    This review of 1 stars is based on their billing, not on the doctors. Several of us in my family…read morehave used IBJI over the years. I've just had an extremely disappointing experience related to their billing department and need to share a caution to others. I have had a very high credit score for many years and pay almost every bill very soon after it arrives at my house. Recently I got news that a derogatory comment had been added to my credit report. It showed up as some Medical Bus. Bureau which turned out to be a collection agency that it turned out had been brought in by IBJI. I was completely shocked and offended. I had contacted IBJI to try to see if there were any overdue charges for my family. The person I talked to said that she didn't find anything, but that there were a couple of IBJI contacts (however, she couldn't provide me another contact number for this supposed 2nd IBJI business). I had to contact the collection agency. They claimed that they'd sent me a couple of notices by mail and by text. I didn't believe them when they said they sent 2 mail notices, but I asked them for the IBJI account number related to the concern. I contacted IBJI again w/ this acct. number, and now they said yes, they saw the charge and had sent it to collections. They also claim to have sent multiple bills for this one time charge last year. I still have no idea what could have happened to all these mail communications as I've had a history of paying bills very promptly for so many years. Regardless, even if they really sent bills that were lost by the post office or my family, I would have appreciated a phone call before they would take this to collections. I've paid a number of bills for this company over the years and apparently somehow one charge was missed due to some communication issue. My credit score was dramatically impacted from the extremely high level to good. The collection agency claims this will be updated after my payment, but I'll believe it when I see the correction and cannot communicate just how upset I am that the billing department couldn't call before contacting a collection agency and causing me such trouble. I'd add that it would be nice if their online billing site would be more informative. You can pay bills if you receive a statement with the $ due, but when I've gone in to make payments, I've found that the system doesn't tell you what is owed. Before I consider returning to this business, I'd like to see a better online service as I've seen with our primary medical service company where I can pull up amounts due and statements online. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS GROUP BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE.

    I can't say this review is of Illinois Bone & Joint, as it is more specific to ONE of their doctors…read more- Dr. Lori Siegel - who is by far one of the best doctors I've ever seen! From the second she walked in the room I could tell there was something different about her. She's in tune to her patients, she's listening, she's thinking (I could almost see the wheels turning, LOL), she's optimistic, and thinking outside the box. I should probably preface by saying that she's a Rheumatologist. And within 90 seconds of being in the room, she had started moving my hands/legs and told me I was hyper-flexible. While seeing Dr. Siegel, she just made me feel at ease. I felt comfortable and happy. I felt like she really wanted to help me. And she talked to me like a real person, like her next door neighbor - instead of being arrogant & condescending as some can be. She's looking outside the box - to help reveal things my other doctors haven't found. In my 2 visits with her she's given me several GREAT suggestions that I'm going to implement in my life, AND uncovered an illness (thru bloodwork) that we previously didn't know existed. I wish I could make her my general physician because she's just absolutely got something special about her. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends & family, and fellow Yelpers! If everyone had the personality that she has, the world would be a beautiful place! As far as "Illinois Bone and Joint Institute" goes.... I don't have much. The office was very nice. Classy, clean, comfortable, bright, and very large. The front office lady seemed like the gate-keeper with an edge of cranky (cranky with a smile, LOL). And the checkout girl seemed a bit "too busy & too cool" for me. The office sure wouldn't keep me - but I'll go wherever Dr Siegel goes.

    Northwest Orthopedic Surgery - Before and after...no more pain!

    After three surgeries from two doctors in this group, I'm fully qualified to review their practice…read more My first surgery was by Dr. Tingle, who repaired a torn (shredded) rotator cuff. I saw several other orthopedic doctors over the years who misdiagnosed the problem. Rehab only made it worse. When I was referred to Dr. Tingle, he did a CAT Scan and saw a small tear. We scheduled the surgery, and he found the tendon had completely torn off the shoulder. Their surgeries are done in the Outpatient Surgical Center at Northwest Community Hospital. The recovery from this kind of surgery is long and painful. It's been over seven years, and I almost have full motion back to that arm. In fairness, I was very flexible, so I have better than 100% of a normal range of motion, but I can't quite reach where I used to be. I started having problems with my feet a couple of years ago. Bunions were growing on both feet. They were tolerable until they were not. Dr. Abraham works on feet, and I saw him at the beginning of 2022. I had surgery on my left foot in March. He warned me that the big toe was very arthritic, and he wasn't sure how much ligament was left. If it was bad, he said he might need to fuse the toe. If not, he would ease arthritis and correct the bunion. He suggested that if he felt the fusion was needed during the surgery, he would stop so we could discuss it. I did not want two surgeries on the same foot, so I told him to fuse it if it had to be fused. That's what happened. After I had two days of pain, then another. Six weeks in a boot with the ability to start driving again in two weeks was amazing. Two weeks after not using the boot, I went on an active trip to Ireland, which involved walking, hiking, claiming, and bicycling. and more. Aside from some expected swelling, I had no pain. It was great. When we returned, we scheduled the right foot in October. This was my dominant foot and my driving foot, so this would be personally problematic. The surgery went very well, and fusion wasn't needed. This time, a full eight weeks in the boot, plus two more just in case. I was able to drive at six weeks, What I find best about this practice are two things: (1) everyone on their staff is nice, attentive, and caring - from the front desk staff to the nurses and doctors, and even billing. (2) Their aftercare is second to none. Both Doctors always had time to talk, to see me if needed, and to ensure we had appointments scheduled until I would be released. While I hope I'll never have to revisit them, it is only since I hope I never need orthopedic surgery again. After a lifetime of activity and osteoarthritis, I'll likely return. After being released this morning, I learned that Dr. Abraham is retiring. He's giving up his practice to work full-time at the VA Hospital. What a mensch!

    I have had Dr. Sergey Kachar do 3 of my main joint replacements, and he does one heck of an amazing…read morejob! From the minute you start the office journey, with a super friendly staff, and caring to Lucas, his right hand man, and Bill, (Xray employee), they could not have been more comforting an caring. He explain all very thoroughly and takes as much time as needed for questions and assistant. The office staff calls back almost immediately if you have questions and they make sure your recovery is pain free (best it can be) and that you are doing ok. They are wonderful and highly come reccomended!!!!!
