Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible
Terrible experience with this doctor. Have had a pre-existing diagnosis for over a year, been on a medication that works for me- refused to write my script bc he wanted his OWN diagnosis. Refused to check my blood, though I was sent in an emergency due to high inflammation in my blood and being without my medicine. Terrible terrible terrible bedside manner, does NOT listen, does not believe a word you’re saying. Staff is rude and rushed. This whole clinic is a joke. But ESPECIALLY this doctor.

The doctor is excellent. He listens carefully and answers questions thoroughly. He seems very kind and compassionate while knowledgeable and professional. He continues to provide excellent care for me and is available for help between appointments when necessary

I have had RA for the past 3 years. I know how RA works, about the medication, the symptoms. I recently moved to Illinois from Indiana. I been seeing a doctor over there for the past 3 years. When I moved I need to find a new doctor. I wish I hadn’t, I am very disappointed in the service I received and will never go back to CGH in my life. I first saw this doctor back in January 21. COVID is still alive and well. I saw him twice after the second time I was done. First he question the fact I even had RA! Whenever I asked him question about RA.. he didn’t have an answer, what family of medication is this from?…. Nothing.. what does this medication due to your body if you got pregnant.. I don’t know they don’t do research on that anymore. lol lies. He would prescribe me medication and wouldn’t even tell me anything about it.. it took me two visit to realize he isn’t the best. I will never go back. I now take my business to northwestern in Geneva .

Very disappointing... was referred to do more testing after prior positive ANA lab result. He made personal decision to tell me I have no auto immune disorders. Instead of following procedure to do assorted tests to find out why my ANA result is positive. Would not recommend him to anyone. If caring Dr is what your looking for, he is NOT IT. Be best to Search out of the CGH Sterling/Dixon area...
