In patients' words

"I have not been able to get an appointment there since last year because the administrative staff there is so inefficient. Today they cancelled my appointment because I did not answer a call yesterday to confirm insurance details."

Birdeye review of Primary Care at Lake Forest Hospital

"While my doctor was excellent, Sharon’s care was unacceptable... She appeared indifferent to my pain and was slow to respond to calls or check in."
