NIGHTMARE/WASTE OF TIME!
I was recommended to see Dr. John L. Andreshak, at OAD Ortho/(Warrenville location) by my primary doctor. I was mortified by my whole experience with OAD. I have insurance, this place was in network. On the 1st and only appt, I met with Andreshak who only gave me one option for spine surgery which i need pretty badly. When asked if a fusion was the only thing that could be done to fix my spine, I was told that it was my ONLY option. Later, after several other Dr.'s opinions it was found that there were plenty of other options for my back/spine issue. I have been in a lot of pain over the last few months, and before leaving, Nurse Nancy told me i was getting a prescription for pain medication, and she would send it to a nearby Target location. Once getting to the Target, I was notified by the Pharmacist that the prescription paperwork I had in my hand belonged to someone else!! ? The next day after suffering from my pain, I called OAD several times and they finally returned my call. I was notified by the OAD nurse at that time, that there was no pain medication prescription for me... I just feel that these people are not in the business of treating patients, They're in the business of making money.. I strongly feel i was treated poorly right after I notified OAD to send my information and file to other Orthopedic's for second opinions. Believe me, i'm glad I got a few opinions. After testimonials on spinal fusion, I found that after a 10 year period a secondary fusion is required and possibly a third after that 10 years from the second. I highly recommend getting second opinions in general, but dont think for a minute that doctors like Andreshak know whats best for you, because only you know whats best for you.. If i could give this place negative stars I would. Not an option on this site.
