GI Alliance of Illinois: Glenview

Be carefull with this place. I self paid for my exam and it is 2 months now that I am receiving the same bill, went directly to the clinic to resolve it, I was assured it is resolved and I am getting texts, calls, emails and letters with this double charge. Same happened to my parents few years ago when they were double charging their insurance. Very unethical. I am very dissapoited. Will have to look for different GI, I don't have such a spare time to deal with billing issues for months

First visit to this office and a gastroenterologist in general. I was able to get an appointment 3 weeks out, which is much quicker than any other gastroenterology office I called. I saw Dr.Doniparthi for recurring abdominal pain. She is very kind, and walked me through potential diagnoses, and tests we would needed. Her first instinct was spot on, only one test needed. Within 2.5 weeks of my visit, I was having surgery to address the cause of my issues. Now 2 weeks post surgery and doing much better. If I hadn’t come here, I’d still be in pain and waiting for my appointment that I originally scheduled with a different medical office and provider.

This place is so unprofessional and rude. My first interaction with a dr there made me very uncomfortable so I switched to a highly rated dr and waited months. When I met her she was rude, stared at me several times without saying anything, and dismissive. I had anxieties about my health issues that neither doctor addressed. I finally worked up the courage to call back and try one last dr there who had great reviews and was rudely told I can’t see him because I can’t be hoping around from doctor to doctor in the office. They only have seven doctors and I can’t jump from doctor to doctor even when I explained I had a bad experience with both previously. I wasn’t asked why I did or what they could do to help, just told over and over I can’t bounce around the office as is their policy but one switch was ok. This place made me feel horrible and put of my health issues or force me to see a dr that made me feel uncomfortable if I wanted help. Thankfully I found a new place and will never come here again.

I am experiencing a sudden change in habits that have become incredibly debilitating. I went to this group because they were helpful for a friend of mine (his issue was not as urgent), but they were anything but that for me. There was seemingly no sense of urgency or care from the doctor to get this solved asap. I'm now worried I may lose my job because it's preventing me from working. They pushed my procedure (which was intended to figure out what is going on) three weeks out. Meanwhile, I can hardly eat anything without pain and am starving because of this. When I told the doctor he didn't have much to say other than to stick with bland foods, which I've been doing (I guess they expect me to endure this for weeks on end). I politely asked for a sooner procedure and was told the doctor would call me back. They never did, and so I am seeking help elsewhere. I called another GI group, and after describing my symptoms to them, they are fully understanding of the urgency of this matter. If you need help for anything urgent, I wouldn't recommend this group at all. They seem to be well reviewed by people who have been going there for some time, so new patients beware. UPDATE: These people sent me a bill and the website doesn't even work correctly... Tried calling their billing office for the past TWO WEEKS, and no one will return my calls! What a joke!
