She is a great provider & does a wonderful job!
Dr. Skay is one of the best doctors I have seen.
I'm completely satisfied from Dr. Skay professionalism.
Excellent!
I started care with this provider and her group after an insurance change. Dr. Skaye was such a kind, patient and thorough provider! I was immediately very comfortable in her care and would highly recommend her!
I think she is a very good doctor, but sometimes I feel like she is in a hurry during my appointments.
I started seeing Dr. Skay and associates early on in pregnancy I've been nothing but pleased with my care there.
Dr.Skay is always courteous and respectful. She is knowledgeable and patient in explaining test results, plan of care, and new medications.
Dr. Skay was a delight. The whole experience was wonderful. I will be going back to her office.
Dr. Skay is a wonderful provider!
She was excellent. Enjoyed my visit. She is caring and thorough.
Dr. Skay was amazing and a breath of fresh air - she was so knowledgeable about everything and I will enjoy coming to see her.
This was my first visit to Dr. Skay. She treated me as a long time friend, recognizing my anxiety and calmly & professionally explaining facts to me.
A wonderful experience.
Dr. Skay is exceptional. I love her.
excellent doctor experience
Colleen E Skay. She is the best doctor.
Good experience.
Dr. Skay has been wonderful!
Dr. Skay is very knowledgeable and personal physician.
Mrs Colleen is a very good doctor
My first experience there was very good. she were very helpful and I felt very comfortable with her.
Dr. Skay is as close to the "perfect provider" as anyone could ever get! She seems to truly care about her patients and enjoys what she does. I lucked out being able to find her, and I will most definitely be seeing her for the remainder of my time in Illinois.
Dr. Skay and her staff care on a personal level. I have never had a bad experience with them and doubt I ever will!
This was the first time I had an complete exam by Dr. Skay since my previous provider had retired! She was thorough, caring, and treated me like a friend as well as a patient!
I felt comfortable discussing any matter with her!
I had a concern about something mentioned in a test result for another issue. Dr. Skay reviewed this MRI and discussed my concerns regarding what was mentioned concerning her area of expertise.
I appreciated Dr. Skay involving my opinion on my investigation and care of my issue.
Dr. Skay is an excellent physician. She's very thorough & caring.
always have the very best care from all four providers at Advocate Medical OBGYN. they are all fantastic, considerate, smart, knowledgeable providers. I always feel listened to and well taken care of. nothing but great things.
great experience. only issue is billing department is slow to receive payments so even if I sent a payment they don't get it for a few days.
Dr. Skay is one of the most excellent providers I have been treated by over my lifetime. She is very caring, knowledgeable and professional, I am blessed to have her as one of my providers.
All of the times I have seen Dr. Skay I am very comfortable and she thoroughly explains what is happening, etc.
Dr. Skay is an excellent physician maybe none better except for Dr. X. I don't have enough accolades to use.
excellent
exceptional
I received good information about my visit.
good
dr skay is very easy to talk too. she always makes me feel comfortable and I never feel rushed. definitely one of my favorite doctors
my only complaint was the wait time in the room. I waited 30 minutes after my appointment time.
Shes a very conscientious doctor. She pays attention to what the patient is saying and gives all options for treatment. I would recommend her to others easily.
good experience.
very helpful and very knowledgeable. I had an awful experience previously with another doctor at another location. she walked me through everything she was doing and made sure I was comfortable at all times. will continue going to her for a general doctor as well.
amazing. very caring.
she is a great doctor and listens to her patients. I never feel rushed. she seems to really care.
The doctors and nurses are great but getting ahold of them is almost impossible and so is making an appointment. any time I've needed to speak to a nurse I never get to them and they always have to call me back which is hard for me to answer with my work schedule. I also got labs done and got called on Saturday a day the office was closed. I missed the call by 10 minutes and tried to call back and no answer. I then called during business hours the following Monday and was told she might be able to call me by the end of the day. I'd really like to know my results so it's frustrating that I have to wait this long for a simple answer. I called at 8:30 and it's 2:30 and still haven't received a call back. I love the office and they're great doctors and reception is always nice just sucks I cannot get a hold of someone.
Always great to see Dr. Skay. She is very caring and a good listener.
Dr. Skay is wonderful. She spends appropriate time at my visit, she is very thorough, and explains things in a very simple way, easy to understand.
dr skay is very easy to relate with and she takes my concerns into account and addresses them.
Dr. Skay was very personable. It was like talking with a friend. I related to her very much. I am thankful for having the opportunity to see her and to continue to see her.
Always a pleasant time
my experience was great
She is amazing!
Dr. Skay is one of the best doctors I have seen. She is very thorough, listens, and responds thoughtfully. She is very knowledgeable and considers all aspects of your health.
She was warm, friendly, very professional, & knowledgeable and treated me as if I were an intelligent person, which is important to me.
First visit with Dr. Skay - I'm confident in the care she is providing. Wonderful educator.
dr skay was very easy to talk to. she listened to everything I needed to say amd didn't feel rushed.
It was a very good experience.
defenetly great
First time visit with Skay and would definitely see her again - very lovely Doctor
I was absolutely pleased with my visit with Dr. Skay. She was thorough and addressed all my concerns and questions. She took her time and was gentle with her exam. She answered all questions and provided easy to understand and relate to advise and suggestions. She took into consideration my opinions and included me on the decision making, ensuring that I understood all that was being discussed. I am grateful to have found her.
