"Rosanna made me feel welcome - my insurance was the same, sos all I had to do was update personal data, and sign okay to treat papers. The Polish? technition? Tatyana? was very efficient and Samantha Liam was very beautiful, but I knew she was married. The only problem was that i didn't have any questions already thought through before I came, and so they didn't get answered. Once i got home some questions arose, but it was too late to ask. Kelly helped me reschedule for next year when my insurance will reset, and she was not only cordial, but encouraging because she did what my mom used to do- let me know that I'm making good decisions. Also, the building, waiting areas, and offices were really clean, and well-maintained. Sincerely, Brian Carlson ."
"Not sure where all these low ratings are coming from. Since the first time I went there last year the front desk has been so friendly and comforting. They really make you feel at ease. Dr.bernsen is also very reassuring to me. I always feel like I’m in good hands. No matter if it’s for a colonoscopy or just a regular visit, I have a pleasant experience. I am able to get ahold of the office and schedule appointments either by phone or the portal messenger. Overall, amazing office."

So, thanks for the big improvement."

Whether they are busy or not, I never feel like I am not important. Each Doctor has met with me at one point or another I can not say a single negative thing about them. I would suggest them to anyone I know. Updaye 2023: They had a problem with meds being delivered and they went above and beyond for me to ensure I didn't miss an infusion. Another example of great care and service. Thank you to the incredible staff!"

I felt like family. I felt at ease. Everything went well! Dr. Pillai and all of his staff were amazing. Highly recommended!"
"The nurses were all friendly and accommodating. The anesthesiologist went through the process with me and was also a nice man. Dr Christopoulos was very professional and gave me the the results in terms I could understand. I have to give a shout out to Debbie, one of the receptionists. I was very upset when I got there, because we got lost on the way there and I had to go the bathroom really really badly. She walked me around the facility to calm me down so my BP was not over the top. It must have worked because my BP was 135/60 before the procedure. Though having a colonoscopy (especially the prep) is not a walk in the park, the staff there was exceptionally efficient as well as compassionate."
"Illinois Gastro was excellent, everyone was helpful, friendly, compassionate. Colonoscopies are not the most comfortable procedure 🙄 as we all know, but the staff and Dr Losurdo were great!!"

Way too many signs all over the front desk and one employee got verbally ( under his breath) upset that I walked up to him rether than the far desk and pointed at one of the hundred signs that said window closed or something of that nature. The nurse was awesome, fast and pleasant through the entire visit. Overall I would definitely recommend this office."
"Illinois Gastro was excellent, everyone was helpful, friendly, compassionate. Colonoscopies are not the most comfortable procedure 🙄 as we all know, but the staff and Dr Losurdo were great!!"

"I was very impressed from the registration process, the procedure "prep" and the follow up later that morning. Everyone was very courteous and professional, yet very caring and aware this is not something the customers do everyday. Dr Christopoulos had excellent follow up after the procedure. As one wise man used to say...It's not everyday I go to get a colonoscopy, but when I do, I go to the IL Gastroenterology group/ Northwest Endoscopy Center in Arlington Heights. Highly recommend."
"I'd like to thank Dr. Stinneford, staff and everyone at the Endo Center of Elgin Gastroenterology for the professionalism, timeliness, and comprehensive pre/post communication that accompanied my procedure."

"I was so well taken care of! My nurses, anesthesiologist and Dr. Sunil Joseph could not have been more professional, kind and comforting. I was filled in step by step of my procedure. The office staff are always available to help with any questions or concerns and if they need to reach out to the doctor for your answer you always get a prompt call back. Many thanks to Dr. Sunil Joseph, the nurses and the rest of the group for taking good care of me!"
"The people behind the desk and the nurse practitioner were extremely accommodating and kind. I had a bad experience with the lady who came in to take my blood pressure, etc. I shared that with the nurse practitioner and she got the woman in charge. She welcomed my reiteration of the situation and led me to believe she would pursue it. Thank you!"
"Very professional from beginning to end. All staff was caring and tentative to my needs as well as my wife. The anesthesiologists was really good as well. I've worked with some great cardiovascular anesthesiologists, and he was just as good."

"Dr. Joseph’s practice is a well oiled machine. Extremely competent knowledgeable and organized.

"Highly recommend Dr. Losurdo to anyone who needs a gastrointestinal doctor. An amazing doctor who puts his patients first. I've been going to him for over 10 years."

He said Dr. Joseph was very caring and a good doctor to get the procedure done with. Dr. Joseph addressed all my concerns, explained the procedure, and was given all the prep and instructions for the procedure ahead of time. The night before the procedure, the prep solution was not as bad as I thought it would be. On the day of the procedure, everything went well as it could. The anesthesia was good and I never knew what happened or felt any part of the colonoscopy procedure. Felt like I dozed off for a few minutes, was awake 45 minutes later and went home. No complications whatsoever. Would highly recommend Dr. Joseph to others for your colonoscopy."

He discusses things in layman terms, so it’s easy to understand and digest (see what I did there?). He is VERY hands-on with his patients’ care… always making sure I send him updates when I meet with other doctors or get my infusions and such.
