They offer free valet service during the preferred visiting hours, ice cream and popcorn for patients and guests as well as two activity/visiting rooms which are very inviting. What really impressed me is that the staff always pitches in wherever is needed, no one acted as if, "that's not my job". The PT and OT staff was all that; Nisha, Karolyn, Tom aka "Supervisor", Yajaoli, Edward, Rhonda, Tess, and so many more. One could not as for better treatment, honestly!! The downfalls were the EXTREMELY uncomfortable beds and the TERRIBLE food! The food was the worst in any institution I've ever had, even in schools. It baffled me.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart Skokie Team (Michele, Tristan, Jon and Josh). I had the pleasure meeting others from Wilmette, Wheeling and North Park locations. I want to thank Carissa the Regional Director for having such a wonderful staff. TRULY HUMBLED I was referred by my family doctor after a very bad fall to seek PT asap for my neck, shoulder and arm injuries. When I walked in I was in tears with pain, depressed and very stressed out in every way because this is my dominant hand. My primary PT was Michele, she assured me that she will make me feel better and not for me to cry. If Michele was not there I knew I was in a good hand because Tristan was there for me. I consider them my sisters now it's truly an honor and a blessing to know such people. We just need more people like them on this EARTH. They knew exactly what was wrong with me way before MRI's were done, after seeing three specialists for every part of my arm and found I had few tears. Always encouraging me to do little more and always send me home with different exercises to do at home between visits. The environment is welcoming and super clean with facility itself is state-of-the-art. I don't think we give enough credit to these amazing Physical Therapists, because they are truly like doctors to us they know exactly every part of our bones, muscles and everything else in our body and our mind. Where the pain is coming and how to fix you up. I recommend anyone that needs PT to go to ATI PLEASE. I want you to know what a difference you have made in my life Michele, thank you so very much. I truly want to be the voice of ATI because they are the Best of the Best. I only recommend ATI. Thank You, Helen B T

This was my first experience with physical therapy of any kind. My intake was performed at ATI's…read moreNiles location, and all subsequent sessions were in Skokie. The good: - Professional, competent and thoughtful physical therapists; - Friendly and responsive management, both at this facility, and at Niles and their Bolingbrook corporate office; - Clean, well-appointed facilities. The not-so-good: - During my time at this facility I was treated by four different PTs. It wasn't until several weeks into my therapy that one PT identified themselves as my "primary," and from then on was consistently available to me. Prior to that the communication between my PTs was limited, even dysfunctional, with each PT assigning me their own at-home exercises seemingly unaware of, or misinformed regarding the exercises I was already performing. This was dispiriting, especially when I'd accrued over a dozen exercises I thought I was obliged to work through daily. - A personalized web portal called MedBridge was presented to me as a resource for my at-home exercises and progress. I liked MedBridge, I liked having my exercises available online, but I soon realized that not all of my PTs used it, and those that did appeared not know how to use it properly. In the end, MedBridge became frustratingly unreliable and I stayed with my paper printouts instead. - It wasn't unusual for my PTs to be attending to another client at the same time as me. Given what ATI was billing my insurance provider, consistent one-on-one would have been appreciated--and expected. (One PT confided that ATI was having trouble hiring PTs and that most of the PTs currently at the facility were independents.) - During my intake, the facility manager wanted to charge me a $10 fee payable immediately. I advised him that my insurance card says, "Please do not collect $ at time of service," but I was told the $10 fee was not a co-pay, rather it was "co-insurance." I subsequently learned that the fee was really a pre-pay that applied against the total bill. At their request I gave them my credit card so they could auto-debit $10 for each session. Problem was that after several weeks the debits mysteriously stopped, and ATI Skokie told me they had no record of my credit card despite my having provided it several weeks earlier. I gave them my credit card again, and several weeks later they "lost" it again. Thereafter I refused to provide my card, telling them to instead call ATI corporate and work it out with them. To ATI's credit, they never bothered me about the pre-pays again. - This last thing was explained to me by ATI corporate as a marketing error: after about six sessions I received an email from ATI congratulating me on my "great progress" and proclaiming that I was, "close to reaching my goal!" Neither was true. Again, ATI owned it as a mistake, but dispiriting nonetheless.

We have the pleasure of having Angie as our son's speech therapist. We love Angie. Zev had a…read morespeech therapist for about 5 months before her, and then we got Angie right after he turned 2. At that point he wasn't even saying 10 words, and we weren't sure if he really understood anything we were saying. I remember pretty clearly our second session with Angie where I was tickling Zev. He was clearly enjoying himself and would take my hands to tickle him more. And Angie just told me to wait the next time he wanted to be tickled, and I waited with my hands in tickle position for what seemed to be forever (was probably more like 15 to 20 seconds) and sure enough Zev looks at me and said "tickles". What a moment. Now we are about 8 months later and Zev's 10 word vocabulary is around 200 words. Angie does much more than work with Zev, she works with me. She gives me tips and strategies so I can work with him since I'm the one who spends so much time with him. Not only is she great as far as her knowledge and skill set, but also her caring, professionalism and flexibility. If we've had anything in our schedule come up or a holiday or whatever it is, she's always helped us find a way/time to get each and every session in, that we have never had to miss one. What really impresses me about Chicago Pediatric Therapy Group is that they meet as a team to talk about their kids. Zev had sensory issues that needed to be worked through to get the most out of his therapy sessions. Angie would mention that when they meet at her office, she'll often bring up Zev to an OT and get their thoughts and there is collaboration within their group to think of an all-around approach to each child (I'm assuming it's not just my child).

I do not recommend Gwenn Waldman for reunification therapy…read more In my experience, this process lacked structure, accountability, and meaningful progress. Over many months, my daughter remained highly distressed and aggressive during sessions, yet I did not see effective intervention, a clear treatment plan, or measurable improvement. Instead of helping de-escalate conflict and rebuild trust, the sessions often felt like a place where emotions were allowed to spiral without enough guidance. I repeatedly asked for updates, a treatment plan, or some type of status report so I could understand what the goals were and whether any progress was being made. I was told there were no written reports and that communication was happening verbally with others. As a parent, that left me feeling excluded from a process that was supposed to help my child. I was also concerned by the inconsistency in communication and scheduling. Important questions often felt unanswered, and at times the process seemed improvised rather than clinically directed. From my perspective, the therapy became one-sided and did not create the balanced, safe environment that reunification work requires. Even during one session, the GAL commented that the therapist appeared one-sided, which only reinforced my concern. Most importantly, nothing improved. My child became harder to convince to attend, the conflict with the other parent continued, and I left feeling that the process caused more frustration than healing. This was an expensive and emotionally difficult experience for my family, and I cannot recommend this provider based on what we lived through.
