Family Practice near Skokie, IL

“I decided to visit the ER last evening due to numbness on the right side of my face and shoulder and neck pain I've had for awhile. It's true I had to wait about five hours to be seen because there were quite a few patients before me. I wasn't bored for a single minute because I had a chance to relax, pray, and read a book. I encountered some committed, competent, and compassionate healthcare professionals who took excellent care of me: Dr Greg Gawor, Triage Nurse Anne, nurses Maham, Julie, and Eugene, MRI Tech George, and admissions rep, Jasmine. My experience in this ER was outstanding in every respect. I am grateful for these professionals who do such important work with skill and care. I highly recommend this ER.”

“Had an appointment to see an orthopedic specialist. The check-in was quick. We were shown to a prep room right away, and a short medical interview: To confirm the reason for my visit, that I am the correct patient, standard paperwork. This was all done efficiently. A short wait for the specialist. Everything is going well.The specialist is straight-forward, precise, and sympathetic. He explains in easily understood language what my condition might be, and what we can do to improve it/me. I ask some questions and he has answers... some not too good to hear, but I'm glad to hear it from a professional, and not read about it from a website.He orders another procedure, which was quickly taken care of in the same building; that was very good. Done in no time at all. He orders additional therapy off-site, which will hopefully help correct my condition.Having the NorthShore app is excellent. The results are updated on it almost immediately, it's pretty intuitive, am I'm glad it's well-designed. Of course, having great people working on it makes all the difference. Today's experience at the NS Skokie location is very good. ?”

“This practice is great! Members of our family see Dr. Lane or Dr. Revis. Both are very thoughtful, intelligent and responsive to our needs. Today (a Sunday) my 90 year old mother had an issue and Dr. Lane responded quickly to our message via NorthShoreConnect and I had a prescription for her in hand within 3 hours. This is just the latest example.”

“Doctor Olena Gordon's medical practice is a prime example of excellence in healthcare. Her profound knowledge and expertise in medicine are apparent in every aspect of her work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her caring approach towards her patients, making each visit not just a medical routine, but a genuinely comforting experience.The office staff deserves a special mention for their wonderful demeanor. They are not only efficient and professional but also create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making patients feel at ease from the moment they step in.My recent annual check-up with Dr. Gordon was nothing short of remarkable. It was a comprehensive session including a blood test, urine test, blood pressure measurement, an ECG (heart diagram), a thorough physical examination, and a consultation. The efficiency of the process was outstanding – all of these were completed in under an hour, a feat that speaks volumes about the clinic's commitment to patient care and time management.Overall, my experience at Dr. Gordon's clinic was fantastic. It's rare to find such a blend of professionalism, warmth, and efficiency in healthcare today. I would highly recommend Dr. Gordon to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, caring, and efficient physician.”

“The first time I went to Dr. Salcedo, he saw my current list of prescriptions and noted 2 of the medications might interact. He pulled up a document to show me the risks, then presented me with several options.Giving me that autonomy was so indicative of who Doctor Salcedo is.This educated, patient-centered man never dismisses my concerns and takes me seriously. Women know that it can be hard to find a doctor who doesn't dismiss pain, fatigue, or mental health issues. He investes and empowers me with information and choices.His diligence and attention to detail has caught something important another doctor missed. He remembers things I say.The nurses and front desk staff are patient, empathetic, and professional. My documents are always handled with care, appointments always on time.I could shout my recommendations from the rooftop. Bless this man and this staff.”

“I woke up in the middle of the night with an obvious ear infection. I was able to schedule an appointment overnight for first thing the next morning. The team got me in quickly and I was on my way with my prescription for antibiotics within 30 minutes!”

“This office is amazing. All of the Dr’s and PA’s get to know you. Appointments are easily available and they offer telehealth and in person appointments. Not sure why previous reviews show wait times to be long, there has never been a long wait for us to see the Dr’s. Test results are also a quick turnaround. The staff at the front desk have always been pleasant.”

“Excellent diagnostician, extremely attentive and integrative.Cathie Dunal is my primary care physician and I've found her to be a thorough examiner and an excellent diagnostician. She takes as much time as necessary to gather info and provide feedback. The relationship is caring and personal. Her prescriptions for treatment range from standard to innovative. Her referrals to specialists have all been good.She is the opposite of the "Doc in a Box," and I appreciate having her as my doctor.”

“I've been a patient of Dr. Yokanas for 7 years now. She's one of the best doctors in the area. Yes, the wait time can long, but when it's your she'll still take the time for you. I've had a few major issues with my health and she's always been helpful. And the staff is great.”

“Started coming to Dr Otero about a few months. He formulated a plan for all my medical issues and I haven't felt better. He continues to monitor me and he's always available to answer any questions or concerns I have.”

“Been using this team of health care professionals for many years. I have moved to Wheaton and still travel back to NorthShore for my health care needs. I am very happy with my doctor and make the 35 mile trip. Fortunately I am in good shape and have been able to get back and forth.”

“Awesome facility with friendly front desk and doctors. Was fast and efficient. Only complaint is that the waiting room was like a sauna! I was sweating just sitting there. The staff looked affected by the heat as well. Hopefully they fix the A/C before my next appointment.”

“I had an initial appointment today after recently moving to the area, and it was HANDS-DOWN the best doctor’s office experience I’ve ever had in my life. I left feeling heard and affirmed and cared for. I’m so glad I found this office! Thank you for providing such affirming, safe care for everyone.”

“The physician who saw me today for a routine check up went above and beyond. Dr. Doss was unhappy to hear that a previous prescription I had was unaffordable for me, so she took extra time to find an alternative but equally effective prescription option. She also was very attentive in asking about my family history and took extra care after learning that I was adopted to make sure she had an understanding that I was aware of paying attention to any possible inherent conditions and gave me not negative responses, but positive encouragement to stay on top of my health. Social distancing was in full swing at the Deerfield office, and the desk attendants were very diligent in directing patients as such.”
