If the doctor isn't taking any new patients, why is it possible to schedule appointments with him as a new patient on the website? No answer. Complete utter waste of time. Sorry, you only get to make a first impression once. There are no do-overs. It's why it's called a FIRST impression.

I'm so pleased, impressed, and relieved now that I have a primary care doctor I have confidence in.

I recently tore the meniscus in my knee which was very painful in the first 2 weeks. After the MRI…read moreconfirmed the tear I was ready to have Arthroscopic surgery but my doctor convinced me to try physical therapy first. This was my 5th round of physical therapy at Riverside Medical for different problems which have all been successful. My Physical Therapist was Allison and she had me back to 100% after only 6 weeks. Allison knows how to rehab injuries and she focuses on doing the exercises correctly and slowly while building up strength around the injury. She always gives me exercises to do at home daily. I am now back to full strength with no apprehension when climbing stairs or squatting. I would highly recommend Riverside Medical Physical Therapy if you want to rehab an injury. The entire staff is helpful and friendly which I appreciate.

What an excellent doctor! We really need more doctors like Dr. Stefanuik. My husband and I have…read morebeen going to him for years and the Northwest Community Medical Group in genera. He is very pleasant, talks to you very thoroughly making sure to answer ALL of your questions and concerns. My husband has went to him twice in a week sometimes for follow up care and the doctor has never made him feel rushed. He is very respectful and really gets to know his patients lifestyle, background and gives you the sense that he's listening rather than getting his prescription pad out, like more physicians do. The appointments are never rushed either. We plan to refer as many friends, coworkers and family to Dr. Stefanuik and plan to be his patients for years to come! :)

He was upbeat, had a light sense of humor and was an actual human being (not a robot like a lot of docs). He's light years ahead of the previous primary care doc my dad had before. The support staff here is first class, too. The receptionists and nurses are intelligent, conscientious and super helpful. Cannot recommend this office enough. So happy we found them!

I will say the change to Endeavor was not positive for NCH. It used to be such a wonderful…read morehospital. Had zero problems and only praise before Endeavor acquired NCH. But now under Endeavor, I can't quite recommend. The hospital food when you're a patient and require overnight stay has definitely downgraded. They used to actually make the food--baked real muffins, cooked real food on stoves. Everything now seems like it's prepackaged in a steam/microwavable bag. For our most recent L&D my husband thought "they can't ruin rotisserie chicken." It was like skinless, boneless chicken breast that they microwaved. Possibly seasoned. But that does not make it a rotisserie chicken--the rotisserie implies it's been spinning in a rotisserie oven. Literally after giving birth, the muffin and cottage cheese I ordered were prepackaged like something you buy at a gas station, and in a little tiny plastic 1/4 cup. After laboring and delivering a human. The hospital is pinching pennies. And after having called over the phone to pay our bills and ensure that our balance was paid, we are still receiving bills saying we have a balance. Every few months later we get new ones. What is this scam? We did have great nurses. That's probably the only good thing about the hospital--but even they have to change their care routines to fit into the expectations of a for profit hospital now compared to before. Such a shame.

Since Endeavor bought Northwest Community Hospital some things have changed. Since the purchase,…read moreI've used their lab and their emergency room. There have really been no changes to their lab. You can walk in with lab orders and they will take you in the order of check-in time. Their phlebotomists are good, and results come in quickly. As for the ER, they seem to have a lower staffing level. I think part of this is I heard they are no longer a trauma center. If that is the case, I understand their reduction in staff. As with most ERs, wait times can be outrageous. I brought someone in who was in terrible pain - 10 out of 10 on their scale. How much pain you are in doesn't seem to matter in their triage. We waited a very long time before we were finally taken back. Once in an ER room, the service was outstanding. The quality of the nurses and the ER doctor were top notch. When we left, the medical issue was resolved, and although it is cliche, we had service with a smile. Aside from the wait time in the ER, Endeavor seems to have kept the quality of care up to par.

Our spunky & independent Mom loved Dr. B's refreshingly direct, blunt, and honest way of communicating with her. Because our Mom admired Dr. B's knowledge and appreciated Dr. B's sense of humor, Mom followed Dr. B's advice. As Mom grappled with dementia in her final couple of years, each of us 4 adult children interacted more and more with Dr. B. and her wonderful staff.
