I became of patient of Chicago ENT due to frequent nosebleeds. It was recommended that I go to…read moreChicago ENT for a procedure to handle this issue. I originally had a different time and date for an appointment but had to cancel last minute due to a ridiculous amount of travel delays - I called and explained my situation and the office was very understanding and kind, which made all the difference to me! My appointment was very quick. Dr. Levy was helpful and gave me an overview of what would happen and advice on after care. I was finished and walking out of the appointment within 15 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised with how easily this procedure was done!

The staff is friendly and smiles as they rack up the costs without you being informed. They also ordered a CPAP for me that I did not approve.

Most of the information in the chart are cut and paste never talked about but put in chart anyway. I informed Dr Friedman that these surgeries did not work. I asked if he could put things back the way they were, he agreed to fix the problem. Have no idea why I let him perform another surgery. Worse yet. Thousands of dollars for false cures. Go somewhere else.

He also diagnosed me with sleep apnea with an unconfirmed sleep study and despite being obviously stressed and worried about my septum, which he said was 'one of the worst he could remember' he offered very little in the way of bedside manner or an explanation of any of my health issues commensurate to my worry. His appointments are very short and rushed and I don't trust this practice. His energy is that of someone who is mentally checked out and looking to pad their retirement savings. He may treat other conditions well, but don't come here with a deviated septum.

Slid the scope down my nose with no warning, no preparation. "Everything looks fine." Leaves the room. Went back to my promary care physician, because I was still suffering, told her about my bad experience. Was sent back to Chicago ENT, saw Kathleen Masala. While her bedside manner was rough, she at least sounded like she cared. Scheduled me for an MRI. Returned to Chicago ENT to go over MRI results. I was 15 minutes late due to an accident on LSD and their own parking garage malfunction. I was told I would need to reschedule 2 weeks later. Seriously??? If I cancelled every doc appointment where the doc was 15 minutes late, I think I would hae lived 69 years having never seen a doctor. Ridiculous.

My bill for a five-minute visit cost $720, and with insurance, ended up being $210.

My usual ENT doctor at another clinic was unavailable, and I needed to see someone fast. Mayra at Advocate Aurora Health recommended Chicago ENT. I should've realized something was wrong when I didn't see any families in the waiting room--no children, no young mothers or older ladies.

Later, a bill came for the missed second appointment that I forgot about, and they did not warn in advance, like other clinics do by phone or SMS, or at least email! I am from another country and I do not know that such fines exist in the USA. No one warned me about this, neither by phone during the first appointment, nor the administrator who signed me up for the second appointment! Money pumping, irresponsible people!

My son has suffered from nose bleeds for most of his life. Unfortunately he had started to bleed…read moreand we were unable to stop it as we usually did. We were able to get in to see Dr. Dutton and his PA Kris Larsen on the same day. The staff was professional and courteous and walked us through completing all of our paperwork online prior to our appointment. We called first thing in the morning on a Friday and were able to be seen within 1 hour of scheduling. We were seen in a timely fashion and felt as though both providers gave my son a thorough examination. Both Dr. Dutton and his PA Kris Larsen were very professional and had a great bedside manner. Both I and my son were comfortable with our treatment plan. They were able to stop the bleeding and were informative on what to do in the event the bleeding restarted. The bleeding unfortunately restarted after office hours. We went to the hospital we knew Dr. Dutton was on staff at even though we live 7 blocks from our local hospital. Although Dr. Dutton was NOT on call for the ED, the ED physician called Dr. Dutton to consult with him regarding my son. It was decided that my son needed to have surgery to stop the bleeding. Dr. Dutton came in and performed the surgery. He was NOT on call & it was a Saturday. I cannot say enough about the care and experience we had. I would recommend any person needing to see an ENT to see him.

Traveled by train from the suburbs to my appointment only to find out he was on vacation. I've been experiencing increasing pressure on the left side of my face and constant congestion, only on the one side. My ear get clogged up and I can't hear properly. He looks up my nose and tells me there is no reason for these things to be happening... that's it. So, what, it's just my imagination? He over-books and takes Medicaid, so what happens when we put two and two together? We have a doctor who is looking only for the payout. He doesn't seem to care at all about people, only the profit he can make off of them.

I scheduled an appointment 2 weeks after the ER because I could tell the sinus infection was still lingering. I brought the CD of the CT scan to the appointment with me that I had done in the ER. I didn't wait but I also had the first appointment of the day. He brought me into a room and I told him what was happening. I also mentioned that I had the scan 2 weeks ago, and I was given antibiotics, and that a lot of my symptoms were gone or improving. He looked at the CT and started talking about how more of my teeth looked infected in the scan. I knew this was not the case bc I went to my oral surgeon prior and had other scans which did not show signs of infection. He then had me look at the scans and said "what do you think?" I was stumped at that question because I am not a doctor and should not be consulted. He kept mentioning how bad the scan was and that he wanted to treat me medically aggressively. I told him that the scan was from 2 weeks ago and that I was on meds and getting better, and he was like oh ok. He still gave me more meds for the infection which did end up helping. He then started feeling my neck and got concerned because he felt a lump on my right side. He was really getting in there too because he wasn't sure if it was actually there and had me feel for it as well even though I felt nothing. He scheduled an ultrasound of the neck which came back to be normal, thankfully, but when he called to tell me he forgot that he was the one who felt something not me. He kept asking me questions about my neck as if I were the one to bring it up to him Overall, he seemed a little distracted, did not communicate well, and made me take an expensive test for nothing. I also worried for nothing. I would not recommend.
