Great visit
Helpful, considerate, will definitely return to this doctor and office
This was the first time this provider actually sat down and talked with me for awhile and listened to what I had to say -
This was a good visit with this provider -
Dr Low and staff are personal, respectful, and professional. They take the time to answer questions and attend to the patients needs! Well done!

Excellent physician. Always friendly and caring.
Great experience.
Dr. Karich is always considerate and he provides good dialogue.
We talked freely about my concerns
I was veru satisfied with Dr Kakodkar. He took me in right away because I had a problem with my heart HE listened and checked my problem / He took all the necessary measures and he has helped me. I highly recommend him and his staff. I am happy to be seeng him.
phone appointments are not satisfying or thorough.
Dr. Marzec and I communicate using E mails rather than face to face. I will miss him when he retires next month.
Very good visit with Dr. Spanik
Dr. Dodhia has been the primary care physician for a significant number of years. He has a long-standing relationship and is well versed in all of the health - physical and mental- issues at hand. This is a significant positive continuum of care.
The office visit was impressive. He was very impressive. Thank you for being such a good doc.
All my doctors are extremely knowledgable, personable, and professional. I like them all.
He seemed genuinely concerned with my questions and concerns.
Provider always is concerned with my well being and listens carefully to what I have to say - I appreciate this in a doctor.
He's always so nice and friendly
very good experience
Dr Kakodar is one of the best. I was scared and he talked to me about options he shared his concerns and reassured me. His office staff are friendly and happy!
Very good. It was to check my coagulation level.
Good Experience.
Great experience, great Dr!
pleasant and caring physician
Good, positive and to the point.
Dr. Kakodkar is a very personal, easy to talk to doctor yet professional and gives me confidence because he knows cardiology from textbook to experience. The technical and reception staff at Advocate (formerly Dreyer) are friendly, kind, and care about people. They try to make things as easy as possible for the patients.
I have been with Dreyer since I was born. I hope with Advocate, I will like it enough to remain a patient there for the rest of my life. The cardiology department is certainly what I would like to have.
Excellent care and answered all my questions. I will be receiving additional care
Good
Very pleasant , answered all my questions.
I never had a bad experience there. They are always helpful and nice
All good.
not enough time
To bad you do not have higher then 10 for this doctor. Or any of the other doctors in you cardiac dept.
I truly hate to write anything for fear it will be held against at surgery date coming up. I have struggled for years with heart issues and I just cannot seem to get anywhere. Dr X always has treated me as if I am his most important patient at every appt. Dr Kakokadar however doesnt have time to even sit down in a chair. This is nothing new; I always feel as if im making up my heart condition and that nothing shows is what has been said to me on many occasions. However I did have 3 ablation surgeries done by him. I just always cringe when I have to see him as I feel as if im burdening him. I just have not had good luck and will do some research in the future after my surgery is complete. next week.
this visit was to have what was supposed to be a routine check. it turned out not to be routine, but it was handled very well.
good
Always friendly. Answered all questions and explained exactly want she was doing
both pacemaker tech and Dr K very attentive and knowledgeable
good visit. dr listens to my comments and responds back appropriately.
It was good.
I have complete faith in my Dr.'s ability to address the need to correct my problems with my pacemaker.
I am very satisfied with the care I received from all associated with Advocate Care!

Dr. Nuyles--never makes you feel rushed--He takes time to explain things.

I have always been treated with the upmost respect by all in this department. From the receptionists to the nurses and techs, to Dr. Sidd himself, all have been positive and supportive. Have the greatest confidence in all at the Advocate medical facilities. Great team.
I was at the office for a routine test but with a concern. Dr. Sid saw me in the hallway, heard my concern and saw me right away. He scheduled me for surgery within the week to tackle my afib.
thank you for an excellent explanation of my echocardiogram, ekg and monitor as well as what to expect moving forward for management and treatment
good
i use my chart to talk with my provider where possible. we rarly talk over the phone.I've been with Dryer sonce 1992. I'm very satisfied with all the care i get. if I have guestipns and need something o just need to send a my Chart message. My Chart is the best thing sonce sliced toast.
Very happy with Dr. Vastola. She always makes sure I am up to date on all my medical needs and always follows up quickly with any test results.
great, professional,very understanding and explaining the procedure very well.
Good.
Pleasant
Actual visits to the office are fine. The staff and doctors are excellent.
Great Doc!
Had been in the hospital and he was following up on what was wrong and put me on a heart monitor to see why I passed out. Monitor showed what was wrong so I'm having surgery
nice experience with her, good discussion, just wish my doctor would have responded back with her suggestion to put me on a new medication a lot sooner
The entire staff at Advocate Dreyer is professional in meeting my needs. They all provide me with sense of security.
