February 12, 2025Jaime C.Verified patient
This was one of the best overall experiences I have had in a long time. I was greeted immediately upon entering the facility. Christine took me back to the exam room. She took my vitals and pertinent information. Dr. Nikolakais came in within a few moments. We had a nice conversation which put me at ease. He completed his exam and said Christine would be back in shortly to get the remaining info. She took me across the hall to provide a urine sample and blood draw. Cassandra did an outstanding job. I have no bruising. The entire office staff was friendly and patient . I felt extremely comfortable throughout the entire visit. Thank you to all.

I needed to see Dr. Nikolakakis because he was my doctor for over twenty years. He left the Advocate facility and I wasn’t satisfied with the doctors that I visited afterwords.

The front staff was very friendly and warm.
Addressed my questions confidently!
Medical staff and phlebotomist were so efficient and friendly.
Dr Nick was very personable, keyed in on my immediate concerns and answered all my questions.
I was recommended by my Gyne office, and it was an excellent recommendation.
