Okay, so you're looking for a doctor in the western suburbs....look no further - Call Dr. Talbert--is a family practice doctor with a wicked sense of humor and a heart made of gold...though he wouldn't let on...
He has been my primary care physician for the past 20 years or so. So yes, I've had him through pediatrics, redolence and now my late 20's. Funny enough when I lost my job, he offered me a temp receptionist position till i got back on my feet.
His number one concern is your health NOT your health insurance. He takes the time to listen to you and whatever issues you feel you are having. He also is very candid about what he thinks is the best course of treatment for you. When it comes to billing, if you have no insurance he works on a payment plan with you and he tries his best if he needs to prescribe to you, generics and many times he'll hook you up with samples he receives.
His office hours are Mondays 9-5 Tuesdays 2-8 Thursdays 10:00 - 3:30 Fridays 9-3 and Saturday by appt only.
His receptionist Jenny is super sweet and he has a part time MA and a part time nurse who happens to be his sweet wife :)
My only advice to you is; when you go, take something to do--book, ipod, something. Because he listens and explains things thoroughly--he has a tendency to run late. Though if you have an emergency just go straight to the office and they'll fit you in.
Good Health to you!
