I have been a patient here for many years, and I am very grateful to be under the care of PA Tyler Kostecki. He has a wonderful bedside manner, but also importantly, he is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and does a great job explaining all of his decisions and recommendations. These are qualities anyone should look for in a healthcare provider. I will spare the details, but I can also say with confidence that Tyler helped save my life. I am very thankful for him.

Didn't feel like the office was very interested in keeping their patients. They have an online portal with the option to schedule your appointments online, so I used it. Received a message back saying that the doctor is not available during the two weeks window I provided. All other clinics I've been into were always calling back checking what other time works for me, but not here. Felt like they were not interested.

After thirty years with our primary care physician in Chicago, my husband and I moved to Arliington Heights and decided to find a primary care doctor locally. Diane Flershem was recommended to us by a couple of people. When we made the first appointment, it was time for our annual physical. We were both immediately impressed with every aspect of the practice.

We had forwarded many of our files, and Dr. Flershem had obviously been prepared by the information she had received and had some pointed questions to ask in some instances. She scheduled a repeat of some of our previous tests which were again due and asked detailed questions about the information she had received in the reports we had sent to her.

She was obviously well prepared. Some of the tests were repeated at her office that day. Again, everyone who performed the tests were as professional, knowledgable and as courteous as she was. When we needed a little help using the computer communications, again we had the help we needed handled in a very courteous manner. We have great respect for the doctor, her associates, and technicians and would recommend the doctor and her associates for their expertise, caring and unfailing courtesy.

This is a fantastic practice. Doctor Thalheimer is a legend. He's down to earth, chill, takes time to listen, and offers tremendous advise. He's quick to respond to messages in the patient portal. I trust him entirely with my health. If you're reading this, you should disregard any 1 star ratings. Those ratings appear to be from self-entitled customers who will find any reason to complain. The majority of those reviews are not representative of the clinic what-so-ever.

I have been seeing doctors in this practice for over 10 years and it seems that the practice is capitalizing on charging patients unnecessarily. Recently, I've called to ask very simple questions and am always met with a "I'll schedule you a telemedicine appointment." The last two telemedicine appointments I've agreed to have lasted two minutes and I was charged for each visit in full when I had initially requested a quick phone conversation with a doctor or nurse.

Every time I call from now on I am met with the same response. It's unfortunate that I cannot rely on this practice to support me or my family. I've had to relay my questions to my children's pediatrician who have doctors and nurses readily available to field calls for their patients. I will be looking for a new practice, as it seems that many reviewers are experiencing similar financial scams with this practice. They are not trying to help patients, they are trying to make money. I do not recommend this practice!

I give this place ZERO star if I could. This place is a SCAM! As many others complained - This is the ONLY place I've known in the area charging "office visit" for annual physical exam (which usually is 100% covered by insurance). Going to annual wellness check in this office like stepping in a trap - If your doctor asks you if you have any concern and you answer anything, they consider that's a office visit.

My husband was charged for office visit last few years. This year, he absolutely didn't ask anything yet he was still charged for a office visit. I saw the manager replied some complaints, saying they do that to save the patients' 2nd trip. That's WRONG doing. Nobody going to a annual physical wellness checkup, knowing that insurance covers 100%, would expect being charged for office visit.

If the doctor would charge for any check-up items, he/she should let his/her patient know that what he/she will do would be charged extra. But the doctor never mentions about that. Again, this is the ONLY clinic charging extra as "office visit" for annual physical wellness exam while it's covered by insurance 100%. While this clinic does have some good specialized doctors, DO NOT USE DOCTORS IN THIS CLINIC AS YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN FOR ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAM.

I had a wonderful experience at Riverside Medical with the Cool Sculpting center. The environment was very relaxing and welcoming. The staff was so accommodating, knowledgeable, and made you feel completely comfortable. JoAnne, was fantastic, and was able to answer all my questions and concerns. She was extremely well-informed and really an expert in this field. I was more than pleased with the remarkable results and will definitely go back to Riverside in the future!

I had an amazing experience at Cool Sculpting at Riverside Medical! The team is so professional and realistic about expected outcomes from the cool sculpting procedure. I am thrilled with my results. The entire process is easy and pain free. Also, they have very flexible hours and were even open to weekend and evening hours at times that no other office would offer. Shout out to JoAnne! She was amazing!

This was the best team of medical staff I've ever experienced. It had been a decade since my last physical, from the moment I called to schedule, and as I registered I was treated with kindness and respect. I was slightly apprehensive as I was meeting Dr Jason Thalheimer for the first time. He was thorough, patient, knowledgeable and kind. When my exam was completed he explained what tests he'd like to order and why. Thank yiu for providing exceptional care and service.

I'm not only giving the practice 5 stars because I work there, I'm truly giving it 5 stars because of the way this practice treats me as an employee AND a patient. We are family. This group of doctors have grown their medical practice over the past 37+ years by word of mouth and their reputation. We have grown from 4 doctors to 7 with a PA. We offer on site ancillary services so patients can avoid going to the hospital for tests and we accept most insurances. We are a private practice and are proud of our close knit team of employees who make coming to work everyday a ton of fun.
