A very good listener. Always encouraging.

11/21/2023

In person care is ok to good, but when you not in front of someone it is extremely difficult to obtain scheduling phone numbers. If a new dr isn't listed as a provider your are NOT able to message them in the portal and all recorded messages tell you to use the portal. It's a shame an infuriating.

Doctor Holman is a great person. He just knows me and has helped me when I was having my worst back and neck pain. He is patient and kind. I can’t say enough about the respect my husband and I have for Doctor Holtman I can’t put down on paper how amazing he is And I am honored to have him as my doctor.

Highly recommended. Very trustworthy.

The procedure was very painful but very effective. It has been 12 weeks and I am not in the horrible pain that I had been experiencing since 2021

08/02/2023

I guess there is pain that can't be controlled.

07/10/2023

The Burr Ridge location seems to be the best. I scheduled all my appointments out of there except for my internist who happens to be in Oak Brook Terrace.
