I have seen Dr. Glaser and staff for over 20 years. I my eyes, the man walks on water. Dr Glaser is…read morea caring practitioner with a focus on reducing one's pain and preventing more invasive procedures like fusion. His dedication to the field can be seen thru his publications and roles within the industry. I have had multiple surgical interventions within my spine (Fusions, Laminectomies) that left me in a state of non-stop pain and labeled as a Failed Back Surgery Syndrome patient. I am realistic as a patient and understand that not all can be cured, especially neurological impacts. Dr. Glaser and team, thru their interventions and pain management enabled for me to continue working long past the point that most would hang up their hat. I owe ALL of that to Dr. Glaser and team members like Maria Andersen. If you are in pain and tired of the run around, I highly recommend the team at Pain Specialists of Greater Chicago. These people personally care about you and the outcome. I cannot state the number of times that Dr. Glaser went to bat with the insurance companies for me, for that, I will forever be grateful Dr. Glaser, Maria Andersen and the over team PSGC. Surprised at folks making statements about the wait or for appointments. In the 20 plus years, I have not had that issue. I suggest setting your next appointment, when you leave your appointment. I have never had to wait an extended time in the 20 years I have booked. Give them a try, you have nothing to lose but your pain.

Called this clinic looking for help getting an MRI. They said they don't do MRIs, which is fine, so…read moreI asked if they could recommend someone local who does. I was told they "don't know anyone." That alone was surprising (you're a local pain clinic, allegedly a specialist, but you don't know a single other professional in your industry in the area?), but it got worse. When I said I wasn't a current patient, the response was basically "sorry, we can't help" and the call was ended. Every doctor or clinic I've ever dealt with has at least a short list of referrals when they can't help directly. This felt less like healthcare and more like "if you're not paying us, we're not interested." Not helpful at all. Would not recommend if you're looking for guidance or support navigating care.

Please do not waste your time coming here. I made an appointment with the doctor and instead I was…read moreseen by a super rude nurse practioner named Heather. Heather didn't even examine my back and spent less than 5 minutes with me. All she could do was send me for an MRI and nothing more even after I already told her my back conditions. Their is a reason I never ever want to see nurse practioners or physician assistants and this visit with Heather just solidified that. They do not hold MD degrees or have the proper knowledge or training to see patients. I am also switching practices because of this terrible experience and her rude demeanor. I might even dispute it with insurance as I was not supposed to see her.

Just had knee surgery yesterday with Dr. Chudik and I'm super happy with the whole experience from…read morestart to finish! Dr. Chudik came highly recommended by my PT. I was able to get an initial appointment scheduled right away, zero wait! My appointment started on time. He ordered an x-ray (on-site) and then determined I needed an MRI (also on-site) so I came back a few days later for the MRI, once my insurance agreed. Once he determined what was needed he offered to do surgery the next day! I decided to wait 5 days, but I was really impressed that he could arrange for surgery so quickly! So far so good with the surgery outcome. His bedside manner is lovely. He met with my husband and I pre-op at the surgical center then my husband again after the procedure while I was waking up in Recovery. He individualized the plan as I have a duel diagnosis of cancer. It would appear that his surgical skill is excellent too as I actually feel really good and it's only 24 hours post-op. So I'm pretty sure he solved the problem! I'm up walking on crutches, no swelling and just a bit of pain! I also want to give a shout out to the other members of Dr. Chudik's awesome team at Hinsdale Orthopaedics: Brecken the athletic trainer who did my initial screening was professional, efficient, attentive to my worries, and made sure all my questions were addressed. Pat in X-ray, who I saw on two separate days, was so friendly and upbeat and she remembered when I came back the second time that we were distant Irish cousins so that's a fun coincidence. Jason in MRI scheduling was friendly and helpful, checked my insurance for me and scored me an evening MRI spot so I wouldn't miss work. Michelle the PA squeezed me in for a last-minute pre-op visit then took loads of time with me and made sure all my concerns were addressed, even called to check on me the night prior. Front desk clerks were friendly too. Great experience! I highly recommend Dr. Chudik for orthopedic surgery!

