"In my 80+ years I have not had a better doctor visit than I recently had with Dr. Patel. First, it started on time. How rare is that? Dr. Patel was prepared; he had read my file before coming in. He spoke clearly, making sure I understood. He reiterated what the plan of action was, making sure I got it. I can’t praise my experience highly enough."
"I truly appreciate and really felt cared for! Dr. Sun is a great doctor. I Am grateful to have her taken care of me. And her Nurse Sue is fabulous, and so is the whole office!"
"I have the utmost confidence with Dr Qazi. He is a true professional, a great listener, and is truly concerned with his patients. He personally follows up to give test results, and to make sure there are no lingering questions."
"Dr. Lee was great! He asked me questions about what my issues were. He took time to talk to me and provided ideas as to my diagnosis and treatment. The experience was positive and encouraging. I am grateful for his help."
"I have been very happy with the care given by Dr.Kim and his staff. Everyone there is most kind and helpful. The doctor really listened and then thoroughly explained what my test results meant and what he thought we should do. I feel very confident recommending him to others."
"Dr Kosmala is an extremely caring and friendly physician. Never does one feel anything other than true confidence in his treatments or knowledge. A TRUE professional."

"Dr. Shapiro was kind, calm and took time to explain my results. He answered all my questions and was not in a rush. A doctor like him is hard to find these days. The nurses were also wonderful!"

"I was very impressed by Dr. Kenneth Chi’s professionalism. He was attentive to hear my concerns and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all my questions in detail without rushing. Dr. Chi was approachable and comfortable to communicate with. There was a wait to see the doctor of more than two months because his clinic was full, but it was well worth the wait."
"Dr. Seraphin is an excellent doctor. I highly recommend him. Last year when I was admitted into the hospital. They gave him to me for a GI doctor. I was diagnosed with liver disease. This doctor I feel went above and beyond for me. Doing the proper tests. Still being unsure which liver disease I had. So he referred me to someone who could properly diagnose me. He worked with me and my countless questions. I recently had a colonoscopy done with this Dr.. It went very smooth afterwards he told me what he saw and explained everything. He is very personable and dedicated to his line of work."
"Dr. Gluskin is very thorough, knowledgeable and empathetic. He gives you his complete, undivided attention and doesn’t rush through your appointment. He explains everything in terms that you understand and is one of the kindest providers I have ever encountered. I have many chronic, and some rare conditions and fully trust in Dr. Gluskin. The office staff display the same attributes as Dr. Gluskin, which shows me that he leads by example and the standards set by this GI group are very high and all patient centric. I wish they had all the specialties I need for my health conditions , because they would be my choice for all. I had worked in healthcare over 30 years and have experienced all levels of care and experiences, but none have ever been as positive, reassuring and pleasant as any and all interactions with this group."
"Dr Robinson thoroughly read my chart before seeing me. My regular gastroenterologist had just retired.He listened carefully to my story and questions. He explained my condition and clearly recommended an excellent treatment plan. He was kind and laughed at my jokes. He’s a 5 star doctor!"
"Doctor Clark is great! I think the office is a little too busy though. It’s hard to speak with him personally a lot of times and you end up speaking with a nurse and the nurse practitioner makes a lot of the decisions on your health which is not bad but you’re paying for the doctors advice on your health issues. I do highly recommend Dr Clark he has been amazing with ECD banding procedures he has performed on me and the staff is excellent in the surgical area as well as the main office."
"This was my first time visiting the GI Alliance of Illinois: Evanston, and it was a good experience overall. Dr. Ana Patel was beyond amazing! She listened to my concern, made me feel comfortable with my check-up, provided a fast resolution to my problem. The only downside is that their offices don't have a system to remind their patients about appointments. Unfortunately, I missed my first appointment due to me going to the Chicago location instead of the Evanston location."
"Listens to everything you have to say very comfortable talking to her tries very hard to keep you comfortable she even deals with the insurance company to get your medication would definitely recommend to anybody"
"Dr.Pillai is an above excellent Doctor !!! Always very professional. His entire staff are all excellent ladies. I always feel very comfortable & well taken care of.

