advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Extremely appreciative of being able to meet face to face with Dr. Papenfuss in Oshkosh rather than Milwaukee WI.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Dr recommended an allergist after looking up the allergist she is not in the network. When I attempted to find out what to do by calling my secondary insurance. I get paramedics and fire department sent to my door. Last 2,time someone was taken from my building by EmT one died in the hospital, the other died in nursing home. I guess if I live to 2025 and retired USPS employee may stand a chance of surviving when OPM takes over our health insurance.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Not a good one!!! I felt I was basically pushed out to go home before I was ready to leave. I was still groggy and unsteady. I also truly believe I was over anesthetized. I have never had such a reaction to anesthesia before and I have had many procedures. Another thing was that their BP machine was not working properly. I told them but, they really didn't listen to me, After the procedure, they again wouldn't listen when my pulse/ox was only 85 and warning alarm would not stop. Finally they, themselves realized the machine wasn't functioning properly after they had me pretty much hyperventilating. More to this but too long to explain here. I was very unhappy with my entire experience and would be leary to recommend WAMH. Possibly they had an off day, but was not a pleasant experience. | WA GI | Aurora West Allis Medical Center | Mia | Manabat | Outpatient Services | 1,703,979,278 | Internal Medicine - Gastroenterology | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Franklin | Outpatient Surgery + Magnet 2 - OAS | What else would you like to say about your experience? |
advocate aurora health | 11,146 | This is one of the best medical appointments I have ever experienced. I have never had a provider ask about a history of trauma or abuse prior to a gynecological exam, and I was so appreciative of Dr. Delfinado's trauma-informed approach. Additionally, she was very thorough, kind, patient, attentive, and empathetic of my very challenging recent medical history, which she had clearly read about in my chart prior to entering the room for my appointment. She thoroughly addressed all of my questions and made me feel cared for. I will certainly recommend her to others. I was so impressed. | Chicago 4025 Western OB | Advocate Medical Group | Leah | Delfinado | Medical Practice | 1,690,179,863 | Obstetrics & Gynecology | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Chicago | Medical Practice | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | The front desk receptionists are always pleasant. This time was over and above. As I was waiting to be called in for my doctors appointment, I overheard a conversation at the reception desk. Apparently a couple could not find the place they were supposed to give blood. The blood drive they were looking for was in the same complex. It appeared to be a return stop at the reception desk because they couldn't find the door they were supposed to enter for the blood drive. The guy was calm but the woman was loud and rude to the receptionists. They kept calm while trying to assist the two folks. They somehow determined that the blood drive was the next day! They told the couple. The couple eventually left with the woman still giving them a hard time - even though the couple had the wrong date! Extra compliments to the two young ladies that endured the abuse. Tracy is the only name I know because she checked me in. I don't know the other young lady's name. They both represented Advocate in an outstanding way. | Chicago Imani Village 901 95th Family Practice | Advocate Medical Group | Julie | Taylor | Medical Practice | 1,685,314,713 | Family Medicine | Female | ENGLISH | BLACK | Chicago | Medical Practice | What else would you like to say about your experience? |
advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I always feel that I am treated well by the Doctor and his staff. They call me to check on numbers for Blood Pressure and sugar quite often.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I was not in pain when I started with him but when it returned it was downplayed by him. He gave me minimal doses of prednisone and my symptoms never went away. I feel that he was humoring me and not taking it seriously. He focused solely on the lab results and the movement of my arms and hand swelling. I reported to him that I was not feeling better except for areas that had nothing to do with my condition and he did nothing. When he again referred to my labs being normal I pointed out that they had been done after I had started the medication and while I was taking an anti-inflammatory. He agreed to order a new testing. When the results showed one was elevated I messaged him to inquire if I was going to finally increase my dose? I received a phone message 7 weeks later from someone saying that they wanted to ask me about it. Since it was less than a week before my appointment with him I didn't return the call. I had already read his notes from that visit where he said he felt it was osteoarthritis vs PMR. At the visit he didn't mention the labs