They'll make you feel well taken care of before surgery and then leave you high and dry afterwards…read more Chudik didn't show up to my first follow up apt and then his assistant Tatum had trouble counting to 7 and wrongly scheduled my second follow up apt so I took off work and drove through rush hour for no reason.

I first began my care with Dr. Salvino on 3/15/18. I suffered a foot injury, which I suspected to…read morebe a ruptured Achilles, and didn't want to foot the bill of going to the emergency room or urgent care. Instead, I went straight to the source and began searching for foot specialists. After calling a couple that were unavailable that same day, I called Dr. Salvino's office, and not only was the person on the phone very empathetic, but I was able to come in a couple of hours after my phone call. Upon arrival, he confirmed what I thought to be true, and was recommended various locations for an MRI to determine the severity of the rupture. The next day, I received a call from their office to come in for a second appointment to prepare for surgery. Dr. Salvino explained the entire process to me, answering all of my questions and discussing why surgery was the best option for me. Since I didn't have a PCP, Dr. Salvino recommended a physician that might be able to squeeze me in for a pre-surgery approval physical, so that my surgery could take place as soon as possible. A few days later, Dr. Salvino performed my surgery on my Achilles rupture. It was as smooth of a process as it could have been, and I have been seeing Dr. Salvino weekly since then, notebook in hand to make sure that all my questions are answered. He answers them all with patience and I never leave his office feeling confused or like my questions haven't been answered. There was a time I called the office with a concern about my cast being too tight, and even though he was out of the office, he promptly called me back from his personal number to address my issue. I really appreciated this. I am very pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Salvino and his team. Everyone is friendly, I never have to wait long to see him, and I am pleased with the progress I am making with my injury.

Ok so I will start by saying that I have zero experience with Podiatrists. I only went here…read morebecause my broken (whatever the f that bone is under your pinky toe is called...metacarsal? metatarsal?) which was validated two years prior by an X-ray. I thought perhaps it had re-broken because it was hurting the same way. Now, for those of your that have experienced broken toes (I've had two on my left foot, one on my right, plus this something-carsal-thing) then you kinda know when it happens. It's like 'yup, that's broken'...actually I have broken lots of bones and also knew it, but I digress. So the I only attended the facility twice, but every single person there (including the Dr.) was extremely pleasant. I never waited and I always felt relaxed. The rooms were super cool too because there were photos that Dr. took on his own vacations (which I also do...at my house...not my Dr.'s office, lol). My main issues for not giving above three (other than no comparison and only two visits) is he never wanted to take an X-ray. And it wasn't because it wasn't covered (or, I'm willing to pay for it) but just he was extremely sure it was not rebroken. I'm not one to argue with a Dr.; they know way more than me but wouldn't a Dr. just try to rule that out? In the end I did receive very caring treatment but no definitive answer. Would I go back? Yes.

I was visiting my dad this summer and when he put on sandals, I was shocked at how sickly his toes…read morelooked, so I called here and they were able to get us in THE NEXT DAY!

