A friend recommended her doctor, who works out of this NMPG outlet. Unfortunately, he is not seeing…read moreany new patients, and the doctor to whom he is sending new referrals was booked for the next 10 days. So I ended up seeing Dr. Siles, who is an NMPG nomad -- she travels from office to office, spending a few weeks here, a month there, and so on. Yes, strange. The good news is, she is a very caring and attentive physician. She was very clear about what she thought my problem was, and what we could do to address it. She was also responsive to my financial constraints, letting me know about my various options for care, and not pressuring me to do more than I could afford. So far, so good. But the support staff at this office is horrible. It should have been a clue when they couldn't agree on the pronunciation of my doctor's name, even arguing with me when I pronounced it correctly. (It's Siles, to rhyme with styles, not "See-less.") But what's worse is that while I was waiting they were talking about various doctors in the practice, loud enough for me to hear, and often in derogatory terms. I understand that everyone hates their boss, but try to keep it from the general public. My other complaint, with NMPG in general, is that getting in touch with your doctor is a major hassle. All calls have to go through their 312-DOCTORS number, even if you are returning a call from a specific office. I'm sure this works for the organization, but it doesn't show much respect for the patient. This is my second experience with NMPG -- a couple of years ago, I had a bad experience at their outlet on Halsted, and if not for the recommendation of my friend, I would not have returned. I liked Dr. Siles, and if I can track her down, I may see her again. But I'm not impressed with this group overall.

I had an appointment with Dr. Alison Cromwell today, for a routine physical, and I must say I am…read morepleased with pretty much every part of my visit. First off, Andre from the NMPG recommended Alison because I needed to get in before my flex spending ran out at the end of May. At first I called for Dr. Alt because of her fabulous yelp reviews, but as she was unavailable, I figured I'd give Alison a shot. Andre tells me to get there 15 minutes early so I can fill out the standard health history paper work. I get there and the gentleman at the front desk was friendly and nice. The waiting area was also bright, with lots of huge windows for the sunlight to shine through, always a plus! At 12:30 on the dot, the nurse calls my name. Hallelujah, a doctor's office that runs on time!! Dr. Cromwell's nurse isn't super into chit chat but gets down to biznass, which is fine by me! Blood pressure, check! Temperature, check! Weight, check! Then, she tells me Dr. Cromwell likes to do a "meet and greet" before you "get naked". So funny. So, lo and behold, I did end up having to wait a bit before the doctor came in, as is usual in most, if not all doctors offices. Alison was really nice, great bedside manner, and asked lots of questions to get to know my habits and health history a bit better. She gave me some information on a prescription I was taking, so I could be "an informed user" and asked me on a couple of occasions if there "was anything else on my mind?". I just felt at ease with her, which is a nice feeling to have at a doctor's office. Also, they do blood work at the same facility. So, when I had to get all that fun blood work done for cholesterol, iron, etc. it was so convenient and fast. Let me tell you, I have microscopic veins. Literally, they are so tiny and hard to find, that I pity any poor soul who has to deal with me. Not to mention my face turns ghost white because I'm about to faint. Seriously. But the lady that took my blood was effective. She found a vein pretty easily and was able to extract a tube or two. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Dr. Cromwell also has an online service where you can ask questions, refill prescriptions, get test results, etc. I'm very happy with this facility, and it's just a short bike ride away, even better! Would definitely recommend Dr. Cromwell to anyone in need of a new internal medicine physician.

They were surprised I got billed because things weren't sorted, however, they did say I got billed for two visits on the same day. I thought that was a mistake, called Dr. Roystons office and they were like, if you had ANY complaints, that would fall into a second visit. I said, no, I literally had no complaints. Last year I had a problem with my neck, so maybe she just pulled over last years billing? Nope, she billed me for conditions she's not even managing. In my notes, it literally says managed by other physicians. I went in to speak with Chris Fuqua, he said he couldn't do anything, but because she put those diagnosis in, it's a separate visit. I was like, so I'm not suppose to inform her of my conditions other doctors are managing? Isn't that important for your PCP to know your health HISTORY? He basically was like, I cannot say anything. His silence spoke volumes. Not to mention, I was telling Dr. Royston during my visit that I would prefer vitamin B12 shots over her recommended vitamin B12 pills because I struggle with taking them and she was like... no. I was like, why? She said, the pills work, if it didn't work, then you can do a shot. I spoke to someone and they were like, you can go to minute clinic and it cost less to get a B12 shot then go through insurance anyway. She was dismissive and she's billing for conditions she literally is not treating. Just beware.... You will get charged for your medical HISTORY when speaking with her.

I used to have ongoing sinus infections or chest congestion after colds I couldn't shake, and she always took it seriously and had quick and helpful remedies. In my past experience, most doctors shrugged those symptoms off or were at a loss for solutions. She is also great for preventive care. I recommended her to a coworker. Upon seeing her for just a routine visit, Dr. Royston immediately noticed a troubling skin lesion and correctly diagnosed my coworker with skin cancer. With me, I always feel like she is on the case looking to prevent future issues: getting my oversized thyroid checked out for possible cancer, listening to my complaints about swollen hands and getting me tested for rheumatoid arthritis, checking to make sure I am scheduled for a colonoscopy given my age. She delves into family medical history, and she asks about my exercise routine (or lack of). I just had my annual physical with her and came in with 8 written questions, thinking she would never have the time for all of them. It is Northwestern, and regardless of which department you are seeing, at some point you may feel like it's a bit of a factory pushing people in and out. But she had time for all 8 questions, and I'm glad I asked. Some of her answers were surprising and in a good way. The office is also very efficient. I've never had to wait to get in. I actually got there early last time, and Dr. Royston saw me right away. Even though it is downtown, the practice feels like a family practice. I noticed I've been seeing the same nurse there for over 10 years. The nurses have given me good tips, like after a flu shot, and I've never had a painful blood draw in their labs. I can't recommend this practice highly enough. There may be a time or two when you feel like things are going quickly, but then just let the nurse or Dr. Royston know you have more questions. They will listen.

Reason for visit: Acne…read more Pros: 1. Able to make an appointment within a few days of phone call Cons: 1. Awful, lazy, rude staff. 2. Careless uninterested doctor 3. Terrible inconvenient office hours 4. No follow ups regarding test results or appointments 5. Staff does not answer the phones in a timely manner 6. Patient has to call for any follow ups and to get an explanation regarding test results. 7. Long wait period to receive test results. Overview: When I met w/ Dr. Subhani for the initial visit, she did spend a decent amount of time w/me but seemed uninterested in hearing what I had to say regarding my acne. I asked her to do a hormonal blood test and her attitude said that was a waste of time. She had already determined my hormone levels were normal because I'm not fat. But she did a blood test anyway because that was the main reason for the visit. She didn't want to give me any type of solution either for the acne. I had to ask her for antibiotics or something to start working on the problem. The blood test results took a couple weeks. The staff called and quickly stated the results are normal and hung up. I have no idea what they tested for. What did I pay for? When I called back to get more info on the test and maybe get a prescription, the staff didn't know what to go over or what to say nor would get the doc on the phone. Days later, when the doctor finally called back like I asked, she too had nothing to say and seemed hella irritated. Maybe I had to pay another $150 for her to talk. Seeing her was a total waste of money. She's just another doc. in the field for the money.
