Had one visit with this doctor and that was enough. He does not seem to care and did not take time to listen or discuss anything with me.

I'll be honest: I picked Dr Pride because my insurance covered him and he is also an Aviation…read moreMedical Examiner (AME). I'm glad I did! Dr Pride is extremely patient and kind, and I did not feel rushed through our appointment at all. He had a nurse handle the silly things like blood pressure or whatever, but the rest of the time he asked me questions and really listened to my answers. He offered seemingly sound advice and I definitely felt comfortable with my exam. Good doctors are hard to find. Glad I found Dr Pride!

Went for a preventative visit. Even though I specifically requested the "preventative routine…read morewellness" as the only reason for my visit to the person at the desk, the nurse who first saw me, and the doctor, they disregarded what I asked for. Instead, billing charges me for something I did not agree to or believe I needed, though as the person in billing wasn't actually present, she explains that she can't know what actually happened and can only read the codes (i.e. no point in talking about it to her). People who were present at the exam are apparently too busy to ever give any why for disregarding what I asked for. I don't know if I would have agreed to any test(s) if the doctor had explained why he wanted to diverge from my reason for visiting and do additional costly work, but I was never offered any choice in the matter. Unfortunately, I have to start over and find a better practice for me.

They recently moved to a new location under a mile away from old one. I had my annual physical…read morescheduled on April 26 and the office didn't inform me of their move to a new address so I arrived at the wrong address. After realizing the office is not there anymore I called them and they gave me the new address. By the time I arrived the new place I got 7 minutes late. The old lady at the front desk refused to give me the service and didn't let me see the doctor. This was quite disappointing for me as I had waited for this appointment for over 2 months and I had taken half day off from work due to my appointment. My primary physician is Mike Melnick who I have been seeing for many years but I am not going back to this place again and trying to find a different practice. The old white lady at the front desk was very rude and treated me with disrespect. I assume she is racist towards people of color. I am quite disappointed and am going to report this incident to BBB, Federal Trade Commission, Illinois Attorney General's office and other consumer rights protection agencies. I am giving them 1 star because there's no option for 0 star.

The doctors are meh -- they have a network of doctors in this Buffalo Grove location. I have been…read moregoing here for years (none the wiser) and have seen: Dr. Melnick (primary) Dr George ***Tip to you peeps: educate yourself about insurance codes!!! I believe they are up-charging patients by utilizing the 99204 code for 5-minute visits and follow-ups. I just thought this was just how expensive healthcare was, and that was just how it was. After consulting with other doctors about how much I pay for doctor visits and the extent of the visits, they suggested that I ask for itemized statements. Upon receiving the itemized statements, I was informed that I was being charged the 99204 code all these years. That being the case, I will be specific and only refer to the last couple visits. Both visits were no more than 5-minutes. The second visit included a strep test in which the doctor said it would take 5-minutes for the results, in which, through thin-walls, I heard him go see another patient, and then 25-minutes later, he came back and talked to me for another 3-minutes. I called the doctors' office on a Thursday, and upon talking to them, they told me the doctor was not in and that I would receive a call on Monday. Surprisingly, they called me back an hour later and their explanation was that the time reported is accurate. When I asked what time was reported, they only said "they reported time". No further explanation was given even after I asked several times, the person would not go into specifics on how much time was reported. I have used them for many years, so this is not a one-off, or me just being disgruntled by one bad visit. I have grown wiser and actually started looking into the codes they are using. How could they know if the time was reported accurately if the doctor wasn't even in to review this with? I will be also reporting this to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and to my insurance company. It is really sad that our healthcare system is like this. This is not even about the money, but the principle. I am fortunate enough to have the money to pay for these bills, but what about those who cannot? I don't think this is fair either for insurance companies or for any medical network to represent their physicians with crooked, already well-paid doctors. All I'm really saying is be smart, don't think healthcare really has to be expensive, and if you feel a bill is too expensive, ask for an itemized bill! You may be surprised with what you'll find.

University order trumps local clinic. You losers lost a patient today. Will not be returning. This office has literally endangered me willfully. EXPECT TO HEAR FROM MY ATTORNEY IN THE NEXT WEEK LEGAL COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT! Me v. Advocate will kick off 2025 And Advocate. Will. Lose. Kiss your $75,000 in easy revenues a year goodbye. I have lots of health conditions and am on HRT and severely hyperestrogenemic. The fact they rejected my visit. Could easily lead to a hospital visit. And if it does. YOU WILL PAY. NOT THE TAXPAYERS. ADVOCATE DESERVES NOTHING!!! The suburban facilities are all horse crap! Every damn last suburban facility. Go to Illinois Masonic or UIC / Northwestern. Skip these fake facilities that don't obey UNIVERSITY ORDER! EFF YOU!

Dr. Melnick was my doctor for many years, and also my son's doctor. In all my years dealing with…read moredoctors, I can honestly say you will never find a more compassionate, understanding physician who truly cares about his patients as individuals. After one of my surgeries, he even came to see me personally, which meant the world to me. What I respected most about him was that he was never afraid to tell me the truth when I needed to hear it. At one point, another pain management doctor had me on extremely high amounts of medication, and I didn't even realize how much it was affecting me because I trusted the treatment plan. Dr. Melnick suggested a short rehab stay to evaluate my actual pain level, and it honestly changed my life. By that Monday, I felt like a new person, and I never went back down that road again. Doctors like him are rare. Since COVID and telehealth changed so much in healthcare, I've realized even more how hard it is to replace a doctor you truly trust. I was late to appointments a few times over the years, and I always worried he may have felt disrespected, but that was never my intention. Great doctors are like great family, hairstylists, or dentists -- once you find one, you never want to lose them. I still miss him and that entire office very much...‍‍

Never informed of risk so he wasn't looking out for my best interest. Did not call it CAT scan but instead calcium score. Score came back 0% indicating nothing was wrong.

Spent my entire life living healthy to have it destroyed by this doctor.