until I brought it up and then he said he was sorry about that but it was probably elevated because of my osteoarthritis. I asked why he felt that and he told me he based it on all the diagnostic tests. I asked what tests he was referring to? He showed me an X-ray of my shoulders and neck that I had done by someone else before a cortisone injection. No testing has ever been done specifically for the SymptomsI have other than the labs. His notes list the rheumatologists I have seen previously by name with a remark that I left the last one because it was too far. I feel that it implies that I am doctor hopping when in fact I have had 4 because 1quit Aurora, his partner ( who treated me to remission) retired, I would have had to wait 6 months to be seen by him and I couldn't even sit so I had to go to one that was a 45 minute drive. So I made the appointment and switched to him 6 months later. He has now ordered tapering off the steroid with a plan to see me in 6 months. I should let him know if I have any problems but he doesn't expect me to have any. Since it hasn't helped me yet I don't expect much change from the pain I have been experiencing for months. I read this visit's note and was surprised to see that I have no pain or symptoms at this time but he did order more labs. I have never been without pain and symptoms were only better the one week I was on 10 mg of prednisone ( but not completely gone)and he ordered me to reduce to 7.5 mg for a week and then back to 5 where I have been for months now. I am more than a little concerned about what the future months will be like but I am happy with my primary care doctor and will have to rely on her to help me through this year. She told me last visit that she could refer me to another doctor if it didn't improve. I am looking forward to my next birthday because I can get Medicare and see a rheumatologist outside of Aurora for any future issues. I'm looking for someone who cares about me and wants a solution to my problem versus someone who wants me to report that what they tried was helpful even though it wasn't. Months of inadequate medication has left me with side effects without the benefits to outweigh the risks. | BRK Rheumatology | Aurora Medical Group | Srikanth | Bathula | Medical Practice | 1,692,386,852 | Internal Medicine - Rheumatology | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Milwaukee | Medical Practice | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | The Dr I saw ( don't remember his name) was beyond incredible. I felt like his only patient and he thoroughly took his time to not only examine me but to listen to me. That was not the case with the other Dr I saw at Aurora two weeks prior. Had she taken her time to exam me, I would not have been back to the walk-in clinic. But, I'm thankful to have met this last Dr I saw.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | In seeing this provider, the nurse was rude. She cut me off as I spoke about what was happening with my son. Then upon going into the room to wait for the doctor. My son I waited until 20 minutes after the set time for my appointment. I had to walk out and ask where the doctor was. Then when the doctor showed she had a medical student with her but didn't ask me if it was okay for them to be in the room with us. She didn't recheck his temperature or seemed like she had experience with children. His normal care provider guides me when having to hold my son when he's being examined and even shows a toy to help distract him. This doctor seemed completely uncomfortable and despite my son being sick there was no suggestion of redoing an rsv/covid/ or flu test. I was not give a definitive diagnosis at all. She did not mention any follow up at all if he continues to exhibit these symptoms for a long period of time. | Park Ridge Yacktman 1675 Dempster Peds | Advocate Medical Group | Jaime | Novales | Medical Practice | 1,680,360,186 | Pediatrics | Male | ENGLISH | WHITE | Chicago | Medical Practice | What else would you like to say about your experience? |
advocate aurora health | 11,146 | The personal were all great. Wasn't happy that the care was all done in the hallway. They didn't have enough rooms for everyone. That to me was not professional. The establishment isn't big enough. The nurses don't have supplies they need in the hallways, or equipment. To me this is very sad for a new hospital.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | The sign-in process is so tedious and time consuming. At one point I was the only person there and the lady working at that time told me it would be at least a 45 minute wait and there was an appt ahead of me. It was actually about a 5 minute wait until she called me in. The visit was fine. It was a "virtual" visit which was not ideal, as the connection kept dropping. I was prescribed antibiotics and I said to go ahead and send them to that location as I'd wait to have it filled. She said to check with the pharmacy to see the wait time and sent me on my way. I went and stood at the pharmacy counter for a few minutes- behind the counter, the workers kept glancing at me but never saying a word. Eventually another person was standing in line behind me, and as I was continually ignored I was feeling really lightheaded