I'm not satisfied with my present GP and Gyno so I was wondering if anyone has doctor(s) that they'd recommend. I'd really like a doctor that doesn't just hear me but really listens. I went to my doctor a couple of days ago and described my symptoms and he told me "you don't look sick". But then tests confirmed that I have pneumonia in both lungs and a bacterial sinus infection. I have had really bad body aches that make it difficult for me to sleep and asked if he could prescribe a really good pain reliever and he said "are you asking me for narcotics?" I was kind of shocked by his remarks and really embarassed. He's not all bad, as he did recommend the appropriate tests and such but I would like a doc affiliated with Lutheran General and preferably female that treats patients with respect. Any recommendations?
I LOVE my GP! Her name is Dr. Jane Bang and she is in the Oak Mill Mall on Milwaukee and Oakton. She really cares about her patients and always listens...she is in her 30's and does not seem "burnt out". She remembers the smallest details from each appointment to the next.
MY OB/GYN is Dr Joyce Chams and I love her. She is in practice with her dad, Dr. Albert Chams, and even though I did not prefer a male doctor, I saw him a few times while pregnant and really liked him. He actually ended up delivering my baby because they had two deliveries at the same time and Dr Joyce came into my room to tell me that she had 2 patients (me and another) ready to deliver, but I would be natural and the other woman was a C-section. She asked if I would be willing to let her dad deliver my baby or if I wanted her instead. By then, I was familiar with him and he was so calming and wonderful during the delivery. They have 2 offices but I went to the one at 4200 W Peterson.
Love them both--whether pregnant or not, I always feel that they are really listening to my questions and concerns and they have a very reassuring and calming way.
Hi Diana,
I highly recommend Dr. William Brander.He is affiliated with Lutheran General.He has been my familys GP for 20 years.In his office group-there are also two female doctors that have also taken care of my family when Dr. Brander is off.They are also liked by my family.Their office is located on Busse in Park Ridge.
I go to Dr. Snow at Parkside at Lutheran General. She is wonderful and listens very well.
