Comments
Dr. Wistenberg was very thorough, kind, and helpful.
I saw Dr. Wistenberg for a presurgical clearance. She's an excellent and thorough doctor.
My previous doctor was no longer practicing. Dr Lexy was recommended by a friend. She was professional, caring, friendly, and a good listener.
Good visit.
This was a wellness check up. Dr. Wistenberg asked many questions and spent quality time with me
very good and detailed
very thorough
I like Dr. Lexy very much. She was my doctor for many years. I came back to her clinic even though my hospital is not Lutheran because of her very nice to excellent and asked w/regards to my health.
Good.
Dr. Wistenberg is the absolute best! I know I'm receiving the best care with her.
Dr. Wistenberg is always right with her diagnosis of my ailment. She knows exactly what I need to feel better.
ALWAYS GOD TO SEE HER, SHE IS GREAT
I fully trust Dr Wistenberg and have for many years. The office, however, has been hard to reach, has not returned calls and lost my labs,so I have to go back and have them redrawn, which in. pandemic is not good.
Dr. W. has been great with my health care. Spoke with my children on several occasions when I sought help.
Superior doctor: Caring & understanding. Always answers my notes on the portal, mostly with a phone call. Understanding & caring!
my provider was accommodating and helpful.
I liked how I was treated.
dr Wistenberg has been my doctor for 20 years. she is the absolute best. I couldn't ask for anyone better!
I like and respect my primary doctor. I also appreciate her PA and office staff.
Dr. Wistenberg always takes her time to discuss all of my concerns. She listens when I talk and I find that important, especially when I'm not feeling well.
My blood sugar was out of control earlier this year & Dr. Wistenberg called me everyday to see if it was under control yet. Eventually, she sent me to the hospital & I was diagnosed with pneumonia. But she stayed on top of the issue until it was resolved. I know she has numerous other patients, but she treated me as if I was the only one. She is a wonderful doctor who really cares.
Dr. Wistenberg was such a nice doctor that even I called her from home and will ask some questions about my present condition (because I'm having slight fever) she called me back and explain everything to me. You can depend on her most of the time.
This was an appointment on the computer (Zoom) and the telephone (hard of hearing). With my daughter listening, we spoke for more than an hour!
Excellent doctor. Have been seeing Dr. Wistenberg for many years with confidence.
Dr. Wistenberg is very caring. She checked on me periodically. She replied to my messages on the portal in a timely manner. I'm lucky to have her as my PCP for the last decade or so!
Dr. Wistenberg is an excellent health care provider. She is responsive, a great listener and someone I trust with all of my health concerns.
great experience as always!
This was my initial visit/virtual with Dr. Wistenberg. I am grateful to have selected her as my PCP, and feel confident in her medical expertise. Her professionalism and that of her staff is very much appreciated.
Excellent
She is calm, very detailed and has patience Answers my questions and made suggestions as needed
Dr. Lexy Wistenberg. She is trying to help in any way possible to help my situation.

dr witenberg was exceptional
Lexy Wistenberg is super terrific.
It was and always has been a great experience.
I like my doctor very much. I feel very comfortable talking to her.
Dr. Wistenberg is always kind, professional and extremely thorough. I am very grateful to have her as my physician. She has been my primary care provider for 24 years.
Very through physical with Dr. Wistenberg as always.
This provider always makes me fell I am being well cared for , listened to, that she is willing to spend whatever amount of time is necessary to seek a solution to my problems and to take responsibility for the decisions she makes.
Provider took the time to make sure all my health issues were addressed which I appreciate. As a result the wait was an hour. The nurse didn't take my temperature and she mentioned my blood pressure was high and it would need to be taken again but it wasn't.
Dr. Lexy Wistenberg is the best physician in all of Advocate! She remembers past visits, she remembers family members, she cares about life outside the doctor's office, she responds quickly and with compassion.
I have never had a physician as caring and competent as Dr. Wistenberg. She is irreplaceable!
Great experience, as usual. DrW is always thorough, interested, caring and professional. I have full confidence in herand appreciate her comments
My experience with Dr. Wistenberg was very pleasant and helpful. I feel that she is an excellent internist and I have been her patient for many years.
