This please goes above and beyond. Wow. Thank you Gaby, for ensuring you guys were able to…read moreaccommodate me and my tight schedule. Gaby is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Dr E Linarez is above reproach. He came out and addressed me personally, shook my hand and conducted a full and thorough exam. Answering ALL my questions personally and providing so much Insight. Dr Linarez showed upmost empathy and concern for my sleep health. It's very rare now-a-days to have Doctors of clinics be so hands-on. That's a dying thing now-a-days, but not at Dr Linarez' office. Thank you so much, looking forward to a new and lasting relationship. Gaby and the front staff followed up with me. Ensuring all my needs were accessed and met accordingly. Thank you soooo much Gaby and Dr Linarez. Will recommend and refer. (They are military and police friendly).

So at the request of my physician, I went to Madison St. Medical Sleep Disorders Center for a…read morereferral and to speak to the Doctor about my restless and sometimes sleep apnea ridden nights (Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. This results in poor sleep quality that makes you tired during the day. Sleep apnea is one of the leading causes of excessive daytime sleepiness). Well my scheduled appointment for the study was actually a week away, but I totally got the dates mixed up and ended showing up a week ahead (last night actually). The technician at the front, who also was walking in when I did), was so pleasant and insisted that although my scheduled time was a week away, to please wait an extra hour in case someone did cancel or was a no show. She said that this one person has canceled or was a no show three times in the past and she would really like me not to waste my drive here. So of course, I waited in this pleasantly decorated reception area and counted down the hour. Low and behold (big surprise) he never showed up so they accommodated me. This was a really good thing because I was there already and the fact that she accommodated me was awesome. Now, the actual rooms you are given makes it seem as if you are in a nice 4 star hotel suite. I mean, its a nice moss green (very soothing) with your own bathroom (nicely decorated glass in green tile, shower, you know the works). The technicians came in and explained the WHOLE procedure to me, and I proceeded to go into la la land. Although of course I had wires everywhere and I was being monitored all night for different rhythms in my brain. I thought this place to be extremely professional and wow, the staff are just as nice as can be. In the morning, they wake you up (5 AM.) and let you complete your study with an hour of getting ready, so of course I showered and left. I just think that this was a really nice experience and hopefully I will get answers as to why I am having restless nights. I did appreciate also that they share parking with Leona's (next door) and for Oak Park this is a must since you will get a ticket if you park in the street. Kudos to the Medical Sleep Disorder Center.

The doctor didn't listen at all. He was more concerned about billing than treatment. I had told…read morehim that I tried CBT-I already and it failed, and what did he do? He prescribed me more CBT-I. It was in the goddamn referral that CBT-I had already failed. What a waste of my time and money. He also made a blanket statement "medication is never the answer." Not, "medication is a last resort", not "medication should not be used lightly," but "medication is never the answer." That's a religious statement, not a scientific one. When I mentioned my experience with CBT-I and how it made my sleep problems worse, he said he wasn't an expert on CBT-I. He literally claimed ignorance on a treatment he just tried to sell me. It would be as if an orthopedic surgeon had said "I'm not an expert on physical therapy." At that point you'd seek a different surgeon. I had to pry a sleep study out of him, he was resistant to even giving me a sleep study, saying I should retry CBT-I, a treatment that had already failed me once before. I ended up canceling the sleep study and saught treatment elsewhere with better results. I decided that given how poorly the doctor had listened during the session, I didn't trust him to actually interpret the results in good faith.

First and foremost--my sleep is better than it was when I first came here. In the end, that's the…read moreonly thing that really does and should matter to me. I was able to use techniques of sleep compression to readjust my body clock, and the results have been good. I should say something about my incredible sleep dentist, Dr. Gail Henry who made my mandibular advancement device. She is super-smart and competent but also warm and generous with her time and attention. Great Doctor. My CBT-therapist Dr. Scherer was helpful in introducing me to CBT-I and, as I said earlier, the overall benefit I received from him and this program was significant, and I'm grateful for that. Dr. Scherer himself I've found to be cold, a bit stiff, without a whole lot of relational or empathic ability.

The sleep study experience was dehumanizing and humiliating. Briana was nice enough and explained…read morethings - the best part of the whole thing. I laid awake in the bed for 5 minutes hoping the need to use the bathroom would pass since I needed to call her in to the room to "unplug" me. Not to mention the uncomfortable wires stuck to me with some sort of white snotty goo that got stuck in my hair. Then, at the end of the night, I got kicked out of the center with not so much as a "have a good day". As for the after, duh I have sleep apnea... like everyone else (how else do they make their money?) When I went back for the results, I was handed a paper to fill out with my credit card information to set up monthly payments BEFORE I even saw the doctor. I've been sleeping just fine for 40 years - I'll take my chances.

