20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Chicago, IL (2022 Updated)

No a good place to take a home inspector class you have 60 hours to read a huge book, and triton college push you to get brand new book but all the material they show you is from 1900, therefore the teacher encourage you to just read the book because their old material doesn't Match with the new book, nothing is updated. Plus If you miss 1 point on your exam you lose the whole course and have to do it again because they don't give you another chance to take another test even for one point and expected to pay all again.so you waste your time,your money..and all over it the instructor says that if English is not your first language you are in the wrong place and makes comments all the time about people's accents. Othe places help you pass the state exam n everything.. Don't waste your time and money taking home inspector course at triton collegeNkos

The worst school to even inquire for a program.. they will charge you and send your info to the credit Breau if you don't pay!! The cashiers will emails you everyday and night and they will make you pay for not attending classes that you never even registered for! Didn't go into classes because it was covid and never even attended for any class online but they want me to pay for not providing any serviceJexlee Charles (Charles10)

Clean, friendly, cool school. I was in the A building, the lady in room A126 was VERY nice and quiet since it was a testing room. They even have FREE feminine products in restrooms for women. I asked about future classes and the lady who helped me initially was VERY pleasant and turned her computer screen around to show me how to navigate the schools website!! All around, GREAT experience!brianne Fondren

Illinois State University (ISU) is a public university in Normal, Illinois. Founded in 1857 as Illinois State Normal University, it is the oldest public university in Illinois. The university emphasizes teaching and is recognized as one of the top ten largest producers of teachers in the US according to the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education.[7][8] The university's athletic teams are members of the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference and are known as the "Redbirds," in reference to the state bird, the cardinal.Mohammad Rizwan Ahmed (vines)

It was Homecoming at its always a segregated tale of two cities: ISU (Predominately) White Version and The Black Alumni Version. I chose the ladder because it represents the Soul of the institution. To make an integrated effort work you must hsve all parties at the decision making table not in a Whitewashed way but in a true multicultural way. Our tailgate draws everyone. Their activities doesn't.Windsor Smith

It's hard to tell %100 for sure during this COVID-19 days but the times I went there, I saw a student population a lot more relaxed, focused and engaged in their reason for attending college, compared to some other places we visited prior to enrollment. As a parent, this took a heavy load of worries off my shoulders.Ruben S.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. These people will harass you and blow up your phone until you answer and promise you to be accepted while giving you a login and password to the student account. All just to be shot down and tell you your not accepted. These guys are just here for your money is a diploma mill STAY AWAYcaleb debord

This is a great school. Teachers are good and helpful and they do a great job of helping you with everything you need. For the money, you will be hard pressed to find a better school of this quality.A. VARNADO

I received my undergrad from USF- great experience, awesome teachers, great community of learners! I am back at USF working on my Reading Endorsement, the classes are challenging, yet rewarding.Colleen Panega

I have been a student of DePaul University – Law College since 2019. Before joining DePaul I was contemplating between DePaul and other Universities, I am so happy I made the right choice to join DePaul. Not only is it a prestigious University with many famous alumni names, but also because it is a University that has made the list of the top best Universities for many years. Depaul has the best facility you can hope to study under, the administration are very helpful and my advisor, is one of the best, always available whenever I needed assistance, guidance or help. If you are a graduate of DePaul, you can be sure that employers will want to add you to their staff. Being part of DePaul, is being part of a large educational family. There are two campuses, the main one is located in Lincoln Park and the other one is located in the Loop, right in the heart of the business hub, if you are attending College of Law or College of Business. There are two huge libraries in the Loop campus, with access to Starbucks, as well as to, Barnes and Nobles. In both Colleges you have cafeterias amd study lounges. There is a Toastmasters club at DePaul and many other groups and clubs to join. Also, DePaul offers a help center, fpr students who may need extra help with certain classes, as well as, a writing center for whenever you need your essays reviewed, with feedback and assistance in improving it before submission. With all of the above and more, I could not possibly list all of the things DePaul os known for, or offers, but I can tell you one thing, if you happen to choose DePaul and become accepted, be sure you are part of the many successful people who will graduate with pride. DePaul is my University and hopefully it will be yours.Yazan Al-Khuzai

You can be a full fledged patriotic American, but just because your parents travel and you may have a foreign transcript (from high school/ middle school) you are deemed an international student. To add insult to injury this particular issue entailed the student already having graduated from a neighboring community college. Yet still, they are deemed international. An obvious protocol set in place to guzzle money out of the student. Wasn’t even thrilled about their level of academics to begin with, so not having this school as an option isn’t a loss in the slightest for our family. I appreciate their immediate display of a lack of sensical protocol, because it made us deem this school unfit without wasting any further time. Thanks DePaul!The RE: Brand

Hispanic Heritage event went on without a hitch. Free of Problems and controversy. Entertainment was Great Food was Awesome. The Highlight was the introduction of the Main Speakers The New Era Young Lord's. Also some Associates and Friends from there Early Year's. The Bomba group provided good Entertainment and a Festive Atmosphere. In the Middle Sixties you could count the Minorities attending DePaul. The all played on the Basketball team. Vast improvements have been made. Opening Enrollment and and Opputunity. We can Thank Groups like the Young Lord's who brought to the light the Contridiction's. Great Job Latino Students.Rory Guerra