We were truly blessed to have Dr George as our follow up doctor from the ER after my mom had a…read moretraumatic injury to her foot. Before her appointment, I was very concerned about severity of her injury and after the first follow up dr wouldn't even open the bandage, they sent us to see Dr George. After the delay in the first appointment, I wanted to be assured we were heading to the right doctor. So as I read the profile of Dr George, I felt more confident in what I was reading about his experience and when I read he treats patients like a member of his family that struck me as a power sign we were in good hands. Dr George always took the time with my mom, addressed EVERY fear, helped us all to laugh about something to ease the anxiety about the healing process but he was always very cautious, confident and calm. I can say after weekly follow up appointments for 10 weeks, we were going through stressful times but what was the best outcome with Dr George expertise and guidance, needless to say we are just so thankful for Dr George! Dr George treating you like a family member is spot on of who he is so caring and does wholeheartedly, let's just say he is welcome anytime to a family gathering and means a lot to our family! As I read the other recent reviews, Dr George is where his calling is, he is a professional and knows what he is doing so if you have to wait, I would wait for as long as needed to see Dr George and If you are having to wait it is only because someone truly needs his expertise time. With that said, on our weekly visits, we really only waited once past our appointment time. Dr George is the real blessing to have in the medical field and our family review gives him 100%, highly recommended so if he is your dr, you are really in incredible caring hands! WE LOVE DR GEORGE!! The Dedick Family

PLEASE DISREGARD PREVIOUS LOW STAR REVIEW! I saw Dr. Nichols after 2 other opinions for my bunions…read moreand hammer toes. Dr. Nichols was the only Doctor that was able to help me with my chronic pain. His experience and dedication to his profession is very obvious with the amount of time he spent with me reviewing my x-rays and symptoms. He gave me conservative as well as surgical suggestions. After much contemplation and the realization that the pain had gotten to be too much, I decided to have surgical intervention on one foot. Well, 4 months later I am so happy and pain free, that I am scheduled for my other foot in a month. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Nichols and his staff. They have all made this experience so easy and pain free!! I've referred all of my friends and family with foot problems to him.

I am a runner and I went to Dr. Nichols as a refferal from my family doctor. My experience has been…read moreterrible. The first visit I went, Dr. Nichols said I had a neuroma.He injected my foot with cortisone, without asking my if I wanted the injection or discussing what the injection was even for. It was very painful! He used a 2" long needle that went between my toes and through my foot. The worst part is, my foot now had ANOTHER pain for a week and a half from the shot. It did not help at all but made my pain worse! The bill for the shot that I didn't even ask for was $140!!! And he acted like it would cost nothing and forced me to get it when we were one-on-one in the patient room. I went back to Dr. Nichols a month later complaining of the same foot pain. He still thought it was a neuroma, and said to look and see if my insurance would pay for custom orthotics (otherwise $800). He had no real answer or diagnosis for me, even after taking X-Rays. Two weeks later, I went to a Sports Medicine doctor in the Cadance physician group. He said that I most definitely did not have a neuroma as Dr. Nichols said, but that my issue was metartarsalglia. He told me where to get a ball of the foot pad that would support my big toe up while I was running extra long distances. It has worked! And now I'm able to run 10 + miles without pain! My experience with Dr. Nichols definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Seeing a specialist isn't cheep! And then they stabbed me with another $140 bill!. Awful.

I was first introduced to Dr. Brian through my wife, who was seeing him for Carpal Tunnel…read moretreatment. She had mentioned that I was bothered by a fallen arch, and he was kind enough to offer a consultation after one of her sessions. What impressed me most about our meeting was how up front he was. He spoke frankly about the nature of my injury, and was clearly not interested in offering false hope or locking me into a treatment package. As a weekend warrior I was curious to see how both his Active Release Therapy and chiropractic services could help not only my injury, but also my overall well being. Having received treatment from Dr. Brian on a consistent basis for over a year, I am comfortable recommending his services to anyone wanting to experience optimal physical health. I very much look forward to our sessions, and always leave his office feeling rejuvenated. He is far more thorough than any other chiropractor I have dealt with, and actually concerned with my individual ailments. There are certain techniques he uses, i.e. his method of adjusting the hips, that I feel are a great deal more effective than the traditional approach. Combine that with A.R.T. and you get an experience that truly feels all-encompassing. No "crack 'em, wack 'em, and send 'em on their way" schemes at Elite Performance institute. I will close by saying Dr. Brian is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate individual, and I found his positive attitude to be contagious. I wish that all healers would approach their craft with a similar mindset.
