Family Medicine practitioners - Wheaton, IL

"Took me two years to write this since I was still recovering from what a horrible job this place did and made me feel. Firstly, I wanted to make sure I was healthy and in a comfortable place as it's already a scary feeling going to see a family/ob-gyn doctor. they could not have been more business-like and rushed me to a room and told me to change into a gown. Secondly, absolutely no care at all about my well-being; I wanted to talk to the doctor about my concerns and she (Dr. Anita Bednarz) did not make me feel comfortable at all. We were discussing health options and such but she made it feel like a brochure. I left that day with more questions and research to do on my own. Whenever I did have additional questions or concerns, my inquiries were hardly replied to and if/when they were; it was very abrupt and dismissive. To be frank, her replies were almost condescending, as if it was a bother that a paying patient in her practice wanted to ensure she was making the right choice for her body. After enduring THREE months of pain to go away, mind you, she said this pain was "normal" and brushed me off despite weekly calls to her practice because the pain and the bleeding was getting worse and worse.. time after time. I called again.. but to no avail - she never returned my calls or emails and was never in the office apparently, and I did this all while seeing many other doctors from there to try and remedy the situation. Can you believe this? The primary medical 'professional' who did this to me, is not available for consult?? NO one could remove what she had put in me. Waited another month and thanks to (Dr. Reinaldo Sanchez) I had to go under just to remove this medical thing and be pain-free. With all that said and done, I'm thankful for this life lesson. If it weren't for the fact that we had insurance. Spending $2K on my health and safety should not have come to that. I will not recommend this place to anyone in or near the area. Case in point; "Dr." Anita Bednarz is a person you would never want to have to deal with in any health-related capacity. She does not take the time for you as a patient whether if it is before, during, or after. I went through my initial treatment with her due to her 'selling' me the idea of what could be good for me, but never looked into my prior medical history and take into account of what complications there may be. Even a General Practice doctor would know this from the start. How Bednarz passed her medical board exams is beyond me. I would confidently say that if she were to stay in practice, anyone that is even thinking of going to her place of practice; to think twice and go just about anywhere else. I still have all my records from the initial treatment, the complications, the phone logs, emails, everything .. all of it just in case if I need to take Bednarz to court and file suit for malpractice. I've worked in healthcare long enough to understand that it's a tough field, but I've never in my life encountered someone completely and utterly soul-less. Bednarz should be removed from practicing any form of medicine immediately as she is a dire risk for anyone that may be seeking care. I've kept these records and took this long to write this review just due to the extreme stress and anxiety it's given me since. Rest assured, there may come a time and place where I will take her to court for this. On a brighter note, upon deep review and after discussing my horror stories among family, friends and peers; many recommended (I wish this happened prior but such is my lesson) I go see Dr. Cynthia Page of Elmhurst, and she was an absolute gem."

"Dr Tibble is a wonderful doctor. I have been going to him for several years. He is patient and answers all my questions. I am a black female, retired and I hope I don't have to change doctors. "

"Dr. Nelson was amazing. Very knowledgeable about most conditions, gave recommendations for those conditions and more options. Easy to work with and talk too. Took the time to hear any concerns. One of the best doctors I have encountered."