If your considering this school really weigh out the pros and cons. Overall, I would never recommend this school. Yeah it is cheaper but is it worth the pain the school will put you through. Worst school ever. I obtained my bachelors and masters at a GSU; Many of my friends in the other programs and I agree the most of the teachers favor students and are extremely bias. Also, some classes are only offered during certain semesters. The following happened to myself and many of my friends at GSU, One of your core classes that you really need in order to graduate is only offered in the fall. When the fall comes around, you’re going to be told that the college could not find an adjunct for the course so it will be offered next year in the fall. That really sucks, especially if your receiving financial aid, now you’re going to have to take a class you really don’t need in order to have enough credits to receive your financial aide. Another problem my peers and I had. You only get 4 tickets for your graduation. To make matters worse, If you do not finish your program in May. you have to wait forever for your ceremony; my peers and I finished in the winter and we had to wait the following year to walk across the stage. More so, many classes are offered at night ( 4:30-7:20 and 7:30-10:20) which was convenient for me. However, the cafeteria would be close early. Coming straight from work I would be extremely hungry. Why close the cafeteria at 7pm when many classes start at 7:30 and get out of class at 10:30?Ashley Lamb

This school is a lot better than College of Dupage!!! Here professors care about the students and their future goals for a productive life. Cashiers office treated me s lot better, Financial Aid office people are super helpful, and Veterans Office treated me and other military both former and current a lot better than COD. Of course no wonder why COD's enrollment is dropping is because of unorganized, unfair treatment, and rude attitudes the give to their students and cares more about a paycheck instead of the future of the students!! Also my former school is on accreditation probation which I hope and Pray they lose accreditation and go bankrupt!!! If you're looking to go to a cheap university In the state of Illinois this is a good fit for you. Feels like a community college, but it's a small university who treat students with respect and are more interested in the students other than a paycheckFrederick Waramit

Family Development Center is not only the name but it's the center purpose of this facility. From the administrators, the teachers, the cooks, the maintenance workers, etc. When you come into the facility you're greeted with smiles, and gestures of kindness. I love how you can share your concerns about your child and how they listen in order to assist you. Their concerns are not just limited to your child while they're in the facility but at home as well. They offer activities for family bonding, seminars for family development and so on. By doing this, it allows parents to see other parents who are experiencing the same things and coming to great solutions. Developing families early on, giving a great start to assist our children to have a positive school experience as they grow. It is in my opinion, the hope and comfort that's needed to raise a child. Thank you all at FDCWill

The University of Chicago Booth campus is one of the oldest higher learning institutions in Chicago. The Campus is spread across the South Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhood. Had a chance to stop into the Harper Building and the welcoming atrium and staff. The administrative staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The students come for undergraduate or the prestigious grad school at Booth. The world class research institution is considered one of the top universities in the Midwest.chad svastisalee

Pleased to visit one of the most important Universities in the World! Its gardens, its period buildings keep an incomparable history with other universities! All its facilities are in favor of encouraging research and studies! Impressed by its majesty in knowledge and educational experience! This is part of the quality of its professionals that make them competitive worldwide!miguel chang

I enjoy the mix of old buildings and new ones. Going in the old buildings, is like go into a time capsule. Student's seem to enjoy the campus, as well as residents of the neighborhood. Enjoy the small businesses surrounding the campus. Their are several things to do, you just have to venture out and find them.Jerome Scarborough

*note – typos are due to phone issues, not poor education. I have had good experiences at this school and also at Harold Washington. The teachers are the best part of community colleges. My understanding is that they are chosen based on their ability to teach, rather than what research they are doing (which I'm told is the major criteria for hiring professors at 4 year universities). The only negative experience here, has been some minor harassing by the business office about tuition payment. This is somewhat understandable, but my frustration is due to having already spoken with the office about when I will pay, but I'm still receiving constant reminders to do so. That really is minor though and I would recommend this school to anyone. Very friendly and helpful teachers, cafeteria workers (food is decently priced to) and custodial staff. Haven't really interacted with anyone other than that.RoProArt

This college is the worst colleges in the history of Chicagoland and I thought that the teachers care more about students with special needs and disabilities as well but it seems like they don’t really care about disabilities students like us who struggle through catching up with some homework assignment on blackboard and has to be submitted by those instructor which they never graded it at all over the past two months or so I had a terrible experience of being part of this school which is too far compared to where I’m live at now every day I always take three buses and two train like the red line train to the blue line train and a extra bus to get there but always get there very late and the students from there are so sarcastic and not really friendly that much often. But the services are very low like I’ll give it like around one or two stars ⭐️⭐️Samuel Garcia

I went to the GED office everything was perfect and very nice people there but NOT tutoring center office A-245 , I can't believe Wright college still have these people in its offices reception! They need to learn how to nicely receive students ,being nice won't cost you anything, you're in college not at your home ,remember that ! If you feel that's not your place plz move , without students you'll never be there .I'm talking about the black lady with glasses at reception. Also remember that next time I'll definitely REFUSE your service in front of everyone. Since you're in school take advantage to LEARN.Amuzzur Izzan

This was my first onsite class with DeVry. I have had such a great experience with my senior project class here at Naperville. Being that it was my first time, I had to get an ID and receive a quick orientation. The onsite staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. In this session, our class was granted the permission to occasionally use the Addison campus for access to the tech playground for our presentations. Our innovative teacher, Professor Rucks, encouraged us to explore and utilize the facility to aid in our course work. When I needed academic advice and assistance, Mr. Dufresne, Assistant Dean of Academic Excellence, made himself immediately available and went out of his way to make sure my needs were met. I have really enjoyed my time here!Susannah Smith

