I went to my regular doctor who was assigned to me because my other one retired. This doctor is not comfortable recommending me for my routine colonoscopy at 58 years old without going through his gastrointestinal team first. It seems like a lot of useless steps to make extra money. Every other doctor I've ever had has just recommended me for stuff when I'm due

Last week I received a bill for my son and called customer service because they hadn't run the bill through his insurance - likely because the bill was for service provided the day after he was born and he hadn't yet been added. I was told their system was down but they'd take my information and call be back by the end of the day. I received no call back; that was a week ago. I've tried calling multiple times in the past week and have been unable to get ahold of anyone and instead have been put incessantly on hold. Today I finally get through and am told again their system is down but that I can call back in 30 minutes. Very good. When I called back, and I explained the issue, I was told that they ran the bill through insurance back in December and were waiting to hear back from insurance but it can take up to 45 days. I questioned why they would have sent me a bill with a statement date in January if they had been waiting since December to hear from insurance. The representative rudely barked 'well bills are automatically generated!' and then hung up. Clearly an absolute scam in hopes that people will just pay the bill and not question it.

We took our son in to get tested for ASD. They had the OT and Speech Therapist in the same room, at the same time, firing off questions to my husband and I, while trying to get our son to perform tasks to get an assessment. The room was stark of toys or things to keep our son's attention or interest, so he just wanted to leave the entire time. We were then taken to a sterile, doctor's room where we were then told by an observer/ doctor to play with our child the way we do at home. Again, there were no toys or anything for my son to play with or interact with. We were then given his "diagnosis" and were told to "Take it with a grain of salt." All in all, we were first told the observation would take 3 hours, and we were only in the office with the OT, Speech Therapist, and actual doctor for a grand total of 80 minutes. You cannot get a proper assessment of ASD in 80 minutes. It's just not done, and we were left with more questions than answers. Not thorough at all and definitely not impressed. If you have a child, you think is on the spectrum, do NOT go to AMITA health; go to an ASD clinic for a REAL assessment of your child.

I ran out of my migraine medication. Didn't know I was due for annual appointment until I called the pharmacy after 3 denials of my refill. Due to moving hour away I made virtual appointment they had over a 2 month wait. Asked if I could get 1 mon refill to hold me over said they call it in. This never happened. I started getting daily headaches with unknown case. Finally had virtual visit, provider sent email with information but it would not go directly to the zoom. I had to use multiple devices to get it to work. Otherwise I would of had to reschedule and I didn't want that to happen because I needed medication. Once I got on call the provider who in the past was great, seemed not to be concerned with my symptoms. Didn't feel I needed additional testing to find if something is going on to cause these almost daily headaches. Said follow up with my PCP. I will do that but because of the way he seemed not to care about my issue I think ill look for a new provider. I'm unhappy that I have to since I normally have had great experience in the past. I'm just really disappointed that he just didn't seem to care.

Dr. Michael Meyer Exceeded expectations. I can't say enough good things about our visit with him June 17th. My aging Mother was cared for exceptionally. He even offered Lifestyle changes that were priceless. Beyond patient. Amazing professional skills and bedside manner both. Even a bit humorous like the comedian by the same name ;-)

I went to see my In network PCP who is great, he asked I get xrays. The imaging dept there is ran by Amita. They took xrays of my ankle and they were in network also. 3 xrays and they want $1100 after discounts! I had to get these to my orthopedic so I asked for a disc, They gave me a disc and there was nothing on it! So my orthopedic took xrays (in network also) and the charge was $54. They are price gouging like crazy. I work in the health insurance industry (and sell medical insurance for a major carrier) and have never seen anything like this. Not to mention I had an MRI done (in network) and it was $420. No way xrays should be 2.5 times the cost of an MRI!

Went to Amita office in Barrington, Illinois for gynecologist visit (abnormal bleeding and annual visit). Receptionist took my insurance and ID and told me I would be seen. I was seen by a nurse, I was asked the screening questions, told to change into a gown, then told the provider would see me shortly. Provider came into the room and told me my bleeding issue would not be addressed unless I paid a 65 dollar co-pay up front. Huh? Is this provider's job to give compassionate care or is her job to rudely hit people up for co-pays WHILE THEY'RE UNDRESSED? Why not have addressed the billing before or after the visit? She acknowledged that the bleeding was abnormal and I would need an ultrasound scheduled but refused "problem visit" care until I paid the co-pay. Yes, I did have the co-pay, but I'll take my 65 dollars to another gynecologist. I can't believe the callousness of this "provider". Terrible.