I liked Dr. Skay a lot. This was my first visit - my long time GYNE doc unexpectedly retires. I was referred to Dr. Skay by a friend. I was very pleased with my appt.
i was very impressed. and i am not easy to impress!
Very respectful and helpful.
I love the Doctor she is really nice and caring
Dr. Skay always make the visits comfortable and she's very understanding. I feel comfortable talking to her about my health and she always asks if I have questions or if there's anything I needed to talk about.
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Skay.
great visit, good office space, MD spent enough time with me
Dr. Skay is amazing!! I feel so comfortable with her and am very happy to have found such a capable provider!
my ONLY issue was getting the appointment. I called in June to get an appt for a physical at the end of September. I was told I had to be on a wait list. I clever again several times to see when I'd get an appt. every time I was told I'm still on the wait list. finally, in November I called to get an order for a mammogram so I could get that before the end of the year. At that point, they said that I needed an appt for a physical and got me in within a few weeks. This was all very frustrating. I've never heard of a wait list for an appt. Besides that, I love Dr. Skay, but am still deciding if I'll stay with the practice. By the way, I've been a patient there for 39 years and really hate to go to another practice.
I really had a good first experience going to Collen! Glad to know I have a good doctor!
Excellent.
I highly recommend Dr. Skay. This was my first time seeing her after my regular gynecologist retired. I was wholly impressed. Love her. A+.
Dr. Skay is detailed, her visit is comprehensive and she takes the time to explain the options.
Dr. Skay is a wonderful and compassionate doctor who takes time to listen.
amazing! will continue to see her and this office
I said no because unless its an emergency you will not be seeing a doctor in a reasonable time. I attempted to schedule my annual exam in July for November, and unfortunately was NOT able to secure a date. In fact I'm on a waiting list!?! I might not be seen until next year. I also experienced an incident in June in which I called the office to get test results after almost 2 weeks and reached a nurse that at first seemed to be able to provide but then told me my doctor would have to communicate the results. Immediately I became concerned. She said she'd leave msg. for doctor. After a few days I called again to get my test results & again was told the doctor would have to tell me. Finally I called my primary doctor & hey were able to provide the results of my mammogram in half an hour. _____. My experience has always been positive but this one lacked sensitivity and timely feed back. I think in this situation it should not have taken as long as it did. As of 9/15/18. In addition I am on a waiting list for my yearly exam & still have not received a call in regards to seeing a doctor for my annual exam.
parking lot was under construction so that made entering difficult.I would like reminder cards for yearly checkups. couldn't get apmt right away because booked up and then schedule wasn't out that far in advance.
This visit was certainly a very positive experience since I had no idea what to expect
Colleen is the best OB/GYN I've had. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Always feel comfortable asking her about ANYTHING!
Friendly staff, knowledgeable doctor/provider -
This is the first time I saw Dr. Skay and I was more than impressed. She spent so much time, listened to my concerns & did a full and thorough health _____ blood work. I wish she was my primary care dr.
Dr. Skay is the best! She knows her stuff inside & out, but also actually truly cares about the person her patient is. She is a great addition to an already fabulous practice.
first time visit and so glad she is my new on/gyn. she is wonderful
very good
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Skay. She genuinely cared about me and my health concerns.
My first visit with Dr Skay was wonderful. She was on time, extremely friendly, very patient, and very thorough. I appreciated the time she spent with me. Dr Skay made me feel very comfortable and relaxed!
Dr. Shay was a pleasure! Professional, kind, gentle. This was my 1st visit with her after a 30 yr. relationship with another provider. I hope to continue my routine care with her.
I had a wonderful experience as a new patient. All my concerns were addressed completely and I had a clear understanding of my follow up plan.
Dr. Skay is wonderful. She has amazing bedside manner and explains everything very well. She is extremely knowledgeable with data on different tests, procedures, and conditions.
Dr. Skay makes me feel like I've known her forever. She's extremely thorough with the exam, etc. and genuinely cares! Don't ever leave Dr. Skay! Dr .Skay saw my daughter for her first gyne. appointment. She is 19. She made her feel at ease about everything and is so awesome at what she does. She loves her!
great
Dr. Skay Colleen is a wonderful provider. She takes her time, explains procedures and options that are available to a patient. She made me feel very comfortable.
First visit with Dr. Shay. My gynecologist retired. Really liked her - very understanding personable and made me at ease.
I would definitely seek Dr. Skay's advice with any health problems in her area of expertise.
Since switching from West Suburban Obstetrics to AMG it is more difficult to schedule yearly routine check up. I called in March as I realized I never got the post card reminder like the office used to send out to remind me to schedule, so I called and there were no routine appts. for 3+ months. And next schedule wasn't open - now it is 2 months later and I forgot about it. So the delay in my yearly routine check-up is 6 months. Frustrating!
she is amazing at her job. she is very kind and caring.
Dr. Skay was a very friendly and compassionate doctor. She listened to all of my concerns and explained the differential diagnosis and reasons for labs/procedures ordered.
This was my first time meeting Dr. Skay & I absolutely loved her! She is a great asset to the Advocate team. Would highly recommend her.
This was my first visit, and everyone was great!