Professor Nichelle Manuel made Database Essentials for Business w/ Lab worth every hour taking this class valuable. Her instruction during the lectures made everything that i read just *Click* every week. Her patience with the class really came through when a classmate needed help to clarify a task in our Lab. She made the class easy to understand and learning a new program very valuable. this class has helped me in my career by helping me improve on my relationships at my current employer by knowing how the program taught is the same one used at my place of employment. Thank you professor and thank you DeVry.David Espino

My school experience at Keller has been great from the start and I can honestly say it has been mainly due to the awesome faculty and professors. My last class Applied Managerial Statistics (Math534) just ended and it was again evident that because of professors like Dr. Al, who has the patience to teach and listen to students needs, that I was able to learn a lot more that I thought I would. I simply want to say thank you and keep up the great work you do for students on site and on line.Sergio Torres

Quality of care and service is highly, highly dependent on the specialty you’re seeing here. Their oncology is #1 in the state for a reason and absolutely the best place to go for cancer care. Truly amazing teams and the best doctors and nurses I’ve ever had. Imagining is also incredible, at least with the techs. Every scan I’ve had has been a wonderful experience and truly exceptional. The other departments I’ve experienced here are lacking. Orthopedics – doctor was over an hour late to my appointment, spent 5 minutes with me, had zero bedside manners. I reas the notes after and they were full of unprofessional remarks that gave the sense he didn’t care at all about my care and was dismissive. It’s not the attitude I would expect from an attending physician, or at least not one that actually wants to work there. The facility themselves are very hit or miss in terms of accessibility. I use mobility aids and while much of the hospital is accessible, a lot of it isn’t. Arkes pavilion only has accessible bathrooms on two floors and multiple hallways that are not wide enough for mobility aids. I had to stop seeing my psychologist there simply because the there were no automatic doors on his floor, including main hallways. If you’re in Illinois and need cancer care, especially for rare or advanced cancers, there is no better place than northwestern. For every other specialty, it’s very hit or miss and most often seems to be miss. If you need orthopedic specifically, go to Rush.Sara Sunshine Rosado

Absolute worst ER! I was admitted at 7:00 p.m. and it’s now 1:25 a.m. as I write this review. I am in an examination room waiting for the doctor to see me, so far I’ve only met with the PA. I was called into the examination room a little after midnight—still waiting on the doctor. This is the most unprofessional hospital I’ve ever been to. The waiting room is not clean. In fact, a man in a wheelchair urinated on himself three times. Streams of urine poured from his wheelchair. I told a nurse about it, but he did nothing. I am disheartened at what I’ve seen by the staff and the lack of care needed to maintain a humane and efficient ER. Visitors are treated like cattle, and the wait times are disgraceful.R W

Been here since 2pm- car accident and cut finger. It is now 9:30 and the only one that seems to be doing their job right is the night shift security guard who happens to see us putting our mask down. With all the money that goes into this place there should be better cleaning rotations, a better turn around for patients. I am convinced they have only one doctor and 15 nurses working. The picture below is only one area. The blankets are from 3 different patients that were called after atleast 7 hours of waiting. Bathrooms are disgusting. Spent $40 on coffee and a sweet x2 and not to mention the excruciating parking rates. Just go to Stroger atleast there they will help you with the ridiculous cost.Albertina Cruz

As a employee of Rush hospital environmental services department I worked here and dedicated myself to fulfilling my job duties to my greatest ability and because of that I was over work and assigned to work all over the Professional building sometimes a different area/floor each day even assigned to two jobs in one shift but because of my willingness to get the job done and the skills that I have to perform any assignment given by management in this department. I never complain because I personally remember not having a job and I really appreciated being employed and helping those in the hospital that needed a clean hospital bed and room and bathroom while trying to get better and the doctors that want their office cleaned and the floors mopped and trash can emptied for when they come into their office in morning. I was terminated due to accusations of having Covid-19 and I was escorted out of the the hospital during my shift by security and management without anything in writing regarding why I’m being escorted out of the building during my shift and my I.d badge removed and taken from me without no union member being present on my behalf or even to witness the situation. I was never given the chance to return to work. I passed the mandatory temperature checks when entering the building and I did not report being sick or having symptoms. I would’ve called in sick or took time away from work. I had fmla and could have taken time off if needed. I was wrongfully escorted out the building and never given the opportunity to return back to work. As of today I am without a job that I been at working for 4 years with no complaints ever about my performance. My history of working on all 11 floors inside the professional building reflects my hard work ethic. No other employee in my department during my 4 years with Rush was utilized like me because they were not capable of getting the work done. My job was wrongfully taken away from me after being a awesome employee to a company that doesn’t value their workers if you aren’t a doctor bringing in millions of dollars from surgeries. I worked in what’s considered the lowest and most looked down upon position in the hospital and that is why this entire situation could even happen.TW

