Medical Clinics near Lake Forest

“I was nervous about my appointment, but Betsy put me at ease. She was very efficient knowledgeable. Did her job well and I was very impressed. The staff is great and very courteous.“

“I strongly recommend TruStem for someone with a neurological issue.

I have a C9orf72 pathogenic mutation which causes frontotemporal degeneration / dementia and ALS. I started having symptoms in 2019 when I got lost driving home. About 2 years ago I developed a stutter and found that my brain seemed cloudy. It became exhausting to talk and to listen to people - took a lot of effort to process. There is no treatment, no cure and no way to slow progression. The defect causes loss of neurons in my brain and also causes clumps of bad proteins to build up in my brain.

I decided to try stem cell therapy because I know someone who used it for COPD with a positive effect. It’s not FDA approved for FTD and I wasn’t expecting much. I decided to use TruStem because they use my own stem cells - the local places use stem cells from other sources.

I completely amazed at the impact. My stutter is virtually gone. I am finding my way around better. My brain seems clearer and it is not as exhausting to talk or to listen.

The process was easy, the bone marrow withdrawal was unpleasant but not painful. But frankly even if it wasn’t easy and it was painful I would still do it.

I can’t say that everyone will respond the way I have but it really helped me and I have recommended it to everyone in my FTD group. It has given me hope for a terminal incurable untreatable neurodegenerative illness.“

“Dr Tojo is a wonderful and caring doctor. He is very thorough when medical issues happen.“

“Dr. Luell and staff made me feel welcome. I came in for neck pain and they got me in right away.
The neck is feeling better as well.“

“No one wants to deal with lice but if we have to I’m glad we have this place. Myself, my husband, and my 4 year old were treated and it felt like we were old friends. They were experts and so professional. We were educated in preventing lice too. Hope we don’t have to come back lol but if we do have lice again or a notice of lice from school we will back asap.“

“This was a great experience I came in with a extreme back pain. Right away felt more relieved from my lower back. (Couldn’t walk by myself because I was stable enough to do so), within the third or fourth season I was able to walk again by myself. I kept coming in for other certain issues from my back and shoulders. Really helped out to relax my body and also feel fresh to restart on my fault routines.
Everyone is really nice and polite. Recommend coming in for either any pain or just in general for a check up.“

“Office personnel very professional and friendly. Doctor Barsky was very thorough and very helpful as was her assistant. She gave me instructions on how to take care of the procedure she did for me and wanted to follow up with me in a couple of months. I have been going to her for many years and have been very happy.“

“This is one of the best medical clinics around. They are kind and super efficient. Dr Heggen is a profoundly knowledgeable physician with a perfect bedside manner. He is just what patients need to get better and to transform one’s health. He is no-nonsense, straightforward and logically executes a great application of medicine.“

“The staff very friendly the doctor knows what is doing very clean , I recommend this place to anyone. Very very happy ,“

“Dr Micheal is by far nothing short of a magician. 5 years ago I came to him with spinal issues and could not even put socks on. Herniated and slipped disks. I was not only back walking, bending and moving, but I was golfing throughout the entire summer with his physical therapy tactics and adjusting of the entire back. He is very personable, professional and reliable. I am a plumber in the trades and heavy lifting is my daily routine, I couldn’t do anything without the help and assistance from this crew! To this day I continue to go in periodically as needed. Thank you guys for all that you do!“

“My 5 year old daughter had her very first eye exam at Eye Optique. The doctor was very professional, kind, and made her feel comfortable throughout the visit. We were also impressed by the very short wait - we were seen within just a few minutes of arriving.
Over the years, I've taken my older child to several eye clinics, and Eye Optique is by far the best practice we've visited. Thank you for making my daughter's first eye exam such a seamless and positive experience!“

“Dr Elvove was a great doctor; patient and one of very few doctors to take the time and care to assist women in choosing home births. He delivered 2 of my 4 children, at home, successfully. That was years ago, but I just wanted to get a good word in for him. AND for Dr. STARKMAN, who took over his practice. I'm very happy with Dr. STARKMAN. Great care, wonderful assistance and personal care and treatment, for years I've been going to him. Thank you.“

“I’ve gone to Hui a couple times to address some sinus issues and she’s been beyond helpful. I am so grateful my cousin recommended her - I’ve never tried acupuncture or cupping and it’s helped me in ways OTC medicine or antibiotics haven’t been able to do. Thank you so much Hui for being so transparent and sharing your skills and talents with all of us!“

“Extremely satisfied. This doctor has always been there for me at my worst. My recent visit, he spent time going through my lab results explaining what was going on. He made some great suggestions on supplements (I am not a fan of taking prescription medication, unless absolutely necessary). He also made suggestions on life style modifications that would improve my situation and make me more resilient against future problems.“

“I was very nervous going here, but this quickly went away once I spoke with Assistant Alex and Dr.Marcus Talerico! Sheila Xray assistant was awesome too! They were all very kind, spirited and professional. Dr. Talerico explained everything in detail to me before my shot and today I feel a little better while working! I am very appreciative of this team! Thank you guys so much!!! Sincerely Navy wife“

“As a longtime patient at this practice, I am perpetually amazed by the quality of care and focus from the physicians. This is not a cookie-cutter practice. Doctors spend a tremendous amount of time understanding the patient and carefully reviewing medical history and needs. They are kind, thorough, and dedicated advocates. Anyone looking for a primary care provider would be lucky to get into this practice.“

“I am extremely impressed by the quality of the facility, but most importantly, the quality of care is phenomenal. I had the pleasure of having PA Wendy take care of me, and it is evident that she has passion for patient care and truly cares about the wellbeing of those she evaluates/treats. I highly recommend CWP. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

“I visited Fine Spine Health and Wellness Center for a session with Dr. Inna and I couldn’t be happier!
Dr. Inna is a true professional: attentive, caring, and very knowledgeable about how the body works. I felt real relief and relaxation after the visit.
The atmosphere at the center is calm, cozy, and very clean.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality care and real results!“

“Wonderful first time experience with Premier (since the merge with Fairview Peds) appointment was with Dr Friedman. He was very informative and took his time answering our questions. My son & I both felt comfortable and not rushed!“

“We just had our baby here and it was an amazing experience! Had a c section, the surgery went fast and well (my husband was allowed to be in the OR) - everything was done in 15 min (plus some more 20 minutes for stitching). The baby was delivered safely, medical team was checking on both me and baby every hour for the first 24 hrs. All doctors, nurses and technicians are incredibly supportive and sweet, always pleasant to talk to. Lactation specialist Tanya was incredibly helpful, she took over three hours to walk me through breastfeeding and pumping (this is my first baby, so I didn’t know much). Nurse Kelly showed us how to bathe the baby, how to change diapers effectively - lots of useful things while being very caring and kind towards both me and my husband and the baby. The rooms are spacious and comfortable - with private showers and a pull out couch-bed for husband / support person to stay overnight. This was absolutely amazing experience, I had no idea I can feel so good right after the birth. Hospital food was great too!“

“I adore Patricia Czarnecki, APN-CNP who went above and beyond to help me with my rabies titer testing and Lyme testing (hazards of the day job). She listened intently and had a wonderful sense of humor. Greatly appreciate her!“

“I don’t agree with the old reviews—this place is fantastic. I’ve never had any issues here. The front desk staff are friendly and attentive, and the nurses and doctors are excellent! Don’t let the old reviews mislead you. Things have improved significantly over time, and it’s definitely for the better.“

“The staff was friendly and seemed knowledgeable. I was there late in the day on a holiday, so they did seem somewhat rushed.“