so I decided to grab my chloraseptic and have my husband pick up the rx later. I've had bad experiences with the clinic and pharmacy there before and I try to avoid it if possible, but as there was literal snowstorm going on I needed to go to the closest clinic possible. I think this location is very busy and very understaffed which is why I will continue to avoid it. | ACST | Advocate QuickCare at Walgreens | Jennifer | Hemmer | Retail Clinics | 1,681,494,617 | Nurse Practitioner - Family | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Chicago | Retail Clinic | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I always have chosen Lutheran General over hospitals that are closer to me, but this visit changed my mind. The ER was fine, although they had trouble with my veins (which has never happened before). The first nurse I had on floor 7 was good, but the rest were inattentive and pretty much left me on my own. Questions went unanswered, and I was not at all listened to, but was interrupted any time I tried to ask questions or get information. Communication between medical providers seemed to be nonexistent. and I was without important medication for an entire day. First I was told I couldn't eat or have any water, then I was told I could at 10 pm (after my family had left so I wasn't able to get anything to eat). I had no idea I was going to end up in the hospital for 2 nights, and it seemed like I could have been discharged after one if communication had happened. I am sorely disppointed and will never choose Lutheran again. | LGH 7TWR | Advocate Lutheran General Hospital | Steven | Mutchnik | Inpatient | 1,714,715,584 | Urology | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Palatine | Inpatient + Magnet 2 - OAS | What else would you like to say about your experience? |
advocate aurora health | 11,146 | It was a terrible experience from start to finish. Mistakes mistakes mistakes. Inexcusable!! The mammogram tech was looking at the wrong chart when she started going over my information and she had just checked my wrist band. There was even a question about my wristband When it came to my ultra sound it was a disaster. Prior to my appointment I had talked with the financial department at the hospital about my financial responsibility and had received in writing what it would be. On the day of my appointment I was told I owed much more and I tried to explain to the person to check my chart and kept telling me I didn't know what I was talking about. After several minutes of being harassed and causing much anxiety she finally took the time to further investigate and realized she was wrong. This was a totally inexcusable situation I spent considerable time prior to my appointment taking care of knowing what my financial responsibility would be so just this very thing would not happen the day of my appointment | LGH MAMMO | Advocate Lutheran General Hospital | Anna | Mikos | Outpatient Services | 1,689,831,865 | Advanced Practice Midwife | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Northbrook | Outpatient Testing + Magnet 2 | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I explained to the dr that I had herpes on my forehead. I tend to break out when my body is stressed. I also do have Covid. And I also have to go to do things for the army that require a haircut and shave. I am extremely contagious when I have herpes, my entire wrestling team had it in less than a week. I know how contagious this can be from experience. I asked for a note to allow me to not shave and get a haircut as needed for the army. It happens from time to time once or twice a year. Everyone has herpes, I have herpes, cold sores are herpes. I understand that but I have a more aggressive strand. He told me "until you have a medical degree then you can't argue with me, you just don't want a haircut or want to shave" I don't abuse this at all I am always clean shaved for the army. There are times a break out and it makes my life harder to have to go to the dr before I drive 5 hours for a drs note. I also asked for an rsv test because I don't know what I have. He responded no you don't have that, that vaccine and test only because popular because Pfizer wants to make money. I hope I don't have to see this dr in urgent care again.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I like Advocate a heck of a lot more than the health system my son and I are currently patients of. The one thing I wish there was more of was communication. I'm a single mom and wasn't able to take off work, so thankfully my mom was able to spend most of the time in the hospital with my son. The only updates I received were from my mom. I wish a doctor/nurse/anyone would have called me or sent me an email or anything.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Dr. Hani assured me in our office visit how the stress test would be conducted but did not follow through on his instructions. He told me that I could do the stress test without chemicals but yet the test was set up to use chemicals knowing I previously had a bad experience with chemicals. He was not available to explain or change the test. No one in the department would allow me to proceed with the test unless chemicals were used. It was a waste of a morning!