Good experiences.
Dr Lexus IS great! She always takes her time with you! And is concerned about the what's going on with you
To much computer work for the doctors
Dr. Wistenberg is always interested in my well-being and is very thorough. She always spends plenty of time with me during my visit and gives good advice.
Dr. Wistenberg gets an A+ from me.
Dr. Wistenberg is an excellent listener, asks the right questions & always gives great advice. I think she is a great doctor & takes time to make sure her patients are getting great care.
Overall, I bad first time experience visiting this office for a sick visit. 90 minutes total visit time, 70 of which were spent waiting.
I arrived 15 minutes early waited 30 minutes in the waiting room before asking a receptionist about if the doctor was running late. Then a nurse brought me into a room to wait an additional 20 minutes, until the doctor arrived. So I saw the doctor 50 minutes past my original appointment time. I needed to take a swab for the flu and was told to wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes and that someone would let me know the results. After waiting 20 minutes, I asked the receptionist about my results and the medical assistant said "oh we already got your results awhile ago...it's negative." This office appears to not be managed well and the personnel are not coordinating these processes correctly for the patients. I was there for 90 minutes in total (50 minutes waiting to see doctor, 20 minutes waiting for swab test results). I thought this would have saved time compared to going to a minute clinic, but now I'm not sure. I have been to other Advocate medical offices and did not experience this, so it is definitely this location.
Provider was wonderful, insightful, took a lot of time to get up to speed w/my health history.
Receptionists were rude.
Dr Wistenberg is a terrific Dr to have! She's caring, concerned and eager to help.
hate that we have to call a central number to reach Dr. or make appts. was so much easier just calling Drs office directly. Especially to ask to speak to Dr.
very happy with the time she takes to check on my well being. all drs should be like her care and concern.
Dr. Wistenberg is wonderful. She is caring and kind. I would recommend her to anyone. She was extremely helpful.
The nurse that took me in that day, on the other hand was grumpy and not very helpful.
Dr. Wistenberg is the best provider I've had in an extremely long time. She is professional, thorough, kind and just exceptional overall!!!
Love Dr. Wistenberg!
Dr. Wistenberg is amazing. This was my first visit with her and she took the time to understand my concerns & overall health. I can not say enough good things about her.
Very good experience, I will continue to see her.
Definitely GOOD.
very good. caring doctor.
always professional with knowledgeable reference to my medical needs!!!
I always feel I am in good hands with all myconcerned health and healthy healing with atouch of kindness!!! it's a wonderful feeling togo forward in the day until our next appointment!!!!
Dr. Wistenberg was fantastic. She followed up on my labs immediately and responded to a message within one day.
The nurse was also wonderful. She followed me outside into the frigid weather to confirm my medications, and gave me a follow up phone call.
Dr. is very professional doctor. Also willing to explain condition to pt.
Very satisfied with my PCP visit with Dr. Wistenberg. The exam was very thorough and Dr. took her time in going thru things.
My only comment is that blood work was taken on 12/24. Most results were in on 12/25-26 on the portal. Today is the 30th and someone from the office should verbally follow-up with the results, even if results were fine.
Great visit with Dr. Wistenberg.
Dr. Wistenberg is an excellent physician. All the providers need more time with their patients - The MD's, PA's and NP's.
This is a great group of medical professionals. Give them more time to spend with their patients instead of timing their visits so closely...
Dr. Lexy Wistenberg - great doctor! I love her!!
Dr Wistenberg is an awesome doctor. Very knowledgeable.
Dr. Wistenberg is a great physician , spends time listening and documenting a thorough medical history. She's very compassionate, funny, and friendly.
Check in and out okay. There were drinks and snacks in the registration area , which probably should have been out of patient view. Registration staff were very nice .
Always great. She listens and explains everything so it is easy to understand.
Dr. Lexy Wistenberg is very professional and also personal doctor, she puts you @ ease during visit.
Always a good experience and visit with her.
Couldn't have been more delightful.