First of all the billing office is questionable, my advice to you is to go over your bill with a…read morefine tooth comb because they like to over charge. Also the reviews about the doctor having a personally of a rock is completely true. I think it's unacceptable, from the time I made my first appointment(April 17th) to the time I actually got my machine was 96 days(July 22nd.). My husband went to a different place out of Northeastern Medicine and from the time he made his first appointment to the time he got his machine was 16 days. If your doctor recommended this place I highly recommend asking for a different referral to save you time and money. I also told my current doctor who is actually newer to the area about the Naperville Center for Sleep Medicine and she will no longer be recommending this place either just from my experience with them.

I was having problems with being increasingly more tired and not getting enough quality sleep in…read morethe last two years or so. Sleep study did not produce any definite diagnosis. Then I was recommended to visit Dr.Girgis. He took simple diagnosis steps. After my first visit I started noticing that I was breathing very unevenly, with obstructed flow on one side. On my second visit, Dr.Girgis pinpointed a suspicion and confirmed it with a quick CT scan showing an almost golf ball size cyst in my sinuses, as well as deviated septum. The cyst must had been growing slowly so I never detected a sudden change in my breathing. He recommended surgery to remove it and promised I will breathing much better afterwards. He advised that I will need to take a week off, and will take a few weeks to fully recover. I doubted that I will need a week off from my work, and we scheduled the procedure a few weeks afterwards. After surgery that went well and as planned (I was sleeping 3 hours or so), the healing process started. My nose kept bleeding but on the third day after surgery I experienced a short deep sleep that was the "Ah-ha! This is like it should be when you get a good night of sleep!" moment. I went back to work, and have aggravated my nose, and had difficult time coping with my constant nose bleeding that progressively slowly stopped by the 6th day. I was surprised when on the 6th day after surgery dr.Girgis pulled two 5 inch long plastic stems from my nostrils and a long draining tube... Hahaha. Two months after surgery my inner nose and its lining are almost normal, just a touch sensitive (well, the septum was cut and repositioned). At the end, it was all worth it. Girgis and all his staff were always very professional, and friendly. My breathing and quality of sleep has dramatically improved. And I got my life back, Big Thank You Dr.Girgis.

I had trouble breathing through my right nostril when running or when being active. I noticed my…read morenasal septum was slightly deviated. But then I was involved in a car accident that shifted my nasal septum even more causing my nose to look completely off. I went to Dr. Girgis & Associates so they can diagnose my nose. Dr. Girgis told me that with just the internal surgery I should notice a major difference in my breathing and my nose will look straight again. So I went ahead with the Surgery. The surgery went well and I recovered fast. The final outcome was YES I'm breathing much better but my nose still look slightly off but not as bad as before.

HEY, Thurston H: MAKE SURE you pass this along…read more How do you review EVERYBODY? I met perhaps dozens of people. This is for the Emergency Dept. and Ninth Floor Kellogg. I'm in the Northwestern system, but the ambulance had to take me to Rush because it's so close. All I can say is that EVERYONE did a tremendous job with me. They responded to every request I had. They explained every test, procedure, IV and medication--which I demand--without me having to drag information out of them. I didn't feel like I was caught up in a slow bureaucracy, or was just another revenue source. They made me very comfortable as I was improving. "Close the door and turn off the light please." And they did, every time! Sounds small, but it was a huge comfort. They thought of me instead of only making things easier for themselves, which I've experienced. When I could eat real food, I got a big plate of pot roast and mashed potatoes; not bad! But who eats that much? :-)) One HUGE problem. The in-room phone rang off the GD hook with AI robocalls trying to sell me everything from funeral insurance to grocery programs to therapy. I needed to keep the phone live because my mobile phone was dead for awhile. If I hung up, they'd call back Immediately. You know how many distractions there are to sleep in a hospital? THESE CALLS DOUBLED THOSE INTERRUPTIONS. Woke me up EVERY time. RUSH: These calls are a substantial and authentic obstacle to getting well, which is your business. I mentioned it to a doctor, and he had a resigned "That happens." NOT good enough. They've GOT to do something about that. It felt like way more than a coincidence that those calls were coming in. It is nothing more than TOTAL B.S. But I'm reviewing the people here. P.S. THANK YOU (name redacted) for slipping me that cup of ice water. Whew.

If you value your life and you are hell bent on coming here stay on them because if you don't they will forget all about you. And, before you ask I have one of the best insurances in the country, so getting paid was not a problem. In closing there are too many sick people and not enough doctors to take care of all of them and it's so easy at RUSH to fall through the cracks. A side note my primary care doctor was AWESOME Dr. Austin ( in Indiana small clinic) very very professional.