If you decide to go to the E.R. at RUSH… Be prepared to stay in the waiting area for a good ten hours!!! Yes! Ten hours!!! Speaking with patients that have been in the waiting room for 14-15 hours to get called into a room.. We need legislation passed to protect patients. Hospitals should face fines or some type of disciplinary action when they keep patients waiting for so long.. Just like airlines! Waiting rooms are extremely congested. They need a better system to deal with the amount of patients they deal with. If you go in with a sprain, hurt or heart issues… you have a HIGH probability of going home with some type of virus! Waiting rooms are NOT being sanitized. Doors etc not being sanitized. Bathrooms not sanitized enough! RUSH instead of wasting so much money in commercials talking about being state of the art… Act like you are state of the art!!! You are labeled as state of the art NOT a third world country!!! UPDATE Response to RUSH's response. Complete LIES!!! A patient waiting made a comment/question to a nurse. He asked if being a good liar was part of her job. He told her he had been there since 9 a.m. Wednesday. It was 1 a.m. Thursday when he was asking/commenting. She actually laughed and commented that at times believe it or it was part of her job to lie. RUSH needs to open up a bigger E.R. The government gave a lot of aid to hospitals. They need to be held ACCOUNTABLE for taxpayers money!!!Be Light

HORRIBLE NURSES ! NEGLECTED WHILE PREGNANT! I had the worst treatment in the ER while being pregnant I was waiting for hours upon hours to get a room while I was vomiting and very dizzy they had me in the waiting room for about 4 hours after I was in the emergency room for 2 days because I bed didn’t open up for me while those days happened the nurses were the worst they were rough and neglectful to when I was in pain I was crying sobbing because they didn’t put an iv in right I had the IV done 13 times!!! 13 times they couldn’t get it in right to the pint where they just gave up and didn’t give me an IV I was left without food for long long periods of time and when I asked for options they told me it wasn’t a restaurant in which I was in shock from that nurses response I never went back after and never will worst hospital ever they’re a joke I will not trust my baby in their hands compared to Uic I’ve had the best treatment ever there very attentive and gentle with me and babyMelisa Roman

Had applied to this school for the MRI Program. Paid all the fees for application, transcripts, etc. Took the entrance exams and passed. Received my classes/schedule and sent them my fafsa. I had been registered for my classes already. I did an interview, the person that interviewed me was not professional, believe her name was Danielle Dertz. When trying to answer questions, i was cut off constantly and put down. Then right when everything was set and done for me to start the course, they give me a call that they do not want me as a student. My time was wasted, as well as money. They thought that I was not a good fit for the program because it is "too stressful". Previously, I was a full time student as well as a full time employee and received my degree from a different school with good grades, so I was stunned at this claim. They based this claim off of a previous job I had quit which had no relation to the MRI program itself. Instead of giving me a chance, when i expressed my interest and drive for the school i was shut down. Really disappointed in how i was treated as a student in the pandemic wanting to further my education Reply to response: The fact that you guys based your decision of my admittance on a job I worked over a year ago is disappointing. Both careers are very different from one another, so it’s sad that it is assumed that I wouldn’t be able to handle the program. My grades and achievements proved otherwise, but that was completely overlooked. I noticed with other reviews that many students had issues with the interview process as well. One would think after so many complaints something would be done about it but i guess not. As a student wanting to further their education, being discouraged because of a decision made, once again, over a year ago, was very disappointing. CNA is not the same as MRI. Many things change after over a year. The way I was put down by the Program Director was very upsetting and unprofessional. And I had also received a full schedule for the program. All of my classes were listed. You guys had waited to tell me that I was no longer accepted, hence my time being wasted. Instead of telling me right after the interview, you guys had waited. I was asked to fill out financial aid and receive my classes all the while knowing that I was not to be accepted.Tali Gallik

Midwestern Career College is a phenomenal institution! The staff, students and alumni are some of the most driven and intelligent people I have ever met. I originally met Mary Schmidt in 2018 and was fortunate to form a great business relationship after attending a career fair at the Chicago campus. While I originally attended this career fair strictly looking for Medical Assistants to hire, Mary educated me on the Externship Program that the institution offers. Mary was so kind to visit various UroPartners locations to further discuss this program with our Practice Managers. After many introductory visits, UroPartners started placing externs last year. We have now placed six MA externs and three of those individuals are full time employees who are still with the company today! In addition to that, our surgery center is now also participating in this program as they have started placing Surgical Technologists externs onsite. It has been amazing to watch this program grow and I look forward to all the future success Midwestern Career College and UroPartners will form together.Yasmine Lozano

I’m currently a student enrolled in the EKG program and I’ve really appreciated the take on online education. We have an in person class once a week that really brings the class together and elaborates on key points. The facilities are really nice, the class I’m in is in their downtown building, and I have an outstanding opportunity to learn about my field. The class sizes are not big so there’s always opportunities to ask questions and clarify for my own sake. The teachers are very helpful and are more than willing to go the extra mile for their students which is amazing because you just won’t always get that at a bigger school. All in all I’ve really enjoyed my time at at Midwest career college and will be recommending this course of study for any of my friends or family looking to get an education in any of the many fields that MCC has to offer!!Michael Goubine

