I was in a very difficult situation after a long battle with workers compensation to get my injuries cared for. Finally got approval for the surgery after a 6 month period and 2 weeks prior to surgery my Doctor abruptly left. I needed a SC joint specialist for reconstruction of the SC joint. My Doctor was with Duly and after he last they had no other SC joint specialist and referred me to Dr. GARBIS. I explained my situation and they were able to get me an appointment in that same week. After my visit, Dr. GARBIS was able to get me scheduled in 3 weeks!! I lost very little time in what could have been months of waiting. Extremely thankful. It is my first time using Loyola, as I live in the western suburbs and have been with Duly ( formerly Dupage Medical) for over 25 years. I would highly recommend Loyola judging by my first experience.