I had Dr. Jennifer Dorfmeister, she was very nice. I would definitely recommend this facility for a routine colonoscopy or any other service they provide."
"I was very satisfied with Dr Patel but the cost of the office visit for 10 minutes was too much especially when I have to pay so much out of my pocket and the billing department is terrible paid online but it did not get posted until a whole month later and I got notices about my bill being sent to collection agency"
"I saw Samantha NP for my first visit. She was very nice but felt my first visit was rushed. I felt the visit could've been more thorough but overall the visit was good."
"Dr. Moxon was straight and to the point. He didn’t leave me wondering what my next steps were for treatment or anything. The way he explained stuff was kinda silly too which brought a lighter feeling to the visit. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was a little nervous about trying his suggestions, which I think he took as me not willing to try what he was suggesting. But overall good experience."

"I saw the NP and absolutely loved her! She listened to everything I had to say and asked a lot of questions, started ordering tests immediately and followed up first thing the next day when the first results were in. She actually gave me different instructions than any other GI that I’ve seen (there have been several). The office was clean, they were organized and very efficient, but I was not rushed during my appointment in any way. I would definitely recommend to anyone!"

June 2023- I can say this is one of the best medical service I have received. Pre-op and post-up, CRNA and the doctor (Gina, Nikki, Julie and Carl) - all are very kind and provided great care. Thank you!"
"I certainly could write multitudes of accolades regarding our treasured, Dr.Stinneford. However, I'd much rather share a beautifully touching short story that goes back to 1998. My mother, Helen was hospitalized at Sherman Hospital, her Primary Doctor asked Dr. Stinneford to evaluate her. Upon meeting him the very first time, my mother said the following heartfelt words, "Janet, I just love Dr. Stinneford, he reminds me of your brother, Jim ( her favorite child). With a tear in her eye she continued, could you ask him if I may call him Dr.Jim." I did ask him per my mother's last precious request. His answer, "I would be "honored" if your mother, Helen would call me Dr. Jim." This short story speaks volumes, humility at it's finest from one of the most beloved Dr's. of all time!"

"Dr. Chi is a consummate professional that takes the time to listen as well as explain the whole process of the different procedures that his office provides. His staff is equally professional as well. He makes the process so simple and straightforward that it doesn't even feel as though you're going through any type of procedure at all. To be honest, it's easier than going to a dentist's office. He makes the colonoscopy and endoscopy a very simple process. Lastly, the anesthesiologist was phenomenal. I highly recommend Dr. Chi and his wonderful caring staff!"

I highly recommend Dr Wayne Lue."

"Edit 3: It’s been said (below) but it bares repeating, Dr. Cahill is THE BEST! She always has my personal best interests in mind and takes the time to ask questions and truly connect with me. I feel blessed to have her as my doctor. Edit 2: received a call back shortly following my first edit below. Dr Cahill was gracious with her time and explained the results as well as treatment options with me. EDIT: Although Dr. Cahill is wonderful, I need to edit down my review. It’s been 12 days since my procedure and I still have not received results from my biopsy. Dr. Cahill has been so good to me during my treatment with continuing digestive issues. She does not “push” any certain treatment or test but rather takes the time to review all options. Dr. Cahill is also very conscientious of insurance coverage so that there are no major unexpected out of pocket charges. Aside from all of this, Dr. Cahill has made me feel very comfortable in spite of how awkward it can be to discuss digestive issues and undergo a colonoscopy. I’ve never once felt embarrassed with her and that I appreciate so much!"

"I recently had a colonoscopy at North Shore Endoscopy Center with Dr Liebovich after a positive FIT test. I was experiencing the obvious fears and anxiety that most do when having to undergo the procedure. I am pleased to share that the nursing staff were amazing, explaining everything and making sure that I was comfortable and completely informed. They are the kindest and most compassionate group of professionals I could possibly imagine. And Dr Lebovich is an amazing doctor who has my complete confidence. He made certain that I was completely informed, comfortable and quelled my fears about the procedure. He truly takes a personal approach to each patient. I can’t say enough about the entire staff who treated me so well. Highly recommend this group and doctor."

