Looking for Family Dr.

I don't know where you live, but my family doctor is great. His office is in Niles (corner of Milwaukee and Oakton) and he is affiliated with Lutheran General in Park Ridge, here is his profile:

I have been seeing him since I was in college, now he takes care of me, my husband, two kids (3mo and 2 years) and my parents and sister have just started seeing him.

We go to the MJ Medical Group, with Dr. Jutovsky and Dr. Clark. I like them because I like both doctors, so if one is busy I'll take the other with no concerns; also, Dr. Clark is a woman, which I prefer for gynecological issues. It's a teaching clinic, and they're very respectful. Both doctors and all the nursing staff are great with my son, who is four. Also, they are really good about getting you in fast, especially for your child.

Hello A..
I want to urge you to follow up with a neurologist right away, in addition to finding a family practice physician. You may have experienced a sydrome called a TIA (transient ischemic attack) that COULD be a precursor to a stroke. I don't mean to scare you; it could just be that you've had serious migraines, but I would hope you can rule out the more dangerous possibilities. There are many kinds of stroke-like events that can be useful in finding the source of your headaches as well.
Dr Sean Ruland, Dr Corian Thomas are excellent. They are neurologists at UIC. My husband went to them when he was experiencing loss of vision and funny headaches more and more frequently over the course of a few months. They sent him for a special MRI and did a few other tests. They wanted to evaluate him for any vascular anomolies. It turned out he had migraines-- however he never experienced unilateral tingling.
I am a former neuro-ICU nurse, so you can feel free to contact me if you like. Again, I highly recommend the above neurologists.
I know Dr Figueroa--she has a wonderful manner--very interested, committed and talkative.
I like my doc alot-- she is a GP at Northwestern: Dr Lisa Orelind.
Good luck.

http://www.homefirst.com/ They have many locations and they are very good. Also I was struggling with terrible migrains went to the hospital 3 different occasions and gone to all the specialist some ALL FLEX vitimines from home 1st and Ive been feeling great. Hope works for u I know how horrible it is.

I'm not sure where you live, but for my daughter we use Associated Pediatrics and we really like them. They have offices in Northbrook and Lincolnshire. We actually found them from a recommendation who takes there kids there also and they have been really pleased with them too. They have some weekend hours too which is nice.

If you are in the Downers Grove area Downers Grove Family Practice is WONDERFUL!!! I go to Dr Ambrose, but all of the doctors up there are wonderful and so are the nurses and the rest of the staff. Love them all!

We LOVE Dr.Max Pitlosh he is at touhy and western and it is a 30 minute drive for us and worth every minute. Our 2 kids (newborn and 2.5) and us parents all see him. He is young and smart and has a GREAT bedside manner. He works out of St.Francis hospital. ###-###-####

I love Dr. Robin Uchitelle on Lake St. in River Forest-- she's wonderful and as a family practice doctor she treats my whole family. I can't say enough about what a sensible doctor she is!

My family Doctor is Dr. Ozark with Loyola in Darien ###-###-####. He is one of the last Doctors who has excellent bedside manner and always listens to the patients. He is great with the kids I have a 4 year old too. I've recommended him to at least 3 friends all whom have been impressed. Good Luck

Hello,
If you're on the North side, we go to the Advocate Family Practice Center on Ravenswood. There are a number of great doctors that are super with kids. We see an attending now (Dr. Feldman), but have had great luck with the residents when we need to get in in a hurry (though they are great at accommodating sickness and last minute needs). The nurses seem to administer shots in record time... very helpful!

I don't know if you live right in the city, but we like Dr. Figueroa and Dr. Tiemstra, at the UIC Family Medicine Clinic. (Near the medical district). They both love kids and Figueroa is very interested in women's health in general - she also delivers babies.

Dr. Peter Grant in Oak Park is a GREAT family doctor -with all ages of people. I am not sure if this is in the area for you or not (I do not think that you put your location in your email). He is located on Lake Street in Oak Park!

Good Luck!