This is a very honest review of my experience from 08/22/22 to 08/23/22. I am thankful first, to God Almighty for a successful surgery granted my daughter and secondly for the amazing experience from the receptionist who loves blings to the entire nurses, doctors and non medical members of staff that made this an easy phase. I will be mentioning some names only because I remember them particularly but if you ever had to help Zifana in one way or the other during this admission then know that I am equally thankful to you too. Dr Rastatter and Dr Lee from ENT dept are amazing, very knowledgeable and soft spoken. They both took time in their own ways to explain and made sure my husband and I understood the procedure and answered all questions respectfully. The Anesthesiologist Dr and her colleague (names forgotten) you both rock and are excellent at what you do, let me also add very kind too. To the Nurse at PACU that helped my baby stabilize after surgery , I can’t remember you name now, you are truly a Nurse at heart and you understand what empathy is and to your colleague who helped wheel us out, thank you both. How can I forget Nurses Wendy, Mallory and Susy, we received an exceptional before and after service from you all. A very big thank you to Larry from the patient transportation dept who sang so beautifully and also had a personalized song with his own name while transferring us to a room. Thank you all for you professionalism and hard-work. There’s no amount of money that can compare to your sacrifices, but I pray God’s blessings on each and everyone of you today and always. To conclude let me say that this hospital was well taught of before putting together and the employees are a reflection of their management’s vision.BHN

This hospital deserves less than one star. Every time I schedule an appointment (which takes forever) they say they accept my bcbs insurance and days before the appointment they call me back and say they do NOT accept it. I even upgraded to PPO and have a referral from the Dr. they still make up some excuses not to schedule an appointment for my child. Hell, even getting the right person on the phone to make an appointment is complex. The call back feature is garbage too. You expect whoever calls will help you make the appointment but no, person who calls me back says “let me transfer you”. Frustrating at the point where I will never want to do anything with this place.Masha Kasha

If I could give a zero star I would. So my 1 star is my zero star. They let my son screaming for 1:30 half with nurses just looking at us not helping or getting help for us leaving the room knowing my sons lips were already damaged with blister we are dealing with a lip injury. Cindy P and her friend nurse they messed up my sons lips big time. We have been in so much pain emotionally, mentally but my sons is the one that will pay for their negligence with a lip reconstruction my heart will never be the same. I just wanted to get out of there because I thought my son was going to die in their hands. So so sad.Yunuen Raya

After a LONG year of PT for shoulder surgeries, PT is the last place I wanted to spend my summer after tearing my ACL. However Sports and Ortho is really one of a kind! Being an athlete- I enjoy being challenged and hated going to PT every day and felt like I wasn’t making any progress at other previous clinics. I couldn’t have asked for a better PT than Cassidy who challenged me every day, got to know your tolerance level, and made sure I appreciated each and every little bit of progress- even on the frustrating days. Highly recommend her! When you are reminded of your progress from last week each session it definitely makes it so much easier to continue trying your best to complete your rehab regimen. She is knowledgeable in her skill set and is willing to try every different method that works toward your specific needs in order to support your progress. Her PTA Anje is great and makes it so easy to keep your session consistent and ask any questions. S&O is very individualized in their treatment and is not one of those places that gives you some exercises and shows you the door. Jess- their manager is willing to jump in and help in any way she can if you are trying to come up with other methods that might work for you. You’ll get the same PT every time and won’t be passed along PTs depending on the day like most places- which helps SO much when it comes to communication and tracking your progress. You won’t have to start over each time and really build on what you did last week. Being a smaller clinic, everyone knows your name, injury where you are at in your recovery, and is always willing to help without having to re-explain what you’re working on. Lejla at the front desk is always great and is there for any questions or concerns in billing or scheduling. I have been to many PT places over the years and I definitely wish I would’ve found S&O sooner in my recovery because each member of their staff really truly cares about not only getting you back on the field but making sure you know how to prevent injuries in the future. Thank you S&O team!Shannon Cooley

I came in this late summer (2022) for help with what I believed was a right hip impingement (from weightlifting) that wouldn't go away after five months of trying to fix on my own. After spending two months with Cassidy, the impingement is gone!! Cassidy was professional, friendly, an attentive listener, and thorough in her approach. I felt welcomed and at ease from the moment I walked in and was welcomed every session by Ang (apologies if I misspelled) and Lejla. There was always a warm and happy atmosphere thanks to the whole team! I couldn't imagine a better physical therapy experience. It was critical that I continued Cassidy's advice to stretch and do the recommended exercises at home so I'm thankful that I was also able to learn about my injury and continue injury prevention at home once I left their office. Sport and Ortho, and this location specifically, is my go-to if I ever have another injury again!M _

I went to Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy with back pain and knee pain from a knee replacement. The therapists explained to me how everything was connected and helped me understand the importance (and effectiveness) of stretching and strengthening to alleviate the pain I was feeling. They made sure that I was doing the prescribed exercises correctly (not just going through the motions) and prepared a program of exercises for me to do at home to achieve maximum benefit. The therapists and assistants were always professional and answered my (many) questions patiently and thoroughly. They spent a great deal of time with me one-on-one and I never felt rushed. Sports and Ortho Physical Therapy has helped me feel better than I have in many years. My range of motion improved tremendously and I was able to completely straighten my “replaced” knee. I would highly recommend Dahlia and her team.J Wood

