few people that definitely made the place a little better. Mrs. A always treated us with kindness and respect and listened to any of our concerns. Deandra and an Older lady with glasses, I forget her name, made our group therapy enjoyable. Made us feel heard and appreciated. You are not forced to go to group therapy so in the beginning my days consisted of pacing up and down a hallway and laying in bed all day. All the crayons are broken and all the markers are dry. There is no mental stimulation. Most people seemed even more depressed than when they went in. The worst part of it was that for me is that my experience is still ongoing. I needed FMLA forms filled out. I gave them to my doctor and he forgot to answer two questions and worst of all, did not sign the paperwork. Since I had no phone privilege, I had no way of knowing the issue with the paperwork until after I left. When I was discharged and checked the status of my case I realized it still said missing paperwork. I tried getting back to them right away. I have been calling and leaving voicemails to my social worker and anyone that will listen. I left three different people voicemails for a week straight and no one has answered. I only needed ten minutes to fill out the two sheets I need. Now I risk my disability being denied, I won't receive pay for the two weeks I was out and my insurance will be canceled for the week I was denied. I'll receive an even bigger bill from the hospital. How is it that I am worse off leaving the hospital than when I went in? Even the medication the doctor was supposed to send out to the pharmacy was not sent. I had to call again, get sent to voicemail, receive no response and run begging to my primary care physician to prescribe me the medicine they failed to send out. I came here to help my mental health. To stabilize myself. Instead of helping it's made everything worse.

I was diagnosed with active brain aneurysms by a large Chicago teaching hospital that told me that surgery was too risky but they wanted to keep information on my condition weekly then monthly. I thought about it and decided if they were inoperable why waite for one to burst so I never went back. I got a new revgular Dr Sebastian who owns Seby medical and when I gave him my history he immediately sent me to Lutherine General in Park Ridge to see this young hotshot Dr Oliver. I met with the Dr and I had specific questions and a couple of new cutting edge stump the Dr questions. This Dr is knowledgeable beyond belief and up on everything. He is super confident but not at all aragant. Everything that I asked was responded to professionally and very detailed with the Dr drawing pictures when explaing his gameplan.. He is super easy to talk to and makes you feel that he will do his best to help you through the whole endeavor. I felt impelled to let him know that if things went sideways and I didn't wake up ever that he shouldn't spend one second feeliing bad because it would be God's choice not his mistake. He went through my wrist into my brain 3 times with a plan and flawless execution. So much for inoperable because I have a Rock Star surgeon that I owe my life to and I thought that I should share my story so he gets recognized for the amazing job he does on a daily. Thank you for reading Dave M

From every experience we have had at this Hospital, I truly do not know where to even start. I can…read morewrite a whole novel about how horrible this place has been! My handicapped mother has been here, currently as I type, the 3rd time within the last year. Each time it seems to get worse. There are a few good Doctors and Nurses. However, majority of it has been just awful. Lot of nurses who don't know what they are doing, will totally ignore the patients, or give attitude all because they don't want to do their jobs. I had to call the nurse line directly for my mom (as she is over an hour away from me), because the nurse was ignoring every ring button she pressed. She was bedridden and had to ring for a nurse if she needed to use the bathroom, yet the nurse would ignore it. When I called, she started giving me horrible attitude. That's just one example, of many more from the previous time. Yesterday, she rushed via ambulance to the ER. It's been nothing but Hell. It is worse than prison. Let me also mention, her blood pressure thing came off and was beeping for over half an hour. My mom pressed the call button, but nobody came. She had to get up and physically wave down a nurse! Anyway, long story short, I contacted the complaint email to express the horrible service and treatment my mom is getting. Apparently, that made them all mad, because the complaint woman had the urge to than go up to my moms room and tell her she needs to tell me that she (my mom) is refusing things and it's not on them. These things being blood drawn at 4am, that my mom didn't even know about. Then the nurses told her she would probably need an MRI tomorrow morning. My mom DID NOT refuse, she just said she couldn't do an MRI from extreme panic attacks (therefore would need a sedative or an alternative). After this, her nurse came into her room giving her lectures about if she doesn't cooperate, they will just send her home. I've witnessed myself a lot of what went on last time she was at this hospital. I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. This place would honestly be the place that would have a patient dying, while they don't even care to notice. I would not be shocked at all if this happened there already. They make you just sit around for hours. No nurses come around, no Doctors. Instead of figuring out the issue so the patient can be in and out, you'll be there for days. I will most certainly be looking into pursuing this with a higher up administration. It's one thing to be busy and what not (which I understand) but neglecting and talking badly to patients who have patiently been waiting, is VERY unprofessional. My advice: STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY from this hospital if you actually want decent care.