A week later I still have sinus infection due to lack of prescription. Kinda expect to get some kind of service for the money I paid for the visit. I will really reconsider ever going to walk in clinic again. Priti Patel was the dr. Just found it disappointing that they really pushed for extra tests that had nothing to due with my symptoms.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I was instructed to go to urgent care from my dr due to abdominal pain occurring over 2 days with nausea. I was working at Aurora grafton hospital at the time and came 5 minutes up the road to the urgent care to be checked out instead of the more expensive route of going to the ER in grafton. While waiting for my results I could hear the people in the lab talking about me and why I came to the urgent care and not grafton hospital where I was working, I heard them saying I could've just went to GMOB for my lab work. They also jokingly said they would just send my blood work back with me to the hospital since that's where it goes anyway. There was also a mix up with how my urine pregnancy test was performed, they were supposed to have results of the pregnancy test before proceeding with the X-ray, but there was a mix up and it was not resulted before the X-ray. I found all this information out by overhearing their conversations about me.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | It took almost 2 weeks from my U of Wisc. surgeon requesting an approval for surgery for me to have a 5 minute test. One week of that was spent with the surgeon's office trying to communicate with the Advocate Heart Institute. The surgeon's office faxed their request for surgery approval to the Heart Institute on 4 different days without success. The only way to successfully communicate with your office was with a mailed letter. So a week of trying to fax, and then a week of waiting for a letter. Although the scheduler said she tried calling the surgeon's office, without an answer, when I gave her a direct line she should call, that never happened.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | We were looking to establish with a new pcp. Unfortunately, it will not be Dr. Draper. Dr. Draper didn't perform a complete assessment. I find this alarming as the visit was for a new patient. He didn't listen to heart, lungs, look in ears among other things. He didn't ask any historical questions and was dismissive, hurried, and snapped when I questioned the suggested treatment for the hip pain my son is having. He spitefully ordered physical therapy when I asked if an X-ray would be appropriate. At the front desk, I asked to be added as a guardian that can view all of my son's medical records. No one knew how to do it and stated it's not possible for me to view records. I definitely want a record of what was performed during this visit.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I simply wanted a drug test to be done on my child because I had reasonable suspicion something was in her system. 1) I was told there was no drug test available 2) I called an outside source who stated I could ask for a blood draw or urine sample 3) I requested this and the doctor asked my underage daughter if she consented to this. I don't know about your hospital's protocols, but I am the parent. She is 14. 4) A PSR came into the room and I signed a form giving me the right to make decisions 5) Once I had asked for a blood or urine sample, all of a sudden the nurse, doctor, PSR, and the PSR manager were in the ER room, looking at me oddly, and asking if I was feeling okay. WHAT?!? They continued to ask if I had been seeing a doctor recently and what my blood sugars were. 6) I feel this had absolutely nothing to do with asking for a simple blood draw or urine sample. 7) I felt the need to call authority, as I did not feel safe in your facility. 8) A police officer arrived. I explained my situation regarding a simple test and that I was being questioned regarding this. 9) I left with my daughter and will not be returning to your establishment ever again. 10) In addition, I will be telling others about my experience in the emergency room.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | For my experience, the nurses were great, Medical student was great. But the PA I saw didn't really acknowledge my issues and seem to downplay everything. He didn't offer options for what I was going through, and guided the discussion more with 'what would you like me to do?' I followed up three days later with an infectious disease doc, and way more was accomplished in that one meeting. I felt the ED ended up being a waste of time, even though I was directed to go there. Three days later, I was diagnosed with likely lymphedema and referred to a specialist. There was not even a hint of that at my ED meeting. Having never had health problems until six months ago, I had only been to an ED once in my life. I went to West Allis, six months prior and had fabulous care, concerned, providers, thoughts of what might be going on, etc. i'm not sure I'll go to West Allis again the next time, if there is a next time that I need to go to an ED. | AWAMC ED | Aurora West Allis Medical Center | Jason | Tomasello | Emergency | 1,685,427,439 | Emergency Medicine | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Milwaukee | Emergency Department + Magnet 2 | What else would you like to say about your experience? |
advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I felt like my doctor lectured me in a way that was unhelpful. He did not try to understand or get more information. My doctor did an exam to see if I had BV or a yeast infection and never followed up. When I followed up they said an error had occured with the lab and they had called me to let me know. They did not leave a voicemail despite me giving permission and did not send a MyChart message, so I had no way of knowing they had contacted me. My doctor then told me to just start taking the BV medicine he had prescribed before doing the test to see if it gets better. I cannot easily afford doctors appointments as my insurance is not great and it was difficult for me to make this one work so I'm very frustrated this test did not work. I feel like they should have offered to do another test without charging me so I could get the care I paid for. | OSC Family Practice | Aurora Medical Group | George | Lessmann | Medical Practice | 1,695,058,608 | Family Medicine | Female | ENGLISH | WHITE | Oshkosh | Medical Practice | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | They gave no answers after 2 hours. On Monday when I went to my chiropractor both the chiropractor and receptionist had more answers in 5 minutes than Aurora in 2 hours. Aurora did blood work which showed nothing. They did a chest scan that told them nothing. I dont believe the blood thinner medication they gave me which was 60 tablets at over $700.00 with NO generic is a waste. Answers would have been nice. They wanted me to stay overnight and I said no because they wanted to do a EKG that I felt should have been done the same day. If I could get personal physicians services I might feel different. For er services Aurora is convenient but again after 2 hours of no answers I felt like they wanted me to stay to charge insurance more. The blood thinner they gave me I hope is a small charge. I feel that a blood pressure only needs to be done once. Everything they did and it did not address the issue I went there for.seeing staff the first 10.minutes and sitting for 1 hr 45 minutes was frustrating. Asked numerous times name and.birthdate was not necessary as I was in the same spot the entire time. Better communication would be nice and address the issue more quickly.

I arrived at my appointment was greeted by an office staff member who explained the doctor is booked out for two years and would see me as urgent care appointment not as a future medical practitioner. She wanted to know (per Dr. Crumbliss) the specifics regarding my visit. The office staff member continued to tell me the person who booked the appointment "would be spoken to." Needless to say, Dr. Crumbliss was highly recommended by both a medical specialist and a friend. The both of them raved about Dr. Crumbliss medical "bedside manner." Unfortunately, that was not my experience: my appointment was booked four months ago-if there was a need to cancel it should have been cancelled months ago, I was asked the reason for the visit (violation of the HIPAA Laws) and a staff member was going to be reprimanded (for doing their job).

The provider was very nice but did not do a decent exam. It was the briefest, no effort, half-assed (pardon my language but that's what it was) attempt at an exam I have ever had - and I'm 50, I've had lots of exams. Whats also disappointing is this used up my yearly exam for insurance purposes so I cannot go get another checkup/well patient exam for one year. I could have had a friend listen to my heart/lungs, almost look in my ears, glance in my mouth, and fake tap my tummy three times for free. That was literally the entire exam and it took her maybe two to three minutes tops. Only a few very basic generic questions were asked, no specific questions about my health.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I had 2 previous experiences with Dr. Gaenslen when he did surgery on both my right and left wrists at different times, obviously, for carpal tunnel symdrome. (He's also been helping my husband deal with multiple problems in his wrists.) I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gaenslen. And trust me, I would never go back to a doctor I didn't trust or like. He's so humble and yet so competent.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | My PCP referred me in hopes I could get a steroid injection for debilitating shoulder pain. Dr. Darr rushed in and out, confirmed a diagnosis I already had, referred me to PT (which Im already doing) and never addressed the reason I was there (pain management) except to say I would have to schedule with a different doctor if i was "interested in an injection." I left in tears and now have to wait until Feb. 1 to see someone else.