I have spent a little over a year and a half receiving Invisalign and general dental work at printers row, so I feel that I have a rather large sample size of experiences at printers row dental. Tl;dr- 5/5. Best dental office I've encountered. Further details below. I had been on the fence for a couple years about Invisalign due to a gap in my front teeth that had always bothered me but Dr Ema helped me finally make one of the best investments I've ever made. She patiently sat down with me and discussed the whole Invisalign process and I came out learning about how having the proper teeth structure is just as important as the aesthetics (meaning if your teeth are aligned you will reduce wear and tear in the long run and other benefits). She was more than willing to provide a detailed breakdown of cost estimates (that she claimed were ballpark) but ended up being totally accurate. Dr Ema also took the time to educate me about the "propel" procedure which greatly expedited the Invisalign process (several months faster). During these procedures she would do everything to keep you comfortable and painless- I really liked her way of explaining what she was doing and what I would feel as she was working. Goes a long way to show she cares about her patients. I know the dentist is the most important part of what people are looking for when looking for a provider, but let me tell you the reason I stayed: the front desk people. Dylan and Alaina are perhaps the greatest administrators I've encountered in the professional world. They are on top of everything. Despite having numerous patients, both of them would always remember with frightening accuracy what procedure I was coming in for, what I needed next, and what I had before. They were aware of where I was in the process from start to finish and scheduled accordingly (note- this is very important when you are on a rigid schedule with Invisalign tray swaps). Furthermore, they dealt with insurance hassles and reimbursements with aplomb. Quite literally they have saved me thousands of dollars and countless hours of headache due to their insurance acumen. They're also just great people. If there was something I would change it would be the logistics of Invisalign adjustment trays. The timeline of invisalign was a bit understated due to corrections needed, (but was still very short in the grand scheme of things). This was warned about, but I thought it was unlikely to happen (but apparently pretty common). This is also out of the dentist's hands since it's on the manufacturer to produce and ship the invisalign trays, so may not be a fair criticism, but just something to be aware of. The end result is just having to wear your tray for a few weeks more as you wait for new ones outside of the normal plan. All in all, I will always go to printers row so long as I am in Chicago. The hygienists are skillful and accommodating, the admins are wizards, and Dr Ema is an excellent dentist with great bedside manners and deep industry experience. I've already recommended it to my friends and have one already receiving Invisalign treatment- maybe you'll be next!Manoj Sunny

As a kid, I always hated going to the dentist because my dentist was always pretty rough with his patients. I felt a lot of pain because the novocane never full worked. I could feel the drill drilling into my teeth. As an adult, those experiences always haunted me, so I rarely went to the dentist. Only teeth cleanings. A friend had recommended me to Printers Row Dentistry and she gave glowing reviews so I thought I would give it a try. Let me tell you, I was extremely nervous at first but Dr. Ema and her team were top notch professionals, friendly, explained the processes and they really took the time to explain how to care better for your teeth. Last week, I had two fillings replaced by Printers Row dentistry and, it was the most amazing dental experiences I had ever had. I thought I was gonna be in so much pain. I was totally wrong. Dr. Ema took the time to make sure I wouldn’t feel anything and made sure I was comfortable. The entire process was really painless and effortless. I really felt the weight of anxiety lift off my shoulders. Definitely look forward to coming again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 5/5 star!Chris K

I had a wonderful first visit to Dr. Ema's office on Saturday! I was looking for a dentist close to home and chose her based on recommendations from a neighborhood Facebook group. Dr. Ema and her staff were all very friendly and professional. I especially like that their offices are smaller as I felt thoroughly attended to and not like I was a patient on a conveyor belt as you can sometimes feel with larger/more busier offices. Dr. Ema explained everything she was doing as she conducted my exam/cleaning and reviewed her findings with me as she found them (after checking with me that I would feel comfortable/prefer this). She took ample time to listen to any concerns I had and to respond to them with enough detail that I fully understood everything. Nothing was pushed on me, helpful resources were shared, and I received a fantastic cleaning/polish with a plan for future care that assures me my dental health will be well looked-after. I highly recommend Dr. Ema and her practice to anyone looking for a new dentist in Chicago!Andie Bauer

First, here are my recommendations (I tried to put a positive spin) 1) Be professionals, learn to introduce yourself and explain what is going to happen, share findings, recommendation and next steps. 2) train your team to use proper techniques, develop finger/hands skills or whatever is that you need to use the tools in a proper way. Evaluate how your team does certain procedures, keep the bar high, keep them trained. 3) Do not dismiss patients' pain, concerns, fears, etc. You do this every day, patients sometimes see you because they have no other choice. 4) You are a business and you try to get more procedures to generate revenue, but put the patients care and needs first. Here is a summary of my experience: Sadly, I did not have a good experience. I have had many deep cleanings due to gingivitis and tartar buildup , so I had experienced skilled dentist professionals that have mastered the techniques, with soft fingers and hands that pay attention to details and are able to do this type of work with care and without inflicting unnecessary pain. But in this case, it was not only excruciatingly painful, but it was done so rough and without any care….then I heard I was the last appointment of the day (Friday), which may explain why they were in such a hurry. I think a dentist came (I am not sure, she never introduced herself…funny, nobody introduced themselves….front desk was the exception, they were super nice) , but only checked my teeth for 20 seconds, and I asked about any cavities or the situation with my gingivitis, but I only got was a sales pitch about doing some kind of cosmetic procedure to close the gap of my front teeth, because and I quote "You don't have a pleasant smile". I was baffled, not offended, but baffled that they would say such things to a patient. I asked again about the conditions of my teeth, cavities, gingivitis, etc. But the Doctor (I think she was a DDS) continued with her sales pitch about the cosmetic procedure. At the end, I was supposed to get some kind of recommendations for care, a special tooth paste to reduce gum inflammation, but I got nothing. Only a horrible experience.R L

