NorthShore Orthopaedic

This is an exploitative, criminal office that (1) filed my insurance claim under the wrong code, resulting in a $511 bill for an x-ray I did not need whatsoever (and that they didn't tell me would be charged separately), and then refused to change the code. And (2), they used the other x-ray to insist I proceed with a serious back surgery, a diagnosis multiple other doctors strongly disagreed with. I filed many complaints with this office to at least clear the bill and I was not heard. They claimed I signed a waiver allowing it, but I could not book an appointment online without signing the waiver first. They should not be allowed to continue practicing medicine, which was really just an exercise in exploiting me as a patient.

Very thankful for Dr Birmingham for diagnosing and taking care of a missed fracture from my sons original ER visit at a different hospital. We live out of town and had to get a courier to pick up our images and get them to where they needed to go. I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANK YOU to a handful of employees that answered my calls today and helped me get it all set upTHANK YOU Trina, Lawrence & Fritz who were the ones who were willing to give the extra help and to Valerie in X-rayyou all are much appreciated!

My experiences here gave me a very poor perception of healthcare. I came here seeking professional medical guidance following a setback in rehab following a surgery earlier this year, for a labrum repair. It took several 5 minute visits to Dr. Jaworski for her to finally prescribe an MRI. Prior to which she basically advised me to ignore the pain I was feeling and continue with the standard physical therapy, program which was yielding no progress. She even told me to do my normal upper body fitness routine at varying % of strengths when I could even do a push up without causing pain. Following the MRI and based on Dr. Jaworskis guidance, I saw a surgeon named Dr. Mark Bowen (5 minute visit) who advised that I just stretch (which he advised could take up to 5 months! Ive had the surgery 7 months ago at this point) until I got my range of motion back, prior to resuming the strengthening. I followed Dr. Bowens advice for a month skeptically before realizing that if Im going to feel the same pain, I might as well do a little strengthening. I decide to focus on the rear part of the shoulder where my acupuncturist (not either doctor who saw the MRI) said I had weakness. I almost immediately saw the results I was looking for.

Watch out!!! Physicians in this facility ARE NOT your doctors. They must be hired for insurance companies which is the only thing they care about.
