Dr. Mark Shukhman, MD

My psychiatrist of 40 years was retiring so he regrettably recommendedDr. Shuhkman who recommended I follow up with a physician's assistant in his office. Throughout the appointment, she was rude, disrespectful, and abruptly ended our meeting when she asked me what level of education I had achieved and I truthfully answered a master's degree. I didnt understand the problem til once again, my prescriptions were canceled and I called my old doctor to find out what was going on. Apparently, Dr. Shuhkman and his associates think their patients are only or should only be capable of and expected to drool. He had called my former psychiatrist and read him the riot act for being 'so out of touch with his patients.' He claimed me and several other referrals were 'psychotic and delusional and he failed to see it.' Tell me, what is so strange about a person twice as old as his pa having a master's degree? I sent a copy of my diploma; they wouldnt apologize.

Dr Shukhman’s approach is thorough, and seeks to understand the whole person. His knowledge of endocrinology and pharmacology inform his recommendations, and I could not wish for a kinder more caring doctor.

I first started visiting Dr Shukhman’s office in 2021 and I have been a patient of Rebecca Shukhman’s since November of 2021. I have never felt more supported and more cared for by any professional in my entire life. They always look out for their patients and treat them with the utmost respect and dignity. I’m very happy to call myself a patient of theirs.

made a telehealth meeting. Good choice.I felt in good hands. Appreciated his Northwestern background and education;good sense of humor, honest, clear, compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and nice.I would recommend him to others.

DR SHUKHAM is an excellent psychiatrist with many years of practice. He is compassionate and extremely knowledgeable and seems to really care about his patients. He also has an excellent staff that follows up promptly.

Dr. Shukhman is an amazing doctor. Anyone who is looking for a psychiatrist with an outstanding knowledge, excellent bedside manners, compassion and friendliness will be very pleased to be under care of this physician. He is attentive to his patients needs, and he can listen and hear his patients. Dr. Shukhman is very approachable and always make himself available if his help is needed. I am very impressed by Dr. Shukhman and highly recommend him to everyone who is in search for a great doctor.

I didn't even have a visit. I thought I would have one. I was going to fill out a new patients form so they have my info and insurance and anything else. I was prepared and had everything I needed to see him. But was told at the end that he is not seeing anymore patients. If he is not seeing anymore patients, why wasn't I informed in the first place? I feel he let me down, confused and not taken seriously. I wouldn't recommend him because he didn't even give me a chance to get help I needed in the first place. If he isn't seeing anyone new and I was told this in the first place, I could of found someone else.

Dr. Shukhman was fantastic. He is very analytically minded and explained everything very well.

Dr Mark Shukhman, MD was a good psychiatrist to speak with and to help me think through my problems. It was a single visit but it was informative.

I've been seeing Dr. Shukhman for a few months now and have been very satisfied with the experience. He has been patient in answer my myriad of questions and walked through medical details I was unaware of in a manner that was easy to understand.

I have never seen a psychiatrist before having made a telehealth appointment with Dr. Shukhman. I have always had a negative mindset towards prescription medicine, but was desperate for help. Struggling with a divorce, insomnia, alcoholism, PMDD, depression and mood swings, I thought it was time to try something new. I am a healthy eater despite the alcohol issue, and felt like a hypocrite living this "organic lifestyle" and would turn to the bottle to shut my mind off. Dr. Shukham was very kind, understanding and has a great sense of humor and listens very well. After a couple if weeks of being on the prescriptions he gave me I felt like a new woman. Sleeping 8 hours all the way through the night was a first for me in more than 15 years. My brain can process information slower and I don't feel as overwhelmed and worried about haunting thoughts. I no longer need alcohol to "numb" and gave lost 8 lbs as well. Highly recommend Dr. Shukham.

Telehealth appointment with him and he was great. Got a grief history and listened to my needs and current RX's. Provided advice and my refills with ease. thank you!

After moving across the country to reside in Illinois finding a psychiatrist to continue my treatment wasn’t easy. From my very first visit with Dr. Shukhman I finally felt safe and secure. He’s been with the greatest gratitude, always listening , observant, professional , intuitive and one of the most caring and straight up Person/psychiatrists. He also understands the word empathy which many mistake the definition fir sympathy. Perhaps it’s his ability to know empathy is what makes him one of the greatest Doctors I’ve ever known. Plus thankfully he has a good sense of humor. Highly recommend Thank you Dr S, Donna Shroyer

I have had one of the best experiences with Doctor Shukhman. He has special treatment and medicine for his patients and I feel better each time I visit him. If I ever feel down again, I will surely come back to see Doctor Shukhman. Thank you Doctor Shukhman.

I had a pretty poor experience with Dr. Shukhman. This was my first time visiting a psychiatrist so I did not know what to expect, but Dr. Shukhman did not spend a lot of time listening to me and wrote me off as a "stressed out college student." Worst of all, he tried to make a joke after I described symptoms such as as suicidal ideation. I felt extremely uncomfortable and would not recommend Dr. Shukhman.

After a lifetime of seeing doctor after doctor for both physical and mental health issues and receiving no relief due to their cookie cutter approach to healthcare, I stumbled upon a paper written by Dr. Shukhman regarding the use of LDN for mental health issues. I live out of state, but his office was willing to set up a phone consultation. He called me on a SATURDAY, and spoke with me for over an hour. He is brilliant. He approached me as an individual and not just another number. Bless you.

Completely sympathetic! Works with you to come up with a solution. Lovely person. Brilliant.

Dr. Shukhman is very friendly and compassionate doctor. He has a good sense of humor, while maintaining professional and efficient standards of service. He is very knowledgeable, always on time and actually listens. Great doctor!!!

Thanks to the honest, caring professional Dr. Shukman, I am alive and well. He helped to wean me off of the dangerous mind-altering meds, especially that wicked Klonopin prescribed to me by by a previous Psychiatrist who did NOT explain the risks involved and link to suicides. I had suffered the Akathisia so common to benzo usage and nearly ended my life because I could literally not sleep nor stop motor movements physically for weeks due to the non-disclosed effects of the benzos.

Truly outstanding. I have been to several of the highest rated psychiatric care institutions in this country, yet have never made as much progress as I have with Dr. Shukhman. His knowledge of psychopharmacology is unparalleled. His persistence and encouragement have helped me turn my life around!