I chose this place based on the majority of the reviews. Maybe they have the best hygienists in the Loop (or purchase the positive reviews overseas), but if you need to have any dental work done (including Invisalign), look elsewhere. I had an initial consult with one of the dentists almost 1.5 months ago. Was asked to do dental x-rays so they could get me a quote on all the dental services I was to do at that clinic. 4 phone calls and 1.5 month later, I still have yet to receive a quote on the proposal. I spoke to 2 people reminding them to send me the quote, they promised to follow up, none of which happened. Fast forward to today, I just got the bill for the x-rays though … It appears either the dentist I saw is incompetent, office is disorganized, or they just don't need 20k of my money (implant, Invisalign and some fillings). Word of advice, look elsewhere for your dentist. EDIT: After this business responded, I attempted to contact them via email and phone (as they requested), but have not received any response whatsoever. The bill for the X-Rays is still outstanding, but no quote which was the reason they took them. Unbelievable.Damian Styga

This place has gone way down hill since COVID. Their only redeeming qualities are the nice views and the wonderful desk staff. I've been coming to DD for years prior to COVID and had a wonder male dentist do my original veneers, using very sheer brand that break easily. They have chipped over the years and he always graciously replaced them for free. Well it's 2022 and I've been in a bike accident and chipped the front two. My dentist is no longer with DD, sadly, so I was made to pay $2k out of pocket for replacement veneers. I was then told I would need to wait 2 weeks for them (while wearing these hideously done temps). Well it's 2 weeks and I get a call saying they don’t know when they will arrive (literally call the lab? do something?). Will not be coming back here after this treatment process is complete (not that I know when that will be)Danyelle Sage

Treatment was top notch but billing department is the worst. I went in for my back to get treatment. I gave my insurance information to the front desk personnel and asked how much each session would be. My husband was changing jobs at the time and we needed to watch our finances. They told me it was covered 100%. I went 3 times a week which was what was recommended. I started getting bills 8 months later. When I asked what it was for, they told me my insurance did not cover it. I told them that I would not have gone 3 times a week if I had known I was going to have to pay 100% out of pocket. There were plenty of exercises I could have done on my own at home. They did not care and refused to work with me at all. Very disappointed.Annalicia Costello

Dr.Denis Nam /Rush Hospital Chicago did a knee revision surgery in August of 2022. Having had a previous knee replacement with a different doctor 5 yrs previously. I had some expectations. Dr Nam and his staff provided service/care that blew me out of the water. From the first appointment, X-rays, Dr visits and surgery schedule things worked like clockwork. I had surgery at Rush, received great care there as well. Now 3 weeks post surgery looking forward to receiving PT outside the home and ultimately getting back into swimming and hiking in the fall. It’s been a phenomenal experience and will sing Dr Nan’s and Rush hospital praise going forward. Thank youNancy Kramer

My experience was really great with Rush Orthopedics department. The office was very professional and clean from the beginning to end. My check in process easy and efficient, even my visit with Dr. Verma and his (resident) who was awesome by the way. Resident was hands on with a very complete examination of my knee, very thorough I appreciate the professionalism and the care that they gave me. He explained everything in detail and even with the discharge everyone was just pleasant overall it was a wonderful experience.Shanda Jackson

I came here for a consultation about wisdom tooth removal. Doctor was trying to sell me a lot of extra procedures which cost thousands of dollars. My estimated co-pay for wisdom tooth removal was several thousand dollars. I went for a second and a third opinion, and both surgeons explained to me why those extra procedures were neither recommended nor necessary for a young, healthy individual. I had my four wisdom teeth removed more than ten times cheaper under the same insurance policy at another facility. I felt fortunate that I didn't listen to the doctor at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Chicago and pay $$$ for those extras. However, I feel regretful that I wasted my time (making an appointment here is very difficult. They asked me to send in credentials via email but they didn't respond to my first four emails over the course of a month) and paid the consultation fee.QQ

Richard C. I came in for teeth extractions. The 2 girls at the front desk were great, Very patient with me, very professional. Perfect. Dr Vyas was 5 starts. Funny, very knowledgeable, explained everything on my level of education, kept my ride informed. Great bedside. Dy Vyas Crew was perfect. Very funny put me at ease great anesthesiologist. Every child me what they were doing and why. Perfect all aroundRich C

The business is closed with no warning or heads up for existing customers. I came to my appointment to face the closed office. See the photograph. I've been trying to reach to the office for the past 2 weeks. The owner posted an update to Google 5 days ago. What gives?Andriy Lesik

This is a very friendly office to visit which immediately make sure experience a very pleasant one. And this goes down the line from the doctor to his assistant to the receptionist who greet you when you enter the office. I see Dr. Kun who is a very carrying podiatrist and concerned about your health and well-being. He is very good at answering any questions you might have. His assistant will generally help me put my shoes back on which can be troublesome for me. When you are finished with the doctor either this assistant or the receptionist will schedule your next appointment if needed and then you were on the way. The bathrooms are down the hall from the office and are very modern and clean. The office is accessible by public transportation which I use. I highly recommend this practice.Bill Flapan

Cannot say enough good things about the Mag Mile Foot & Ankle team – particularly Dr. Khan. The staff is incredible, with quite possibly the best and friendliest receptionist/assistant ever, Oksana. Always greeted with a warm welcome when coming in and expediently taken back to get the appointment started. Dr. Khan is very personable with excellent bedside manner and really takes the time to understand your specific injury and also educate you on your injury while you're there. He clearly explains the recommended course of action, remembers you any time you come back for a follow-up, and continues to track your progress and update your recovery plan as needed to ensure you get back to 100%. I cannot recommend Dr. Khan and his staff highly enough.Daniel Ames

