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.

Had 2002 Vocal Surgery
I was a Flight Attendant w a major carrier who was Blessed to have a colleague of Dr Bastian's notice that I was struggling to speak in the plane. He Referred me to Bastian. I made an Appt through Olga-his then secretary. We Scheduled for immediate surgery which was 3 months out. My flight attendant job was on the line. I flew from MIA to ORD for the Surgery, at which time there was a massive snowstorm in Chicago which impacted the other patient's attendance. I was the only one who showed for surgery. My friend gave me a ride to Loyola Uni and waited w me as I was afraid to be alone not being able to talk. Dr Bastian said he had some pro's who wanted to "observe surgery." I agreed to them Observing; was even more relieved I was not alone. Took about 30 days of silence till I started squeaking out sound. Considering prior I was told we really didn't know how the surgery would impact me, that I may never talk again, I was/am Grateful for a Full Recovery. Highly Recommend Dr Bastian

For the first time in six years, I have a diagonsis! And a path to relief of this crazy cough. I had to fly half way across the country, but well worth it. I recommend that anyone with an enexplained cough, do yourself, friends, family and co-workers a favor and see Dr. Bastian.

I haven’t had a voice in almost 3 months. Doctor Bastian scooped me and immediately saw that it was a functionality problem, even said that I would be walking out with some voice SAME DAY! I cried when I heard my voice again! Doc said that it will more than likely be up and talking again in NO time at all, and would be totally cured by next appointment. I’m so excited right now I cant even describe it!

Dr. Bastian and his staff are fabulous. His exceptional knowledge and unsurpassed skills are incredible. His “bedside” manner is superbly comforting and reassuring! I am so grateful for his talent that corrected both chronic and acute conditions that no other physician diagnosed or treated correctly. He is a blessing!

Dr. B. is FANTASTIC! HIGHLY skilled and patient focused! He’s not only at the top of his game, he also cares about his patients and what their voice means to their life and profession. I did my research and went with him even when I had to self pay. Office staff is also great! Highly helpful. You get what you pay for!

I have seen Dr. Bastian for over ten years. Twice I have had to go to other doctors for various reasons (once was out of state), and both times the new doctor said, “Robert Bastian? Why are you here? You should go back to see him.” The office and staff are routinely wonderful, the office and it’s location is beautiful. No better option.
