I waited for an hour before being seen for ear pain. The doctor seemed dismissive and suggested I try vaporub.

April 10, 2014Aaron O.Verified patient
I would not go back to this provider. He made me feel like I was dumb and that I had too many questions. He was short, condescending, and did not listen. Maybe he had a bad day, but I would never go back to him.

Very professional and courteous staff. All my questions were answered. My visit was expeditious and the entire staff was efficient.

I’ve never had a more uncomfortable experience with a PCP in my life. I went in because I had an infection on my toe. He told me I needed to see a podiatrist, and he could not help me but send medication to CVS. That’s fine, but he told me, “You seem disappointed, which I can’t seem to understand why.” Of course I’m disappointed. Money doesn’t grow on trees. I wanted him to be able to help me, but I understood he was unable and was not rude about it. I explained that I understood he could not help me, but I wished I didn’t need to go somewhere else. I recently had a foot surgery, and he tells me I should go to a podiatrist in their office, which is very far. He starts to argue with me about how it is close. I told him it is an expensive Uber visit each way or an hour and a half in public transit. He argued with me and said it wasn’t as far as I was saying. Even though I’ve taken the trek to my surgeon many times, and it’s the reality. His arguing with me was completely unnecessary!

He stated I would need to go to the ER and the ER was confused and just gave me medications and mentioned that the other Dr could have done the same.

Very nice/clean office. Waited a while for doctor, and he was very much in and out. When asked which of the several over-the-counter medications I had would work the best, he told me they'd all work pretty similarly? Didn't really get to know me or ask too much about my symptoms. Kinda made me feel like it was a waste of time to go.

Would definitely recommend Dr. Nee. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. Will continue to go despite the long drive for me.
November 21, 2025Danelle C.Verified patient
It probably took 10 minutes for the doctor to even look at me. Went straight to the computer, don’t shake my hand or ask my name. Very transactional

Dr. James Nee is the best and very much appreciated Primary Doctor. Yes, he is professional and knowledgeable but what is so outstanding his caring heart, compassion, truly concern, passion, integrity, kindness, reachable, and excellent people skills. I am so pleased to have Dr. James Nee for my Primary Doctor.
November 12, 2025Cynthia M.Verified patient
I have never been spoken to in a more condescending manner than I have by Dr. Nee.
He seemed flabbergasted that anyone would want to do a blood test out of curiosity even though they are healthy. And even when I tried to explain to him I understood a small bit of what we were talking about, he still talked to me as if I was an idiot for even considering to try this test.
When he asked if I was doing an annual exam as well, I said yes and he seemed to grow frustrated with me. I even apologized if I had frustrated him and instead of clarifying whether he was or was not frustrated he grew even more disheveled and rude.
I left simply because he was so insulting in his manner towards me. I absolutely wouldn't recommend him or Innovative Healthcare because of this.

Fantastic doctor in wrigleyville
September 10, 2025Thomas B.Verified patient
Doctor was pleasant, liked him. Office experience was ok. Took about 30 min past my appointment to see the doctor but he did not rush through my appointment. Like the doc, office is ok

My visit to see Dr.Nee at Innovate was better than seeing a Primary
at a hospital where I had to wait for 30+ Minutes. Here, the front desk
reception had a friendly greeting, a few papers to fill out for my first time visit. Coffee & water is available. Dr. Nee is Highly professional and friendly.
I do recommend you try Dr. Nee and the Innovate Practice. Several locations
in the city of Chicago. Be Well!
August 4, 2025Kenneth C.Verified patient
Great experience! Such a friendly crew and Dr. Nee took quality time with me to understand everything regarding my background to help assess my needs. Special thanks to everyone! From the moment I walked through the door to the point I left it was smiles and a comfortable experience with everyone.
