About Illinois Spine Institute
The Illinois Spine Institute is a medical facility with a team of doctors, including Dr. Graf and Dr. Babak Lami. Dr. Graf is described as a great doctor who is knowledgeable, straightforward, and explains treatments clearly. He provides proper care for patients with spine issues and is recommended by those who have visited him. However, there are also complaints about Dr. Babak Lami. One patient had a negative experience, claiming that Dr. Lami lied about their treatment and wrote false reports to insurance companies. They felt that he was more interested in helping insurance companies than helping patients. This patient strongly advises against visiting the office. On the other hand, another patient had a positive experience with Dr. Lami, praising him as fantastic and professional throughout their surgery and recovery. They found the office staff to be professional and the physical therapy services to be helpful. Despite some negative reviews, this patient's experience suggests that the Illinois Spine Institute may have a mixed reputation.
My experience with Illinois Spine Institute for my lower back pain was exceptional! Dr. Graf was thorough and patient as he explained the diagnosis and surgical procedure. The surgery was quickly scheduled and was successful. With the exercise program created by physical therapist, Chris Nguyen, I am once again pain free and back to my active life. If I ever experience back pain again or need physical therapy, I will return to Illinois Spine Institute! Debbie M.
Dr Graf is a great doctor. He is very knowledgeable and really straightforward. He made sure I received the proper treatment I needed for my injury. Dr Graf explained every treatment/procedure very well and always answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend Dr Graf to anyone suffering from any spine issues.