Met with Dr. Kahn 7/6/22. The exam was incomplete & hurried, yet he had the audacity to charge $215 & bill me $24.36. I called Rosa who was rude & ignorant refusing further discussion. I am still waiting for her manager to call which speaks volumes about your patient servicing. Your marketing is not in-sync with actual behaviors which were evident by my interaction with Rosa. What I see is what I get, which is nothing . Actions speak louder than words. The fact that you didn't identify yourself when writing your response is a testament to your arrogance & lack of professionalism. You're so preoccupied about being "right" that it has clouded your judgement & reasoning. I made a big mistake in choosing your office. Never again.Faustina Beninato

Dr Lotsu is one of the most unprofessional doctors I have ever met. I messaged him about the billing of the procedure, which I believed to be incorrect, and he gave me a call back. Never let me speak. Told me I am misguided and that he is a doctor so his word is right. Spoke to me very condescendingly….beware of coming here. I really hope he reconsiders how he treats patients and how he handles situations. Please ask yourself: is this the type of person I want to take care of my health? And why is he not held to the same standard as his front office, who are kind and great? Dr Lotsu is truly unprofessional and will be reported as such.D S

I had GI complaints and he sent me to a pulmonologist who found nothing, Dr. told me to wait until next year to get an endocscopy , PA is one of my issues and I had mold, discomfort, pain and phelgm and had to wait along time to get a first appt. After I was lucky enough to get a last min opening with another GI. He did a great intake and ordered extensive screening labs and found pancreatic insufficiency. They ordered a scan and found two large growth masses and I either have fibroids or cancer. They organized further testing and endoscopy. This is what an excellent doctor does.Karen Young

Update: had my scopes yesterday. Everybody was very nice, but most importantly they did a great job. I've been through these procedures many times before, and this was the best experience I've had. Prompt follow-ups, and great information passed along to me. Just had my initial consult with Dr Lotsu. He was kind, attentive, asked a lot of questions and then listened and allowed me to fully respond. Made me feel at ease. Definitely comfortable working with him.Pete Del Re

I have my life back thanks to proper balance . I am not exaggerating when I say the pain and exhaustion I was dealing with before treatment was nearly all consuming. All I could manage was going to work and going home, and I was miserable all day at work because of back spasms, in addition to all over soreness , frequent headaches, and more symptoms that were what I’d become accustomed to for quite some time. I was functioning at about 20-30%. When I went to visit Dr. Knox a few months ago, on the verge of tears because of my suffering , she was kind and understanding . She reviewed my anatomical issues with me based on my X-rays and and came up with a plan that included in-office adjustments a few times a week for a few months , and very manageable exercises to do at home. Today was the last visit of my treatment plan and I reported 100% recovery!!! Dr. Knox and her team REALLY know what they are doing. They are careful and tender with their patients . They customize treatment. They were so patient with me, at times being in a fog from exhaustion in the beginning of my treatment plan. Everyone who works at Proper Balance is kind, courteous, and professional. There is a calm vibe, and at visits everything just sort of flows in an optimal way. Even though my treatment plan is over and I have completely recovered , I will continue to do the exercises and maintenance visits Dr. Knox prescribed because I know I can and should entrust her with my health. I plan to make maintenance adjustments at Proper Balance part of a healthy future for me for the rest of my life. If you’re suffering – do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Knox and her team at Proper Balance. You’ll need to practice a little patience , and follow the treatment plan , because this isn’t a “quick fix”, it’s a holistic approach to real healing. If you do, you won’t regret it!!Erin White

Dr. Knox and the rest of the team truly helped me. I have had chronic migraines and reoccurring lower back pain for the past 8 years, so I have had experience with chiropractic care before coming to Dr. Knox. She truly got to the root of my ailments and used a combination of chiropractic adjustment, physical therapy, and some new therapies such as Shockwave and needlepoint injections (similar to acupuncture) to help with my pain and to help my body return to better functionality. I am genuinely amazed at how much I improved with their help. I used to waste half of my day whenever I had migraines (which grew in frequency with rain, stress, or PMS) because it hurt so bad that I'd lose eyesight, almost faint, and had extreme nausea. I dreaded rainy days thinking I could not do everything I wanted to achieve. However, now I haven't had a migraine for more than a month and I feel more in control of my life. I highly recommend Dr. Knox and everyone at Proper Balance Healthcare because they will help you holistically heal your body and feel a lot better!Sophia Carino

Been coming here consistently for about a year for massage therapy sessions. Sam has genuinely made a significant impact to how I go about my daily life. I engage in heavy lifting and intense exercise 6-7 days a week, and before had numerous back and neck problems as well as occasional injuries. Sam has helped in addressing all of the issues that I previously had and have had throughout the past year, and really goes above and beyond just the massage service. He's provided fantastic information and solutions to the concerns I've expressed and really acts as a consultant in addition to just providing the massage. He conveys his actions clearly during the sessions and checks in afterwards to make sure everything got resolved, and provides a plan of action in the next session if it's a persistent problem. Definitely looking forward to continuing massage therapy sessions here!Kevin Tang
