Looking for a specialist...

Dr. Kovac is a neurosurgeon over in Dubrava. I can't say for certain if he's still practicing at that specific location, but it would be worth checking up on him.

I'm looking for a solid ENT recommendation in Chicago. I’ll be staying in the area this January and I fully intend to get a thorough check-up. Honestly, I don't trust the local private clinics down in Miami—last time I went there, I got absolutely ripped off for $233 during a rushed exam, and they completely missed the diagnosis...

Where in the US can you actually go for the heavy-duty bowel surgeries (small or large intestine)? Like, where do they have tons of experience, and which doctor should I be looking for?

I heard San Francisco recently became a referral center for that kind of stuff?

I’ve been to America Polyclinic before and it was actually a really pleasant experience. Plus, if you happen to have their insurance, they give you a 20% discount on the exam.

Looking for a recommendation for a knee ultrasound because of an injury and some swelling—should I go to Kvaternik or Acromion?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a neurologist in Chicago? I’m looking at the wait times for a referral through insurance, and honestly, they look pretty brutal, so I’d much rather just go private. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Does anyone know a decent private rheumatologist in Chicago?

Hi everyone, my family doctor's office was just shut down. I was told to head over to the Social Security Administration website to find a new primary care physician, but I'm having zero luck finding anyone. Could use some help here.

Maybe try emailing the director of a local Health Center directly to ask where there's availability—then you can pick one based on whatever criteria actually matters to you.

I need to get an EKG done before anesthesia. Does anyone know where in the newer parts of Chicago I can schedule one through Social Security? If I remember correctly, they don't offer it at Siget Health Center, but I might be wrong.

I'm on the hunt for a good general practitioner around the Trnje area, but man, finding decent info online is proving to be pretty tough. I was wondering if anyone could share some recommendations—or even warn me about bad experiences—regarding these specific doctors:

Vesna Latković - Čizmić
Nevenka Buhin
Aleksandra Dabanović
Zvjezdan Šimić
Ino Kermc
Vesna Rogan Čuš
Ana Turk

Honestly, any bit of info you guys have would be a huge help...

Hey there.

Looking for a cardiologist recommendation in Chicago for adults. Ideally someone who can also handle Holter monitoring, EKGs, and stress tests. Basically everything.

Thanks

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good pulmonologist in Chicago? I don't mind if it's a private practice or covered by Social Security Administration, either way works for me. Thanks!

What city? And if it's in Chicago, which neighborhood?

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone might know—which private oncologist in Chicago would be worth seeing—if someone has an MRI report suggesting a malignant tumor? It looks like there might be metastatic changes in the spine, and the primary tumor could (perhaps) be from the breast. Essentially, I’m looking for a recommendation for a solid oncologist who can confirm the diagnosis—or perhaps suggest further testing before making it official—and then walk through the prognosis and available options. We're talking about an elderly patient here.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good private neurologist? My doctor won't give me another referral for the hospital, and I really just want a second opinion on reading the MRI from the disc.

Nicholas Kelly6, maybe try seeing Dr. Vesna Brinar?

I was hoping someone might be able to recommend a reliable cardiologist working out of a private clinic or office. I'm looking in the Chicago area, specifically around Trešnjevka, though I'm more than willing to travel outside the neighborhood if the expertise is there. Thanks.

Hey guys, looking for some recommendations for a clinic in Chicago where I can get a gastroscopy done under anesthesia. Quality is a huge deal for me, but I’m also trying not to go totally broke doing it. 😊
