I'm looking for a bit of assistance here—I am currently searching for a good general practitioner, perhaps somewhere near the Cleveland Browns stadium area or maybe just around Downtown... does anyone have a recommendation they could share?

I am looking for a top-tier dentist here in Chicago—specifically a private practice. To be honest, I don't mind what the bill looks like; my priority is strictly the quality of the work. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know...

The Quest Diagnostics over in the Rural district—they actually know what they're doing. Top-tier work there.🙂

The only private facility in the US specializing in cutting-edge spine surgery and diagnostics is Vertebralis. Then there's Lumbago—they focus more on pain management and similar methods; they're relatively new, so we don't fully know the long-term results yet, though the theory behind them sounds pretty solid to me.

Either way, definitely look into minimally invasive spine surgery.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a private clinic in Chicago for mole removal? I'm trying to figure out what the damage might be in terms of pricing and how long the waitlist usually looks like—feel free to shoot me a DM if you can't post specific places publicly. Hvala

Does anyone happen to know a good dentist in Miami who takes Medicare? Ideally someone working over at the School Clinic

I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience seeing Dr. Mio Gverić, the dermatologist based out in San Diego? If it helps provide context, I’m looking for some specialized dermatological advice regarding seborrheic dermatitis and a potentially concerning mole that has recently started changing shape. 🤷

Since my skin is pretty pale, I tend to have quite a few moles. I went to see a dermatologist recently to get them checked out, but the whole exam felt rushed—it was like she did a "supersonic" scan in about thirty seconds flat. 🙄 Everything is fine, apparently.

That said, I’d really prefer to see a doctor who will actually take the time to examine every single EVERY SINGLE mole, and properly use a dermatoscope to look closely.

Are there actually any specialists like that in Chicago? 🤷

If anyone has a recommendation, please let me know 🙏

Can someone point me toward a top-tier dentist in Chicago? Honestly, I don't care about the price tag or if it’s a guy or a woman—I just need someone who actually knows what they're doing and gets the job done right. Please! 😉

I think I might need a little assistance here. Ever since I moved to Chicago, I transferred my medical records over to Martić's to see a young doctor—though, to be honest, I can't quite recall her full name anymore (if I remember correctly, she had two surnames). Her office is located on the ground floor of a building on Martić's, specifically in the left wing of the hallway. She was practicing there at least a few years ago, though I suppose things might have changed since then. I’m really just trying to track down her name so I can check her hours and figure out how to book an appointment. Since I don't live in Downtown Chicago anymore, it isn't particularly easy for me to just drop by to ask. If anyone happens to know who she is, I would truly appreciate the help.

If I’ve posted this in the wrong section, I'd appreciate it if the moderators could move the thread to a more appropriate category.
Hvala.

I actually went to see a dermatologist recently to have them checked out, but the whole exam felt like it was over in a heartbeat—she just gave them this lightning-fast glance for about a millisecond and called it a day. 🙄 She basically said everything looks fine.

Still, I really want to find a doctor who will actually take the time to look at every single SINGLE mole, and I mean using that specialized magnifying tool.

Does anyone know if there are any doctors like that in Chicago? 🤷

If you have a recommendation, please let me know. 🙏
Thanks!

I’m in the exact same boat, honestly, because I’m dealing with the same frustrations with my dermatologist. It felt like she just took a quick glance and told me there was maybe a fifty-fifty chance things were okay, then told me not to worry too much. 🙄 Surely we shouldn't both be seeing the same person? 😲

Hey there.

Does anyone know a decent dermatology clinic or practice in Chicago? I need to get my scalp checked out. Dealing with some dandruff issues and what feels like seborrheic dermatitis. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a great dentist here in Chicago who accepts Medicare? I’m really looking for someone who actually treats people like human beings and isn't stingy when it comes to using enough anesthesia or numbing injections. I definitely need a doctor who understands those patients who get majorly panicked just thinking about sitting in a dental chair. Please let me know! 🙂

Feel free to shoot me a private message if that's easier. Hvala!🙏

DM me. Thanks.🙏

I honestly don't think they exist. I'm looking too, but frankly, I don't care if it's private practice or through insurance. 😉

Since I'm still a student, things are a little tight for me right now. Do you have any recommendations? I noticed someone from the forum sent you a DM, so I figured I'd reach out and see what you think! 😳

If you find a good one, let me know because I'm dying for a recommendation too! 🙂