"My primary care doctor recommended Dr Qasi after I was experiencing some gastro issues and I was due for a colonoscopy anyway. It was the best decision I made to follow her advice. The office staff was helpful and informative. Dr Qasi went above and beyond to help with the scheduling as I was traveling and he opened up his schedule to accommodate me. I've had 2 procedures performed by Dr Qasi. He was professional and did a great job explaining the procedure before hand and then after explaining the results so I understood what was happening. He is a concerned and caring doctor with a great bedside manner. The staff at the offices as well as the surgical center were kind, smart and efficient. I highly recommend Dr Qasi and the GI Alliance of Illinois! Excellent doctor! Addendum to my review... as I was writing this I received a call from Dr Qasi regarding a prescription he sent through to my pharmacy. There was a problem with the dosage. He personally called me this morning to let me know he adjusted it so insurance covers it. Dr Qasi is a doctor that cares!"
"Dr. Gluskin is always caring and thoughtful, looking at the whole picture and Landscape of my medical conditions! A very nice man and a good Doctor-Thanks"
"Dr Lue Is extremely Knowledgeable very good at what he does. He is kind, friendly, and he has an excellent demeanor with everyone. I personally love the fact that he is always smiling.

"From start to finish it was the best. Office staff was great. Dr Liebovich was incredible. He went over and explained everything to me.

"Amazing experience, from the minute I called to schedule an appointment to date. Very thorough in the evaluation, very clear in explaining what he wants to do. Unbelievable ease and comfort in procedures. The referral, the follow up. Not many doctors will call you on the weekends to check on how you doing and advice on meds and diet. I did my first colonoscopy at Loyola 12 years ago and I can tell the difference. Thank you Dr Qazi and staff."
"Dr. Robinson is awesome! He has great bedside manner. He’s very patient and takes the time to listen to your concerns, explains things so that you will understand."
"Getting your health checked can often be a stressful experience in life, but their office helped make my visits a pleasant one. I can’t say I went to the office in high spirits at first because I was dealing with unpleasant health. The office works were kind and explained everything. The doctor was well educated and talked to me on the terms that I needed to understand. I was prescribed an operation and not one that most people would ever want to do. I knew that the doctor had my best interests in mind and cared about my health first. If I would not have made these appointments I would be in far worse health."
"This is the second time I have been to this office and again they were wonderful!! Everyone is so friendly and efficient! Would highly recommend them."

He is by far the best GI doctor I have been to! If you are looking for a GI doctor look no further. Thank you Dr Lou and staff!"
"Truly one of the best. It’s hard to find a doctor who shows that they genuinely care for a patient and listen to all of your needs. James Stinneford, M.D. is everything you could hope for and more. A+."
"The office consultation with Dr. Robinson left me feellng so confident that my problem swalliowng could be resolved. He listed to my description of my symptoms patiently and responded citing science and his experience treating similar symptoms.

"Doctor was good in terms of direct suggestions to deal with my issue. The only disappointment about this first time visit is how rushed the doctor was. I was told by the referring person who is a patient of the doctor, that she is calm and takes time to listen. This was not my experience. Perhaps it was one of those extremely busy days. Nonetheless I will continue to keep her as my GI doctor."
"I have seen several GI doctors in past ten years and still no help. Another doctor of mine recommended Dr. Kevin Liebovich. He made me feel comfortable the first time seeing him. He is compassionate and takes time to listen to my concerns instead of rushing through the visit. I never had that in the past. I am grateful to have this doctor!!!! Everyone that I have interacted with at his office have been helpful and very kind."
"Dr, Kaplan is quite gifted and competent, but his ability to keep abreast with evolving procedures and methods assures his patients that his solutions are among the latest. A thorough and diligent doctor. To me, after 16 years of experience with him, he is the very best at his craft."

"Fantastic doctor! I recently switched to Dr. Liebovich because my long-standing gastroenterologist wasn't trying to figure out the problem. I have a significant gastrointestinal history, including colon resection. He methodically began a series of tests and medications to start to eliminate possible diagnoses. He did a colonoscopy and endoscopy that found a benign stomach polyp, and resulted in diagnoses of esophagitis, gastritis, and microscopic colitis. He is the holy grail of doctors. He listens to his patients' symptoms, realizing they are clues to reaching the diagnosis. He is very smart, but also communicates in a kind, direct way that is understandable. His staff is fantastic. I am so grateful that we are getting to the bottom of my concerns after three years. So many doctors seem burnt out and have lost their passion. Dr. Liebovich clearly loves his job and his patients. I am so grateful."
"Kind, courteous employees were very helpful and respectful to me. I was Given clear information and instructions to follow. I feel Confident that my treatment will go well."
