Elmhurst Memorial Center For Health

During a heartbreaking doctors appointment, the greatest neurologist told me he was changing the his hospital affiliation. I told him we were driving 45 minutes just to see him every other month and he was kind enough to tell me he was going to Elmhurst. With that, I switched my HMO so I could continue seeing him.
Fast forward a few months to my first visit to Elmhurst Memorial Center for Health. It is attached to the hospital but houses outpatient labs and affiliated doctor’s offices. They offer valet parking for the less able bodied individuals (or lazy). The facility is absolutely beautiful.
I have never had a bad experience at this doctor’s office. The staff are more than helpful. This might be my doctor’s staff but… every time I call with an issue, they call me back that day. The staff are understanding to my needs associated with my illness and incredibly compassionate.
The outpatient lab is very user friendly. You initially check in on a touch screen and it gives you a number. Then you are called to a staff member that takes your orders from your physician, enters them into their system, and sends you to wait for the phlebotomist. It has always been a quick in and out with no appointment required.
Last but definitely not least is my most favorite thing! Mychart! Elmhurst uses an electronic health record that allows you to see your appointments, request refills, send messages to the doctor, pay bills, and see the appointment summary. This way when I throw away that paper my doctor handed me telling me what to do between now and my next appointment, I can just pull out my trusty smartphone, log into their app, and see what it was!

How unethical to charge a hospital outpatient fee which is not covered by insurance for each time I enter my dr. s office on Addison… this Elmhurst Hospital is driven by its debt and costs are being filtered to any patient seeing a Dr. within its system… truly unethical… a facility fee… beware people and be aware that we have great alternative hospital systems very near by! Loyola, Hinsdale, Lutheran General… no facility fees!

Elmhurst Memorial is hands down the BEST hospital that I have ever experienced! My father recently had knee surgery here, and from the moment the nurse took him in for prep — he has had nothing but the best care! Not to mention the attention and consideration given to family and friends who are visiting. The customer service is tremendous, and is everything a hospital should be! I only wish my doctor was associated with this fine facility!
Thumbs up to you, Elmhurst Memorial! Fine example for all of the rest.

There are few times in life when you need to go to the emergency room! But when you do you should not have to wait 2hrs and 34 minutes! Longest wait time ever! Stop spending money on how nice your hospital looks and focus on care and patients! Sheeesh wont go here again ever!

Visiting the doctor can be a very scary experience no matter how old an individual may be. I have never enjoyed going to see doctors and I have absolutely hated the awkward, uncomfortable waiting rooms that tend to take over doctor offices throughout the country. This is why I am so pleased with the Center for Health. The first great thing is that they have a free valet service available so you don’t have to walk if you need assistance or just don’t want to walk in general. The parking lot is large and no matter where you park, it is not far from the entrance.
The interior of the building is beautiful and relaxing, with a warm fireplace and beautiful and calming fountain in the main lobby. I currently go here for prenatal appointments and will continue to go here for pediatrics in the future, so my waiting room and employee interaction experience has been with this particular section of the center.
The second floor is where this particular section is located and it is just as comfortable of a place as the lobby. Although it does not have a fireplace or fountain, it has a relaxing fish aquarium near the seating area and a television on the pediatrics side. The desk staff are WONDERFUL and so incredibly kind. They move quickly, know what they are doing and are always willing to provide additional assistance.
The OB doctors are insanely nice as well– my favorites include Dr. MacDuff, Dr. Page and Dr. Ghia. They each have wonderful personalities and are ready to actually spend TIME with their patients. I have never enjoyed going to the doctor until it came time for me to visit with them. I truly appreciate their experience, knowledge and kindness and I would definitely refer any of my friends/​family to see them as well. I don’t necessarily live near Elmhurst, but I am more than willing to travel the 30 – 40 minutes to see them for each appointment.

I have been here several times in the last couple of months with a family member. At first it was for the Rehab facility which is just fine… nothing too exciting.
Now we are going here for labs on a regular basis. Sometimes the orders are complicated and come from different doctors or even out-​out-​of state hospitals. And it can get very frustrating. However, the professionalism from Sharon (at the main resgistration desk), has finally prompted me to rate and review this location. Sharon simplified the lab orders so that return visits will be much smoother. Thank you so much, Sharon!

It was time to select a new Dr. and because I knew I wanted a doctor that was associated with the brand spanking new Elmhurst hospital i chose a doc from here.
Everyone that I have come in contact with has been great. They even have this amazing system where you get a computer ID and all your information is sent there so you can check your records, bills, appointments, etc.

This is a thoroughly modern clean facility. If you’re close to Elmhurst, this is the place to go for any kind of medical care.

I’ve been taking my kids there for the past 7 years and have never had a bad experience. The pediatrics department is great, their doctor is amazing. I don’t live near Elmhurst or their other locations but I still make the trip because of how great the doctor and treatment they receive is. I also went here when I was pregnant with my first child and all the ob/gyn’s were great.
