I saw the doctor right away, but had to spend an hour and a half waiting for tests with other people.

I waited more than 2 hours which is absolutely unacceptable. Besides that the doctor was great. He explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease.
It was my first time at ChicagoENT and I actually enjoyed my cleaning. The staff was friendly and once I was processed, the visit did not take long.

I thought it was satisfactory. I would probably never recommend Dr. Venkatesan because I felt rushed when he was in the room. I appreciate that he was quick and efficient but at the same time I thought he could have taken more time with me. I don't think that I would go back to this office.

Dr. "V" has been my E.N.T. for over 4 years. He is kind, intuitive and very knowledgeable about his craft. He takes time to answer all my questions and I never feel rushed in his presence. I highly recommend him!

My 2nd visit to this location went ALOT better. The first time i had requested Dr. Venkatesan but was seen by Dr Friedman. Friedman didnt take time to listen to my concerns that i went there for - my ears - and instead was intent on pushing me for a sleep study, etc.. Venkatesan listed to my concerns, actually looked at my ears, and prescribed me drops to try and clear up my persistent infection.

This was my first ever visit to this office. They have top notch staff at this place - all incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I interacted with 9 different people while I was there. They ALL asked me, with confused looks on their faces, "now, why are you here again?" Not one person sat down, looked me in the eye and let me explain in detail the reasons why I was there. Dr. Venkatesan spoke with me for maybe two minutes. Didn't sit down. The only doctor who really listened to my concerns and responded to them was Dr. Steinberg, the audiology specialist (no pun intended). And after they put me through four to five different tests, which took over 2.5 hours, there was no doctor around to sit down with me and tell me what they thought was going on! Dr. V had left for the day! I had barely been able to tell them what was wrong! I have to go back for another appointment, pay another co-pay. I went there knowing - by reputation - that they would put me through all the tests they possibly could. Maybe that means they are thorough, maybe they just want my money. But after spending so much time there, it would have been nice to be respected enough to be allowed to talk with someone for more than two minutes. I hope this review helps with their processes, because I really do think the doctors and staff at this place are incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I just wish they'd share their knowledge with their patients...

While we waited for a long time, the nurse and reception staff were very nice and explained why we were waiting. Dr venkatesan was not available, he had to go to ER or something, but the doctor we did see was nice and did a great job. I will definitely come back, all staff were very nice to my Developmentally Disabled resident, who I brought to get his nose looked at. You would be surprised to know how many doctors and nurses are rude and uncomfortable with this population. Thank you very much.

Dr. Venkatesan and staff are true professionals! Friendly, efficient, and understanding....after my visit I could tell their overall practice was geared to meet their patients needs. Outside of the care I received, I was seen on time and not kept waiting more than a couple of minutes throughout my hour appointment (including several tests) which is a rare with most Doctor visits. Great overall patient experience, just the way it should be.
