Brian D. Steinke, MD, 27650 Ferry Road, Warrenville, IL
He just performed my 3-level lumbar fusion and from first exam to follow-up he was fabulous: professional, informative, wise, practical and funny. Most telling - his surgical work is done but he's still guiding my recovery. The guy is the best!

Michael Romberg, MD, 19657 S La Grange Road, Mokena, IL, 60448
Dr. Romberg was my second opinion. The first surgeon wanted to immediately do surgery. I was told by a friend of mine to go see Dr. Romberg and my prayers were answered. He is very knowlegable and he took the time to explain things to me. I knew immediately that this guy would do me right! He made me feel better about making my decision. I was scared at first going into his clinic but his staff will make you feel immediately at home (very friendly Diana, Daniel -- Tina his nurse) and treated me with respect ! I prayed for this doctor and I thank God that this doctor came into my life! Dr. Romberg has helped me get the care I so needed and I am recovering well from surgery. I hope everyone reads this because this doctor does good! He is a humble man and he does his patients good! Shante Mark

Keith Mulki, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox, IL, 60451
Dr. Mulki is a very competent doctor. His office/billing staff is HORRENDOUS, so I cannot recommend his practice. More than a YEAR after I started treatment for a Workman's Comp case, I was told they had NO IDEA it was Workman's Comp, so it was all MY responsibility and it was going into collections. I had responded to ALL bills with the COMPETE workman's compensation paperwork, made special visits to the Dr's office to give them updated codes and so forth, and they (suddenly!) said I had never done ANY of that. Thankfully I work for a government agency, so I can pass this onto them and they WILL sort it out, but I'd steer clear of this office until enough reviews show that they've gotten their act together!

Dr. Michael Sullivan, Gaylord, MI
Very sad experience. Dr. Sullivan performed a root canal on my number 13 molar. The root canals of this tooth are very narrow and extended. I warned the Dr. that I had a traumatic experience with elongated tooth roots which for teeth being extracted both as an adolescent and as a young serviceman in the Navy. Both of those times the dentists had a rough time with the teeth. The procedures lasted over 4 hours for the tooth when I was a child, and two visits over 3 hours each when I was in the Navy. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he was capable, and that his skill was superior. I believed him. After his first attempt at root canals on this tooth, Dr. Sullivan sent me home telling me that there wasn’t enough time that day to finish the procedure. Mind you I’m under the influence of sedation at this time. I told Dr. Sullivan that I would rather have the tooth pulled than go through another 3 hours in the chair. Amazingly I believed him again when he told me the reason he couldn’t finish was because of scheduling. He also said that he wanted to prove to his dental assistants he could finish the job! Being as high as I was on the anesthesia I made the poor judgement call to return. Two days went by with excruciating pain in my upper jaw. I was having to take Tylenol and Advil to relieve the discomfort. I went back to Sullivan’s office, asked AGAIN if it would be better to just extract the tooth, and he said it was his opinion he could save it, and this time he could finish the job and apply the cap. So I strapped on his gas mask and knocked myself stupid only to have the “Doctor” root around, stretch my jaw and break off half of what was left of the tooth. When I came to I distinctly remembered the snap, the dental assistant saying “Oh God!”, and the good Dr. scurrying away into another operatory. What was I told this time? Of course that I’d have to come back since it was the tooth’s fault it was so damaged that it cracked, and now he had to make a new cap with his machine. Stoned on the good Dr.’s laughing gas I told him “that’s okay, mistakes happen”. What an idiot I was. The laughing gas wore off and the Tylenol Advil routine lasted a week. I went back to Beacon Dental Center, this time for the last time, to finally get the remnants of my tooth capped. This time he squirted the glue in to fill the root canals, fixed the cap on the tooth, and away I went. Fast forward 5 years and I’m in the chair of a very competent dentist. The dentist asks if I’m in any pain and I mention the constant pain I’ve had on my left sinus area. I’ve felt this pain for three years. I’m shown the current X-ray of the area and the Dentist tells me that it’s not normal. The capped tooth is great work (machine made, remember) but there is stuff in the canals of Number 13 tooth that extend into the sinus. After visits to an Ear Nose Throat MD, Oral Surgeon and Endodontist specialists, I’m scheduled to have an operation to remove the so-called saved tooth, and resultant fistula created by the extensive overfilling of the Number 13 root canals with guttapurcha, the latex based root canal filling material. Predictably I could sue and win to recover the costs of these procedures, but the good Doctor has closed his practice, and is now enrolled in a school in Detroit. The lawyer I consulted doesn’t see that my case is strong enough to show the pain I’ve been living through since I trusted Dr. Sullivan. Of course there are risks to root canals. I accepted the possibility of a dry socket, and possible infection, but was re-assured by Sullivan that he’s done thousands of these procedures with no bad outcomes. General dentists can perform root canal procedures along with other dental procedures, but often they refer patients needing endodontic treatment to a specialized practice, who works in collaboration with your dentist. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth. Dr. Sullivan should have not touched that tooth after I warned him of the history of my other root issues, and certainly after he saw the roots narrowness and length.

D. Carlson, 13871 Elk Run Drive, West Burlington, IA
I went in for pain in the abdomen and difficulty breathing. My general MD was not available, so I was referred to Dr. D. Carlson at the Great River Family Practice Center in West Burlington, IA. I was asked and responded 3 times to questions regading my allergies. Despite that, I was given a shot and a medication order to be filled at the pharmacy. When I went to the pharmacy to get the medication order filled, I was told "it was not the right medication for me." They would have to call the doctor for another medication. That could only mean, I was allergic to the medication ordered. That is a flagrant disregard for a patient's safety.
