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.

Dr. Starr has been my 3 kids doctor since they were babies. I trust her and have always felt that she takes her time to listen and care for the children.

I would never ever go back to this woman. She doesn't know how to treat sick patients like humans - she just panics and runs. Streeterville review: The good: 1. Dr. Brown is great - efficient and data driven. Tells you everything you need to know. The bad: 1. The office staff are really incompetent and sometimes rude. 2. Dr. Starr seemed to be great, but she turned out to be the worst doctor on staff. She's simply talkative and takes extra time with you which makes her appear to be great. My son kept getting viruses back to back during a month stretch. Dr. Brown assured us that it's due to this weakened immune system which prompted him to catch another one. We had his 1 yr check up with Dr. Starr so we thought we should take advantage of the appointment to get him checked out since he was running a fever and we were worried of course. When we came the front receptionist took our temp and showed at a whopping 94 degrees. We laughed and said yeah thats not right. She didn't say

Dr. Kuo-Starr has taken care of my girls since the day they were born. My family stays with her because she’s a great pediatrician. She suggests how to solve issues without jumping into prescribing antibiotics. My teens feel comfortable enough to talk with her about any issue. We will continue to see her until Streeterville Peds can’t see us any longer.