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Looking back on my notes and after visit summary multiple things were incorrect. I went in thinking I had food poisoning and explained all my symptoms.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | There's a lot of patients sitting in the emergency room with a serious condition. They waited five, six hours to get inside. Inside treatment was great, but outside making those patients sit for five, six hours, it's an abuse. It's a serious abuse. And people, they go to emergency to take care right away, and you make them sit for six to eight hours. That's not right.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I was very disappointed with the check-in process. When beginning to register at the kiosk, it says if you're experiencing any swelling to let the attendant know or call 911, so I walked over to a lady working in the end cube and told her I'm having an allergic reaction and my mouth and throat were swelling. So she asked me if I was having difficulty breathing and I told her yes. Well she told me to go have a seat and someone will call me, so in the meantime my husband was still registering me at the kiosk. After about 5 minutes or so, I walked back over and got the attention of a lady standing behind the 3 cubed wearing a mask. I told her what I'm experiencing and in 2 minutes or less another lady called me to a cube and got me checked in, and shortly after that a nurse named Gladys came and got me and took me to a room and began working on me. Gladys and Dr. M (don't want to butcher his name) were totally awesome and professional and made me feel at ease. Someone there needs to talk to the attendant who seemed to just kind of put me on ignore and showed no kind of concern whatsoever. Again, she was sitting at the end cube and had straight shoulder length hair. I called later to get some clarification on my meds prescribed, and an awesome nurse named Rose helped me and was totally professional and showed compassion like Gladys and Dr. M. Someone needs to send that uncaring attendant back through training, or reassignment to somewhere she doesn't have to deal with checking in patients because she had no compassion and it came across as rude. | Royal UC | Advocate Sherman Hospital | Mohd | Mohiuddin | Urgent Care | 1,689,783,005 | Family Medicine | Female | ENGLISH | DECLINED | Elgin | Urgent Care + Magnet 2 | What else would you like to say about your experience? |

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | I was in extreme pain when I tried to get an appointment with Dr. Rameriez, She was not available for 1 week so I was refereed to Jonathan Manely, CNP. He had no idea why I had such extreme shoulder paid and called in Dr. Giese, who also had no idea why I was suffering so. The only thing Dr. Giese provided was a sheet showing him doing arm exercises and thought I should try them and also check on U Tube for additional exercises. Since I could not raise my arm any higher than 8 inches with extreme pain, this was absolutely no resolution to my problem and I thought was very insulting since I was suffering in such pain. Since my visit, I have been diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and am under a "real" physicians care providing medications and treatment for my condition. Perhaps the doctors in this practice should listen to the patients rather than "brushing off" their comments and concerns and providing absolutely nothing for problem resolution or care.

advocate aurora health | 11,146 | Our experience with Dr. Pesch last bight was awful. She was very rude to us and spoke to us like we were stupid. She yelled at me for not giving Greyson Vitamin D which I was never verbally told to do. She stated, "It has been in all his after visit summaries so I don't understand how you would not know that". She then asked if he was on formula before drinking milk and I told her yes and she said oh that's why we didn't say to give him vitamin D at past appointment. She never apologized for yelling at me. She argued with Greyson's Dad and was very unprofessional. She said vitamin D was only needed in Wisconsin in winter and Greyson's Dad responded with vitamin D is needed in the south, as well. Dr. Pesch responded with "Whatever, I've lived in the south before. I've not ever seen anyone with a vitamin D deficiency". When I asked her for a note for daycare stating that Greyson got some shots and may develop a fever she refused and said she saw a patient recently who ended up developing a fever 3 days later and it was from the flu not the vaccinations. I said that a note had been written before so I don't understand why we can't write a note to daycare. She spoke to me like I was stupid the whole time. She did not explain to us why what we were saying wasn't medically right She had an attitude the whole time. We have been seeing Dr. Pesch for at least a year and she had been so nice. After this experience we will be switching pediatricians. Someone who will listen to us, explain clearly, and speak to us like we are parents and adults.
